Long ago, the great leaders of the Minefic and Minefic Legacy era, Farteh16 and sc1020, brought community to our small group of Minecraft writers. However, the story lists of these eras have long since fallen into disrepair. It has been my goal to resurrect the Minefic Legacy story list so that future dwellers of the Literature Subsection may enjoy it. With the powers of BBCode and external backups, hopefully this thread will not suffer the fate of its predecessors.
If you would like your story to be added to the list, please submit the application below. Stories of all lengths and writers of all skill levels are welcome! Just be sure to follow the rules below the application.

Hello, my fellow demented writers! Today, I bring you a bit of help for those of you new to writing fanfictions. This is divided up into sections to help you easily write your fan fiction:
All of us will write in different ways. How we write our story could impact what people say about your fan fiction.
Humorous ones, while still entertaining, are more of short stories and don't get much feedback anyways.
Action-filled ones are the most common. These normally involve a very frightful villain and characters fighting their way to this villain. These tend to be very long.
Simple Stories are just what they are. They're just works of fiction involving Minecraft but don't fit the Action-filled theme.
Now, let's move onto actually starting:
While most people like to write a story about Steve going on a quest to kill the Ender Dragon, it gets dull when every story involves it. Same with a character having to fight Herobrine. But, think about ways to morph these villains into something that no one has seen before.
For example, what if the Ender Dragon was good? Of course, making Steve the villain would be more of just switching roles. So I would suggest making a new villain instead of recycling Herobrine or just using Steve.
Having the Wither as the villain is also becoming quite popular. I, myself, have done it. Of course, you have to think of a creative way to implement it in? Think of it as if you were the Wither. Why are you evil? Who is your main target? Answering questions like that will easily help you write those kinds of stories.
The most surefire way to go could be making up your own villain. Names are easy yet hard. You can probably swipe some words from Latin such as mal (meaning bad) or maybe using som if your villain involves dreams. Naming your hero is very easy. Just use the first name you can come up with. Jack, Lucy, Harry, Ann, etc. It's pretty easy.
When creating your own villain, make sure they have a purpose. How is their evil plan different from others? Conquering the world is basically their goal, but how does he/she plan on reaching it? Will they kill anyone who doesn't obey them? Will he annihilate Notch? There are all kinds of alternatives. Think of one, just any, that you haven't thought of before and use it.
That's pretty much all I have to say for this section, Let's move onto your Prologue and Epilogue:
Prologues and Epilogues are very useful when setting up your story. They can basically be as long as you want, but they should be at least 3 paragraphs.
A prologue is a chapter of sorts used to set up the story. Normally, the prologue doesn't take place from the hero's perspective unless it shows them in a near-death situation that happens near the end. However, it always involves something in the past.
An epilogue is like a prologue, but it takes place after the events of the story. It could be what happens after the hero defeats the villain or it could hint at a sequel (from a new villain's perspective). Epilogues are NOT when the hero defeats the villain, however. That should be somewhere in the last few chapters.
That about wraps up this section.
Well, actually making the chapters isn't the hard part. It's when you release them, that's when it's hard. Doing a chapter a week is a way to prevent you from stressing yourself to write more than you can handle and also prevents you from writing too much, too fast (in fact, this results in shorter chapters after a while).
If it's still too much for you, increase it to at least one every week, but not on a set day. If this still doesn't work, maybe do a chapter every two weeks. Whatever help you, the writer. I think you pretty much know everything you need to. Happy writing!
In order to celebrate this momentous occasion, I have thoroughly googled an appropriate response. As such, here is the selected witticism in the form of a "meme".
The Meme is now concluded. You may scroll up.

Whatever I just said, I didn't mean any offense. Unless we're fighting, in which case I probably did.
If I said something was a joke when it didn't seem like one, I'm making an excuse to avoid an argument I know is coming. Instead of telling me how not funny I am and how it didn't seem like a joke at all, just go along with it. Because flame wars suck and nobody wants to be a part of one.

Just found this while digging around in the literature section. People need to know about this, having a working minefic type thread here is important. I am also quite sure that this one won't break or go inactive, at least not any time soon. This one should replace the first legacy since that one is quite broken right now.
Long ago, the great leaders of the Minefic and Minefic Legacy era, Farteh16 and sc1020, brought community to our small group of Minecraft writers. However, the story lists of these eras have long since fallen into disrepair. It has been my goal to resurrect the Minefic Legacy story list so that future dwellers of the Literature Subsection may enjoy it. With the powers of BBCode and external backups, hopefully this thread will not suffer the fate of its predecessors.
If you would like your story to be added to the list, please submit the application below. Stories of all lengths and writers of all skill levels are welcome! Just be sure to follow the rules below the application.

