How to write a good story

1. Pic a good topic!
Pick something that's really neat ingame or here, or maybe something little known, too!

2. Pre-write you story.
I'm not saying make a rough draft and everything, but write down some ideas on where you
are going to go with the story and topic.

3. Pick a catchy name
Make something catchy, "The Seas See Sea Monsters", don't send it in "Battle in town between people",
I might attack you. ^^

4. Write your story in wordpad or notepad first.
If you write it in a word editor first, you can sit and check over it to make sure there's few mistakes
as possible. Don't entirely clean it up though, the editors have to have something to do! XD

5. Keed it short and sweet.
I'm not saying 2-3 sentences, but I don't want a full page either. Try to keep it around 5-8 sentences, give
or take a few extra.

6. Send it to an editor.
This is really a mandatory thing, since the editors get it no matter what, but go ahead and let them double
check it, just in case you missed anything.

7. Take one last quick look.
Make sure you don't want to change anything before you send it in, cause I update it as soon as I get the story
and the only changes I do are the ones when I see a mistake.

8. Have fun with this!
You don't have to be dead serious, we're having a good time doing this and we want you to, too! So enjoy your time
but remember, it's gotta be in on time!
