Oronguin-sensei

Possibly you have read or seen one of my current works and say that they are bad; I don't deny it; they are total garbage. Now I don't have that motivation; that spark of flame died along with the time they deleted my FanFiction account along with everyone's work, but I will share all my experience with you so that you can put it into practice. It is of no use to me to have that knowledge that I will never put into practice again. 

This video covers everything from the basics to the most difficult and some tips. You can say that it is a remake.

 

Let's start with the basics of writing a Naruto fanfic. I had mentioned this in my first video on how to write a fic.

I'm going to do these steps quickly.

The first and most important thing of all is to know the Naruto universe.

Be familiar with the characters, villages, and world laws (world rules).

Study the arcs of each episode. It is also important to know about filler, and this is to understand character development.

Choosing an Approach: Decide whether you will use canon characters or create original characters (OC) for short, or as they are called, bosses. 

Define the genre and how you are going to carry out your fic (action, romance, comedy, lemon, American love, etc.).

The next thing is to have a plot development: Create an attractive conflict for the characters. Later I will show you a diagram and leave you a link to download it; I don't want to bore you.

Building characters, make sure interactions are realistic and coherent; we can't have two-month-old Naruto awaken shadow-level power and have a harem of only female Otsukis; that is strange and very xd.

Dialogue: Keep the authentic voice of the characters, although it is always good to change it up; for example, the Hinata I'm using is not the Canon; she is a very cold yandere Hinata. 

Use simple, understandable dialogue to advance the plot and develop characters, settings, tell the appearance of the macaques that are participating, etc.

Vaguely describes the environments: It is not a web novel; everything already has its form, and it is not necessary for you to write a scenario as if we had never seen it.

 

Now we are going to go to a slightly more advanced level in the creation of the fic.

 

First, I'll put you on the flashbacks. That's right, I didn't forget about them. They are the most important thing when we want to write our fic in more depth, and we use them to delve deeper into the history of the characters. This can help reveal motivations and backgrounds without interrupting the flow of the narrative. In addition, it can also be used to finish the chapter if you ran out of ideas. (Wink wink).

 

Secondly, I'm going to give you this, and if you think I was wrong, let me know. Incorporation of original jutsus. Create your own jutsus for original characters (bosses) or to give a new twist to existing ones, for example, Naruto with the storm element or Naruto with the wolf contract, and one point that I want to emphasize in my head is that you always have to make sure they make sense within Naruto's universe, that it looks like how he got them, and that it seems reasonable... We can make Naruto have the power of a god combined with the ten thousand-meter poya sealed inside, not his ass, of mental space. But we need to make sure how he got it, and if you see that, you can't manage to show how. So, this fic automatically becomes a humorous fic or troll fic. An example of these fics is the QHPS. Itachi sold tamales, things like that that don't explain how he got such a development and are more for fun in a sense of humor. Besides, there is no difficulty in writing something like that. I recommend you write some to relieve stress; it's fun. I wrote ones about QHPS; Naruto was black and had a Pokegirl harem; if you want to read it, let me know. Now back to the topic. (Serious mode activated).

 

Third, I'm going to give you something that many readers hate me for and will hate you to death.

Use cliffhangers; in other words, always end chapters with open questions or tense situations to keep readers hooked and wanting more. Believe me, with this you can even earn money. You know how to end it—end it in the best part. Hahahaha, you're going to see the reaction of the readers. Varies. The vast majority get angry and curse us as demons or that we make them suffer; others thank you for the chapter and look forward to it. Hahaha, I really love this part. Be careful. I recommend that you do not abuse this type because then you will end up losing the audience, and, believe me, it will be very difficult to get it back.

 

Let's go with the fourth, and this is also very important to obtain a five-star quality fic, and it is the change of perspective. Experiment with narrating from different points of view (for example, a villain or a supporting character). This can offer new perspectives and enrich the plot even more, and it also helps you lengthen the fic, as you know many web novel authors use it. I mostly see this trick in Korean novels. They narrate a lot from the perspective of an extra character without much importance who is only telling you how the protagonist saw meaningless things, but yes. It takes up to ten damn chapters just so that from the perspective of the extra, I can tell you how I watch the protagonist smile at him, and that's it. Sometimes we swallow the filling without realizing it, and this is more common for those who like to listen to Korean, Chinese, or Japanese novels. Hahahaha, personally, I don't put that in my novels unless it's very important and results in the words being reduced and not being very long, and by the way. Don't call Chinese fic novels; that's a shame for those of us who really make novels. Confusing a fic with a novel, my God. Normally I'm not the one to tell you what to do, but since you are now my viewer and watching this video, I have an obligation to educate you. 

