1: Oh dear god. Everyone keeps hating on gore. Yes, I agree senseless gore is boring and doesn't belong in a story, but at the same time, it's not actually that bad. It's only bad if it's shoved in there when not needed. Sometimes, a story needs gore.

2: This doesn't even need to be mentioned.

3: Some of the best ideas are those who add twists onto popular things, so therefore I disagree with this point.

4: Others have said enough on this topic besides me.

5: This rule is a micropasta in and out of itself, because I cannot believe and am slightly afraid you said that and that you're spreading out all these other rules that make no sense. To say only professionals can do micropastas is absolutely blind.

6: Nope.

7: You have to write "in an order" no matter what. It doesn't matter if you're literally throwing words all over the place and then combined them into an actual story. It is literally impossible not to write in an order. Here, this is an order: Early ending, middle middle, late ending, early beginning, early middle, late beginning, middle end, middle beginning, later middle. It looks absolutely insane because it is, but it's still technically an order.

8: Admittedly, I actually agree with this one.

9: The worst thing? I'd say it's "not listening to criticism" that's the worst thing, not posting up something immediately. Plus, if it's something like a Micropasta, it only takes thirty seconds to proofread, and you can only screw up 300- words so much...

10: Considering the no-micro and no-epic rules, coupled with no religion and no gore, I doubt this will make it easier and easier without also making it harder and harder at the same time.
