Fan Fiction Academy

I'm opening mine when Wolf tells me the e-mails of my pupils... lol.

kk, well can't wait...

I'd be able to tell you a lot faster if you'd come on YIM once in a while. But that's off topic. On topic... I'll be starting the classes soon.

Ohhhhhh, you thought I was on THERE? Lol! No, I can't get on any Messenger systems at the moment. I meant e-mailing me the e-mails lol.

That's so lame, honestly. And I've sent them, so you can start instructing newbies now.

Well you might think about adding a class about editing your own or someone else's work. One of the most important aspects or writing (spelled right that time XD) is knowing wether or not what you wrote should be kept, piched, or re-worked.

You shouldn't really be editing someone else's work. If you do that, and post it as your own, you are breaking the law and can be pwned. I think everyone knows better than to do that.

Unless you are 'hired' as a writer. Take Megaman: The Untold story for instance.

But regardless, they should know how to think critically about their work, while not being critical or their work. If you don't know what that means, tell me and I'll elaborate.

There's a fine line there, and they should be aware of it, and know when and when not to cross it.

You want to teach this thing, Giga? You obviously know so much more than the teachers, so maybe we should let you teach. How about that?

You know, I was thinking right along those lines myself! And I was surprised to not see a '[/sarcasim]' thing there! lol

If you'll notice, I wasn't saying that you were doing something wrong, I was saying you weren't doing something. And becides, how can I think I know more if I havn't seen what you know?

I left the [/sarcasm] tag out because I thought it was obvious I was being sarcastic. But since this seems to be your area of expertise, you can teach it. Saves me and Prof Hol a job, anyway.

Ok, bring em on! What are their E-mail adresses?

You'll need to find out who wants to study under you, first. If you check the posts on the first page, you'll probably find a few email addresses in there. You can contact them yourself and find out who wants to study under you.

Look BW, I don't want to steal your class or your self-appointed job. I was tring to HELP when I said stuff about editing, and then you come in and try to shoot me down. But being able to edit is important, and saying 'Thanks, that'll be added to our line-up' would've been beter than "Well how about YOU take over?" I have a lot of experience with writing, and wanted to help, not to take over.

Now I'm not chickening out or anything, but if I'm going to teach I want to work WITH you and Holly not AGAINST you.

Calm down. I said you can help. Just ask around, see who wants to study under you, and I'll add it to the class list.

Ok, then I'll just wait untill they get here. I can guarantee that ScreenCheat2 will want to take the class though...

Screen looks up right away.
"Did someone say my name?"

Yup! BW is letting me teach a class about editing. I figured you'd want to join, right?

Sure, sure. Why not? I don't have anything better to do this month. I might as well spend it learning something outside of school.

He's letting you teach a WHAT? Oh God, n00bs teaching fanfic classes... can I sharpen the pitchforks yet? ^_^