 

Let's go to point number five, and, although this point is more about preferences, you will see that position five depends a lot on who writes the fic. 

References from some anime or cartoon, as a mention. In most of my fics, I always make references to different animes. In the case of Naruto Storm, I made several references and honorable mentions to Bleach with the Bankai. To do this, we must include subtle references to real-world culture or other anime or manga that readers may recognize. This adds a fun touch and may attract more readers who are interested in both worlds, believe me. This is well received and adds even more charm.

 

The next point number six goes hand in hand with the descriptions and scriptures, but I decided to bring it up later; I did this so that you don't get saturated with information. This point refers to you using sensory descriptions. Use descriptions that involve the five senses. This will make your scenes more vivid and attractive to readers. When I write fics, I like to narrate it with what they do, etc. An example is this: "Knock, knock, the rhythmic sounds of something hitting the door are heard." Things like that seem simple, but this makes the fic very realistic and level up. When I was at my best, I wrote with details that even seemed like novels.

 

Let's go to point seven. 

This is something that we are going to have to do, whether it is intentional or because it appears out of nowhere. And it is the development of relationships. Whether we wanted to or not, we always use less common relationships (such as friendship between secondary characters) to give more depth and freshness to your interactions. This comes out unconsciously to all of us. Whether when our protagonist interacts with a dog, a cat, a bird, etc., we are developing friendships.

 

Another point that goes with point three, which deals with cliffhangers, is building tension.

 

Add moments of tension before big battles or revelations. This may be through misunderstandings, secrets, or internal conflicts. Another personal rule: if there is tension, then there must be humor and light moments; integrate moments of humor or comic situations. This can balance out the more serious parts of your story and make the characters feel more real. Like in my fics or in this video where I add humorous things so that it doesn't sound too robotic... Anything can be done. You know the best part of the video. We are just beginning at the tip of the iceberg. 

 

Now I'm going to give you some examples. Since I'm using Loquendo's voice, I took the trouble to first mention the points highlighted above, and I want you to understand what a fic with these tips is like in practice and not in theory. Now use headphones and concentrate. Later, I will leave you a concept map to help you more easily in writing fics. 

 

Title: "The Legacy of a Hokage"

Practice fic begins.

At the dawn of a new day in Konoha, Naruto Uzumaki observed the horizon from the top of the Hokage monument. His heart was pounding, not only because he was the Seventh Hokage, but because of the weight of the responsibility he carried.

(Character development and conflicts)

"Will I make it?" he murmured, remembering the struggles he had faced. The echo of his thoughts mixed with the cool breeze coming from the forest. He knew that peace was never permanent; there were always hidden threats.

Suddenly, a sound broke his dream. A kunai flew near his head, and he turned quickly; his ninja instinct kicked in. (tension construction)

"Sasuke, is that you?" he asked, trying to hide his surprise. The shadow of his friend approached with a mocking smile.

"You're always so easy to scare, Naruto." (Authentic dialogue)

Naruto smiled despite the situation. “I’m not scared, just... prepared.

(Humor and light moments)

Sasuke raised an eyebrow, clearly skeptical. "Ready, says the loudest ninja in the village."

They both laughed. That light moment reminded them that, despite the shadows of the past, there was always room for friendship. (Relationship development)

Suddenly, the air changed. A dark figure appeared, enveloping the summit with palpable tension. Naruto and Sasuke looked at each other. (tension construction)

"Who is it?" Naruto muttered, nervousness returning.

The figure slowly approached, revealing a familiar face, but one filled with scars and an aura of vengeance. "I'm back, and this time, I won't escape. (Cliffhanger)

Now I am going to mention the highlights. Continue paying attention:

Character development and conflicts: Naruto's concern for his role as Hokage is shown, establishing an internal conflict.

