I am writing this yaoi/slash story, with made up charactes and everything and someone online is helping me too. But does anyone have any advice on what should be on the story? I have the plot which I will post later since I do not have much time to be on. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

Two peices of advice;
One, have a spell checker handy and once you fininsh a chaper; save it, wait a week or so and then read it again. You'll be amazed at what errors you will catch. A beta reader is handy too.
Two, when you are having difficulty getting an idea onto paper, imagine that you are verbaly telling someone the story (Usualy I talk to myself and I sound all like a bad campfire storyteller sweatdrop ) and that should help.

Heh, thanks! I havent written the next chapter in ages. I (hopefully) will be able to put it here when I feel everything is in place (in the s tory I mean). and if iti is not too much trouble, ask for help here.

It is also very helpful to go over it all in your mind whenever you have the time, revising and rethinking it before you put it all onto paper. I am working on a slash story of my own and whenever my mind is not preoccupied with work or schoolwork, I think about it for days before actually typing it up. And like OtakuJeannie said, betareaders are a total blessing. I'm lucky enough to have one!
