There's this very amazing Anti-Guide about how NOT to write, and I have found it very helpful with my writing! You should all check it out, and maybe it will help you with any problems you might be having with your stories, or will at least provide something amusing for you to read!

The Anti-Guide

Ebil, that is the pimpest guide ever...but I'm not sure how anyone will every find the time to read all 1330 pgs!!!!
My favorite from the first page: "Don't forget, the best heroes and heroines are the ones who are only fifteen and yet can obviously beat anyone older than they are because all fifteen-year-olds know best. Every fifteen-year-old is the best at everything and is never wrong."
God that always pisses me off!!! My sister writes like that and my husband used to (thank god he's grown up!) Don't even get me started on the main characters in Anime. (I love these shows, but why are the best people always freaking kids!!! Makes no sense!)

I know! I love the Anti-Guide.
My all-time favorite is this (from page 3152):
I am The Compendium
.N.o.i.r.
... Don't forget your hero is a master of all forms of weaponry and martial arts while the Villains henchmen went to the imperial school marksmanship and couldn't hit the side of the death star at 5 yards.

They also guard hallways by standing in the middle of the hallway and facing one direction. Apparently, they assume that the other half of the hallway isn't important, or they were only paid to guard half a hallway. Either way, this is regulation rules in hallway guarding.

Freaking amazing, maybe tomorrow, instead of studying for midterms like I should do, I will read the Anit-Guide!