Tension Building: The appearance of the kunai and the arrival of the dark figure create an atmosphere of expectation.

Authentic Dialogue: The exchange between Naruto and Sasuke reflects their personalities and strengthens their friendship.

Humor and light moments: The joke about being "the loudest ninja" relieves tension and adds a touch of camaraderie.

Relationship Development: The connection between Naruto and Sasuke deepens through their friendship and shared experiences.

Cliffhanger: The reveal of the dark figure leaves readers wanting to know more about what happens next. That's right, this is what I mean. We should always leave the chapter on a cliffhanger or something so that the readers will curse you, and when they curse you for making them suffer, you know you are on the right path. 

 

We're not done yet; there are more things to show you. Before continuing, I want to add something: As you know, the quality of the videos is not very good. Among other things, if you have a spare dollar and want to support me, remember that the super chat and channel membership are activated. This is not mandatory, but I feel the need to remind you: If you want to support me, I'm buying some components to build a PC and improve editing. We continue.

 

Now, if you've made it this far, I'm going to give you the definitive guideline in case you are one of the writers who has a lot of problems starting the fic and doesn't know how to start writing.

I am going to recommend this start, which is a free start. From this, you can mold like clay and adapt it to your ideas.

Startup example:

"It was a sunny day in Konoha, and Naruto was looking at the horizon from the top of the Hokage Monument. However, a feeling of loneliness invaded him; his heart was being corrupted slowly but surely. This is a start for the fics of Naruto. Be careful; this non-negative beginning cannot be used for crossover, reincarnation, reacting, or seeing universe fics, and it is not good for time travel fics. This beginning works for normal Naruto fics. Crossovers are fics that, in my personal opinion, fall into the range of advanced fics along with reaction fics, and this is due more than anything because it is a pain to have to write the reactions of each character in an orderly and realistic manner, so first learn to write normal fics, and later you will be able to write reactions, crossovers, and the most difficult fics, in my opinion, are the reincarnations, believe it or not, with just one mistake in some chapter that if you give Anko a power or immortality, the fic automatically becomes trash and all that hard work is thrown away. 

These fics are some of the highest ranks; remaining at an expert level, they are stepping on the step of a generic web novel. If you want, comment me and I'll make you a video talking about these levels of fanfiction. It helps you see what level you are at and if you are ready to start writing your own original web novel. 

Well, give me an example, and I put myself in a high advanced rank, only stepping on the highest level of advanced, and I still can't enter the lowest level of expert. Or what do you think? What rank will you put me in? Comment.

Now, if you look at the screen, you will see a diagram that I made for you to fill out and not get lost. Before, there was always one, and I supported myself with them. The download link will be in the description or in the posted comment, so you can download and fill it out, and I will also leave it with some tools that are good if you want to upload fics to YouTube.

Look carefully at the outline of a mind map. Now that you saw it, I had to cut it, but when you download it, it will be complete. I recommend that you print it on a typewriter sheet and fill it with your fiction.

 

This is one of the things that very few people tell you or talk about. It's about narrative cameras.

Changing the "camera" of the narrative to focus on a character's internal emotions rather than external actions. For example, describe how a character feels during a fight instead of just focusing on the action. This can make readers connect more deeply with the characters. I'll give you some simple examples.

 

My name is Kofa. I never expected time travel to be real. Here I am, inside a shonen anime.

Example two: Uzumaki Naruto, a rather extravagant and bastard boy who likes to make jokes with a very ugly orange monkey.

 

Example three: I have to move forward with the other two guys. A reincarnated Kofa heads with Sakura and Naruto to the rooftop.

These are quick examples, and these are more detailed examples; pay attention. I do this because there are different people who learn differently, some with simple things and others need more detailed things. Now I will show you the most detailed. 

First-person narrator.

Example: "I felt the weight of responsibility on my shoulders. Being Hokage was not just a dream; it was a burden I had to carry.

 

Third-person narrator.

Example: "Naruto watched the horizon, worried about what was to come." Would he be able to protect his friends once again?

 

Omniscient narrator: what is it? It allows the narrator to know the thoughts and feelings of all the characters, providing a broader vision of the story.

