Could someone please help me find some good writing hints/tips, maybe a link to a helpful page or even give m some tips yourself?
I'm gonna try re-writing (and finishing) my fanfic, The Dreadnought Incident (and maybe renaming it? :P)

You cna read it here on the UTF.

George, how about adding a fanfic section to the OTF?

I'm writing my own fan-fic that combines Starcraft races and ships, Transcendance plot (Modified), maybe one or two pokemon referances (JK :D), and my imagination. Don't worry, I'll give tons of credit to you george (Washes George's feet [if you don't get this, start reading the bible]), and of course, Blizzard Games.

I suggest going at it in a Multiple First-Person view. Switching views from character to character might add a little spice, and perhaps show a little about the author and what he thinks of the games.

My main character dies, and it switches to that of a Renegade ship AI. Thats all I'm telling you about my story, it will be on this site first :D

Oh, and be sure that, if its Third Person (forgot which style its called), be sure to say "I" "Me" etc. in their thoughts. if its First person, be sure not to slip away. If your skilled enough, you can make the transition between PoV's anytime you want. I've already written on Fan-Fic (Realy long and I can't find the file) so take it from me, and several other people who aren't me. And credit me on giving advice too :D (Bringing attention to self :D)

Amazing. I can't believe I haven't thought of writing a story. I can assure you, it will be interesting when I do.
