ATTENTION:


Membership is NOT automatically accepted.


Please read the :star:submission rules:star: fully for instructions on how to join.

Seriously, if you do not THOROUGHLY READ THE RULES before pressing that "Join Our Group" button, YOUR MEMBERSHIP REQUEST WILL BE DENIED.

We really hate denying people, but we, the founders, will no longer waste our time holding everyone's hand on this matter. For the love of sweet Gaia, this is a fan-fic group dedicated to reading, and READING THE RULES should be NO EXCEPTION!

THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH FOR YOUR COOPERATION AND COMPLIANCE!

:iconcloudheartsitplz::iconsaysplz:And happy reading, everyone!




This is a group dedicated to Final Fantasy VII literature of most kinds*. Whether it be haiku, drabbles, or epic multi-chapter stories, as long as it's Final Fantasy VII, it belongs here.

Sadly, sometimes literature is overlooked here on deviantART, and there are many wonderful works of literary art floating about, so our goal here is to bring to you – whether you're a member or a watcher – a comprehensive collection of these works.

All submissions will be reviewed by staff for basic structure, proper grammar, punctuation and spelling. No one is perfect (Aerith's famous “This guy are sick” come to mind?), and a literary work will not be declined for the occasional human error, but will be declined if it lacks some of the basic fundamentals of writing.



:spotlight-right:We do have a specific requirement for submissions, so please see the submission rules for more information. If you do not have the requirement in your submission, it will be declined.:spotlight-left:

Cloud x Tifa 37th Heaven Bar and Orphanage, An Hour Before the Party
Marlene went and put the remaining glasses in the sink to be washed, Denzel was also helping her by cleaning the bar tables.  The air was mixed with the regular alcohol that the bar permeated as well the sweet smell of candy, sweet candy and chocolate.  Valentine's Day was in the air, and the holiday was made apparent even in the town of Edge.  The whole town was covered in the many shades of pink and red, and the decorations that could be seen in every street and shop numbered in the thousands.  There was also a party being held in the town square once curfew started.  It was a city sanctioned event so everyone was invited to go, and everyone seemed that was as madly in love with someone was gonna be there. And to the two children tending to the bar there was one person they knew who was extremely excited.

The Shelter

Purple, deep blue and a smoldering crimson stained the partially beclouded sky as twilight deepened. This particular evening was rather chilly, when Cloud sped through the gloomy city on his trusted motorcycle, finally on his way home after an entire day of running errands for others all over the city. He could barely wait to return; all he wanted was a nice, soothing shower, dinner, and a good night's rest; to lie in bed right next to his girlfriend and forget all about today.

Sadly, he couldn't finish that thought. He felt his vehicle slow down rapidly; it ran low on fuel.

"Hey, Cloud, watch over Sephiroth for me?"

Summary:  Chapter One of the re-telling of Final Fantasy VII with a female Cloud.  The early chapters are a bit heavy in dependence on the game and even borrow the dialog all too often, though I've tried to pare the quotes down a bit.  It *will* loosen up after there are more party members.

No One Cares About Your StoryGOOD NEWS: This is perfectly normal!
I can't remember the source, but a few years ago I read this famous author's account of how it felt to have his first book come out, and he mentioned buying a copy himself because he was afraid no one would take an interest. Now this is a guy who managed to get not only an agency but a publisher (which is a whole pile of people who were like yesplz), and he's still afraid readers won't care. I was like, 'whoa mind blown.'
But anyway, the fact is that we are all strangers on the Internet and, by default, there is no reason for you to read my stuff or vice-versa. If you went and stood in Times Square with copies of your latest story, how many people would give you more than a passing glance? And how many of those people would get to the end of your work, and how many of those would offer critical feedback?
And, if you were one of the passersby, whom would you stop for?
Okay, I'm done scaring the shi

On making characters lovable, in your story and online

It's every writer's nightmare: your characters, after all the things you've put them through and all the months or years they've inhabited your head, have been eagerly displayed to the public and received an unenthusiastic response. Your audience has not been enchanted. The Art Block Banisher
Do you find yourself staring like a zombie at a blank piece of paper on your desk? Do you whip your pencil in a circle to draw a head, erase it, draw it again, and still find yourself dissatisfied and uninspired? Do you long to draw your characters in some crazy or adorable situation but lack the ability to come up with an idea?

Never fear! The Art Block Banisher is here!

This is a list of possible scenarios you can evilly dump your favorite characters into, whether they belong to you or someone else. So think about a few favorite characters, pull out a pencil and paper, and let's go!

Basics
Before I start writing, I like to have some idea of where I'm starting, where I'm going, and how I'm going to end up there. Let's say that I want to write a comedy about an author who suddenly changes places with her Mary Sue. I usually jot down some basic ideas:

Characters:
Sarah, the author: ~13 years old, average-looking, glasses, rather tall and gangly
Ellemere, the Mary Sue: ~16 years old, long flowing hair, violet eyes, etc.
Forrest (Ellemere's love interest) : ~18, stereotypical pretty boy who is too dark and broody to make a good love interest

Writing Tips - Organisation
Writing Without Confusing Yourself (Or Your Readers)

Writing is a very personal, individual undertaking. Everybody approaches the activity a bit differently from the next guy. Some people can come up with concept, plot, characters, and everything else and just sit down and write. Others need to take time to figure out what's going on; what's going to happen in the story, and how it all fits together. Others still will find themselves getting stuck somewhere along the middle, losing track of everything or changing an idea mid-way through, or never know how to end. These are the people for whom this has been put together. Those of you who can Writing Tips - Description
Description: Balancing Too Much and Not Enough

There’s an old adage about writing that says, “show, don’t tell.” But what does that actually mean? Surely, we’re not expected to illustrate our stories, are we? Christ, I hope not. Some of mine are rather long.

No. What that means is that you should use your words to paint a visual picture for the reader. “Talking heads” are both boring and confusing, and should generally be avoided. If you’re unfamiliar with the term, “talking heads” refers to the phenomenon where all, or most of story is carried out through the characters’ dialogue. You

Hello.

Huge delay in response.

The best thing to do is try to keep the characters in character. Crack is fun too, but you have to keep everyone consistent and then it will roll.

Read a few of our journals with this groups for grammar tips and such, because that will help make it more readable.

I am hoping to put more journals in the group as we go to help aspiring writers ... after all, we have to start somewhere.
