Some of the stories are really lame here are some tips that might actually compel people to read them:

1. have a point to the story a lot of stories are just "one time i was pkin then all of a sudden this boss came and i beat it up a lot ~the end~" make sure that your story has an actual story

2.dont write about things that actually happened they might be exiting to u but they bore most people, make a story that people want to keep reading with something they can relate to or a common fantasy that u know people will recognize

3.cursing is not needed most people use it because there story lacks excitement instead relate to what ur character is feeling or thinking using more detail then you think u even needed also use abbreviations as little as possible some people still dont know what they mean

4.some stories are long and some are short if you follow all the steps that are in this tip you should probably get to having to write a part 2 but if ur story is to short dont make it longer by adding unneeded info

5.use detail dont only follow the main character describe the setting or maybe what people outside the story are thinking example: from the gates of cronus you can see miles and when the army of madbulls was seen coming the city had enough time to prepare its defenses, however all who were outside at the time the approaching army was spotted were locked out and left on there own and ________(characters name here) happened to be one of those unlucky few. this story doesnt even introduce the character till the end of the introduction but what it does is give the setting and then places the character USE DETAIL (but not to much)

6.when characters are talking dont do this:

"what?"

" i said the gates are closing the guards most have spotted some kind of danger"

do this:

"what?" midknight said, not sure if his friend was joking or not

"i said the gates are closing there must be danger coming" said ~ArAgOrN~. and he began to run for the gates with midknightcobra not far behind.

i hope u can tell the difference between the 2.

7. proof read or else some words come out a little funny this also makes the story more flowing some mistakes are o.k. but just make sure that at LEAST its legible

8.the middle should not drone on avoid using: "and then" "like"(this can be used when comparing things example: the crash that sounded when the gates closed merely inches away from midknights face was almost LIKE 100 mages casting thunder at the exact same time and the ring afterward lasted at least 2 minuets.)

9.the end should be one of 2 things, maybe you are making a point or mabye just writing for fun. either way it should complete the story example: she had faced off against mad bulls an evil boss and weather that could have brought down even the mightiest hero��s and finally as soon as there was enough room for her as well as the other survives to enter she ran into the city only to pass out from exhaustion after 3 steps on the magnificent tiled ground... yah i know its not perfect but would you rather listen to that or to this: when she ran into the city she has so happy she fainted ~the~end~...

try to complete the story but still end in a way that makes the reader feel like what you told them really happened it could be ironic or a sad truth anything is possible but especially the end needs detail, MAKE THE READER REMEMBER THE STORY

10. the last hint is that you should have fun write about something that u have been thinking of, that would be cool, anything! in most cases if you enjoy what you are writing the reader enjoy reading and if u follow these steps than you should be a much better story teller than most people