Example: "As Naruto struggled with his decision, Sakura felt a knot in her stomach, fearing what might happen.

 

Dialogue is the engine of narrative. This focuses on the story through conversations between characters, letting the dialogue drive the plot and character development. An example would be: it begins with a crucial conversation between Naruto and Sasuke about their past, revealing tensions and emotions.

 

I use flashbacks; I don't think there's any need to explain this, but I'm going to do it anyway.

Example: "As he prepared for battle, Naruto remembered that time he had failed to save a friend, a wound that had not yet healed."

Multiple Perspective Narration This is one of my favorites. 

Example: A chapter from Naruto's perspective, followed by another from Sasuke's perspective, showing how they both see the same situation differently.

 

Now let's go with a Tom Riddle diary-type  style, hahahahaha. 

Example: "Dear Sasuke, today I felt that my dream of being Hokage is further away than ever."

 

Now one that most already know and is... Universe Crossover Narration

Example: Naruto and Sasuke meet characters from another anime, forming unexpected alliances. These are the most important ones. You know I did a little research about the different methods of narrating, and there are many. I only chose what I think are most used and go best with a fanfic, although believe me, if I had included all of them and with an example it would be hell. Now it's fucking 2:24 am. I'll give you the screenshot. As you saw in the screenshot, I'm doing it with the damn cell phone peanut. 

Now I'm going to give you some exercises so that you can improve your writing speed, I mean. So you can write a chapter faster, and your mind is as fast as your hands.

My record for writing a thousand words was in ten minutes. Although I had several spelling and grammar mistakes, I managed to complete it. 

Now pay attention; I will tell you the exercises.

Set a timer: Choose a time interval (for example, 20-30 minutes) and set the timer. During this time, write without stopping. Don't worry about the quality; just focus on getting words out. 

Use the famous "blank words":

I mean, if you get stuck on an idea or a sentence, write something like “[describe this]” or “[dialogue here]” and keep writing. You can then return to those points to edit them later. What you are doing now is seeing how much you manage to write in that time that you put on the timer. Obviously we're going to use a word counter to see how much you've written. This can motivate you to keep going and increase your pace and ultimately set writing goals: for example, 1,000 words a day. This helps you maintain momentum and make steady progress. Of course it does work. Don't forget that when you finish, go back and calmly edit it, improve the grammar and spelling, and rewrite everything now, looking at it without rushing.

Very good, if you finished the video. Congratulations on your writing. When you get all this going, you'll be a new guy. Believe me, you will improve a lot, and you yourself will notice the difference. Shit, I feel like one of those shitty generic commercials. Hahahahaha, I say goodbye, but first.

Remember that we are always learning; the possibilities are endless, and never stop learning.

 

Como obtener un contrato con Wattpad.

                                                 Como obtener un contrato con Wattpad.

Te voy a hablar sobre cómo obtener un contrato con Wattpad.

No solo te diré las cosas buenas, te diré las cosas malas y que pueden arruinarte.

Estuve buscando a varios autores contratados y ninguno aceptó una entrevista, lo más cercano que estuve fue con un autor nuevo que aún no tenía contrato, pero estaba en marcha y me comentó que le dieron una invitación por correo electrónico por x novela.

Ahora te diré lo malo de Wattpad y después lo bueno para firmar un contrato.

Una de las cosas más frustrantes que he experimentado es la posibilidad de que te roben tu obra en sitios públicos. En plataformas como Wattpad, es posible que alguien copie tu novela y la publique bajo su nombre. Hay muchos casos de autores nuevos que han sufrido robos de sus obras. En mi opinión, Wattpad es un lugar donde abundan los problemas de este tipo. No todos los usuarios son así, pero los más inmorales pueden robar tu trabajo.

¿Qué puedes hacer para proteger tus obras originales? Aquí te dejo algunas soluciones que encontré investigando toda la madrugada:

Pública solo borradores: Siempre publico solo borradores en sitios como Wattpad. De esta manera, si alguien roba tu trabajo, tendrás pruebas de que la versión original es tuya.

Registra tus obras: Considera registrar tus obras en una oficina de derechos de autor de tu país. Esto proporciona una protección legal adicional y puede ser útil en caso de disputas legales.