Description: A strange new threat, who has only identified himself as Rift, has risen. He has the strange power to bend different realities of Minecraft together, opening gateways between them and destroying many parts of both worlds. As he lives in his own reality, no one has been able to find him.
As if by fate, many heroes who have saved the world in their realities have fallen into a portal that was accidentally created that has sent them to Rift's Dimension. As no one knows where anything is located in here, their only choice is to work together. Together they may be able to defeat Rift and find out who he really is.
But is the truth such a good thing?

Title: Fall and a Rise: A Vanillacraft Tale

In the aftermath of a grand battle for control of the Nether, the Gaian King Pie Peter is slain by Brother Komplex, leaving only young Kay Mandy of the Mining district as his heir. Kay desires revenge against the Brotherhood with all his heart. However, when the scheming Emperor Dominus attempts to overthrow the Administrator Void, everything changes.
Before long, an inter-Craft conflict is in the making and an enigmatic warlord known as The Overlord seems to be the only one who understands what the hell is going on. Read along as Kay and the Gaians cope with loss and growth, trust and betrayal, and struggle to balance their lust for revenge on the Brotherhood with their shared desire to defend the integrity of the Craft from their common enemy.
Based on true events. However there is a hell of a lot of embellishing in the form of dialogue, characters, steampunk elements, historical elements, movie elements, locations and events. But all of the brutality the fourth wall underwent and is presently suing me for is recorded down to a T. Plus the running gags all conveniently happened. Seriously though this is as close as it comes to historical fiction in minecraft!

Story Writing Help by Farteh16 (for more like this, see the Minefic Writing Help and Guides)
Humorous ones, while still entertaining, are more of short stories and don't get much feedback anyways.
Action-filled ones are the most common. These normally involve a very frightful villain and characters fighting their way to this villain. These tend to be very long.
Simple Stories are just what they are. They're just works of fiction involving Minecraft but don't fit the Action-filled theme.
Now, let's move onto actually starting:
For example, what if the Ender Dragon was good? Of course, making Steve the villain would be more of just switching roles. So I would suggest making a new villain instead of recycling Herobrine or just using Steve.
Having the Wither as the villain is also becoming quite popular. I, myself, have done it. Of course, you have to think of a creative way to implement it in? Think of it as if you were the Wither. Why are you evil? Who is your main target? Answering questions like that will easily help you write those kinds of stories.
The most surefire way to go could be making up your own villain. Names are easy yet hard. You can probably swipe some words from Latin such as mal (meaning bad) or maybe using som if your villain involves dreams. Naming your hero is very easy. Just use the first name you can come up with. Jack, Lucy, Harry, Ann, etc. It's pretty easy.
When creating your own villain, make sure they have a purpose. How is their evil plan different from others? Conquering the world is basically their goal, but how does he/she plan on reaching it? Will they kill anyone who doesn't obey them? Will he annihilate Notch? There are all kinds of alternatives. Think of one, just any, that you haven't thought of before and use it.
That's pretty much all I have to say for this section, Let's move onto your Prologue and Epilogue:
A prologue is a chapter of sorts used to set up the story. Normally, the prologue doesn't take place from the hero's perspective unless it shows them in a near-death situation that happens near the end. However, it always involves something in the past.
An epilogue is like a prologue, but it takes place after the events of the story. It could be what happens after the hero defeats the villain or it could hint at a sequel (from a new villain's perspective). Epilogues are NOT when the hero defeats the villain, however. That should be somewhere in the last few chapters.
That about wraps up this section.
If it's still too much for you, increase it to at least one every week, but not on a set day. If this still doesn't work, maybe do a chapter every two weeks. Whatever help you, the writer. I think you pretty much know everything you need to. Happy writing!
In order to celebrate this momentous occasion, I have thoroughly googled an appropriate response. As such, here is the selected witticism in the form of a "meme".
The Meme is now concluded. You may scroll up.

Insulting people for their beliefs is not a good way of convincing them to adopt yours.
Fiction is just a game of make-believe recorded on paper or film. But that's what makes it so great.

Whatever I just said, I didn't mean any offense. Unless we're fighting, in which case I probably did.
If I said something was a joke when it didn't seem like one, I'm making an excuse to avoid an argument I know is coming. Instead of telling me how not funny I am and how it didn't seem like a joke at all, just go along with it. Because flame wars suck and nobody wants to be a part of one.

Just found this while digging around in the literature section. People need to know about this, having a working minefic type thread here is important. I am also quite sure that this one won't break or go inactive, at least not any time soon. This one should replace the first legacy since that one is quite broken right now.
(How did I never see this?)
Can confirm; the OP post is not broken. At least, not in Firefox.
