So, I’ve decided to write the worst possible story in order to illustrate how not to write fan fiction. This story is fondly named THE ADVENTURES OF JAKE MEERKAT AND LEXY GASFART or, if you’re joining us from Mibba where I have posted it as a legit story to try and get feedback, The Adventures of Jack Barakat and Alex Gaskarth. Personally, I prefer the original title, but that’s just me.

Hey there. 

If you're reading this, you're a member of one of my comms. Which is neat! So to keep everything as clutter-free as possible, I've created a photo tutorial on how to do LJ-cuts so that cuts are accessible to everyone! How nifty and fantastic is that? It seems to me that a lot of people are only using the Rich Text editor, so I've even gone so far as to screenshot the process step-by-step so that everyone can follow along.

Here is a quick copy/paste textbox for those who like to simply fill in the blanks. This is for the HTML EDITOR only. It will not work in Rich Text.

<b>Title:</b> <br /><b>Author:</b> <lj user="your username here"> <br /><b>Pairing:</b> <br /><b>Rating:</b> <br /><b>Warnings:</b> <br /><b>Summary:</b> <br /><b>Notes:</b> <br /><br> <br><br />Any other links you have go here. <a href="http://yourlinkhere.com">Name of link</a><br /> <lj-cut>CHAPTER TEXT GOES HERE.</lj-cut>

To make a masterpost, simply make an entry in your own journal and copy and paste the links to all your chapters into the entry like so:

<a href="http://yourlinkhere.com" >Name of chapter</a><br /> <a href="http://yourlinkhere.com">Name of chapter</a><br /> <a href="http://yourlinkhere.com">Name of chapter</a><br /> <a href="http://your link here.com">Name of chapter</a><br />

And now, without further ado... the photo tutorial!

This is by no means a definitive how-to guide on writing. Everyone has their own writing style and I don't want anyone else to pick up on any of my bad habits, but I thought I would share with you the journey I take when I write stuff. Here we go. You are about to find links to a lot of very old, very bad writing. You've been warned. Feel free to laugh at how terrible I was as a wee little child.
