Default Need advice from FanFic writers
Hey all you fanfic writers I wanted some advice about my story.

I was planning on making notes for a period of up to two years (game time) and then posting the best story elements from those two years.

Do you think this is a good idea or should I just type it as I play?

I am really hoping to learn how to become a full fledged writer some day and I see this forum and you guys as my first "public audience" so any advice you guys have just lay it on me please. hey if you think I have no hope at all of becoming a good writer then let me know that too.

Sorry for the double post.

Oh and I'd like to know what people just reading the story think about it even if they've never written their own fiction.

I don't think I'm nearly good enough to go there Though I'll take a look and see if they have any writing tips.

Sounds good, and the game events will make it somewhat linked together. Maybe play the empire in a way conducive to the story...? For example, a real peaceful race wouldn't glass planets at all.