Utiliza Safe Creative: Safe Creative es una plataforma que permite registrar tus obras de manera gratuita y obtener un certificado de registro que puede servir como prueba de autoría.

Aprovecha las herramientas de Wattpad: Wattpad tiene sistemas para almacenar datos y fechas de publicación, lo que puede ayudarte a demostrar la autoría en caso de robo. Además, puedes enviar una solicitud de eliminación de DMCA si encuentras que tu obra ha sido copiada.

Mantén registros detallados: Guarda copias de tus borradores, correos electrónicos y cualquier otra comunicación relacionada con tu obra. Estos registros pueden ser útiles para demostrar la autoría.

Considera publicar en plataformas más seguras: Si Wattpad no te ofrece la seguridad que necesitas, podrías explorar otras plataformas que tengan mejores medidas de protección para los derechos de autor.

El costo está en aproximadamente 459 dólares.

Más adelante voy a mandarles un mensaje para ver si existe una posibilidad de que me convierta en patrocinador de su marca y me den códigos de descuento, aunque lo dudo, pero no pierdo nada intentándolo. Esto nos beneficia a todos nosotros al tener un precio más accesible para registrar nuestras obras.

Por lo que tengo entendido fue que supuestamente Wattpad toma muy en serio las infracciones a los derechos de autor y tiene políticas estrictas para manejar estos casos. Si encuentras que tu obra ha sido copiada, puedes reportarlo y Wattpad investigará y tomará las medidas necesarias.

Te mencioné el DMCA, pero ¿Qué es?. Te voy a dar un resumen rápido.

El DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) es una ley de derechos de autor de los Estados Unidos que fue promulgada en 1998. Su propósito principal es proteger los derechos de autor en el entorno digital, mayormente esto sí funcionan y están vigentes, existen varías licencias, si. Son licencias. Bueno te hablaré de ello en otro vídeo.

Ahora vamos a hablar por lo que vinimos y es obtener un contrato con Wattpad, generalmente necesitas ser parte de su programa Wattpad Stars o participar en Wattpad Paid Stories.

Una cosa importante y que veo que ningún autor te quiere decir, es que para obtener más posibilidades de lograr firmar un contrato exclusivo con wattpad y te den el privilegio de defenderte si alguna vez te roban una obra es tener al menos más de dos obras terminadas o en marcha, pero deben de superar las cincuenta mil palabras. Además eso es lo mínimo, tener dos obras es el requisito mínimo lo recomendable es tener publicado más de cuatro obras, obviamente debes de tener una calidad de escritura muy alta. No tanto a nivel experto, pero debe superar a la mayoría y ser ligeramente superior al promedio.

Vamos a meternos en los beneficios de estar registrados en esas dos páginas.

¿Qué son estas cosas y qué beneficios tiene?.

Te explicaré de manera rápida y entendible.

Wattpad Stars puede ofrecerte una serie de beneficios significativos que pueden ayudarte a avanzar en tu carrera como escritor y ser un autor. Aquí te dejo algunos de los principales beneficios que en mi opinión son una monada realmente buena. 

Oportunidades de monetización: Como Wattpad Star, puedes participar en el programa Wattpad Paid Stories, donde puedes ganar dinero directamente a través de la venta de tus historias.

Colaboraciones con marcas: Wattpad Stars tienen la oportunidad de trabajar con marcas reconocidas en campañas publicitarias y promociones. Esto no solo te proporciona ingresos adicionales, sino que también aumenta tu visibilidad y alcance, así es bebé. Realmente una monada ufff.

Apoyo editorial y marketing: Wattpad ofrece apoyo editorial y de marketing a sus Stars, ayudándote a mejorar la calidad de tus historias y a llegar a una audiencia más amplia que como todos sabemos más vistas igual a más dinero.

Adaptaciones a otros medios: Algunos Wattpad Stars han visto sus historias adaptadas a libros impresos, series de televisión o películas. Esto puede abrirte puertas a nuevas oportunidades en la industria del entretenimiento, realmente es mejor tener ayuda de Wattpad. Yo soy un autor independiente y creeme que es un dolor de culo tener que hacer todo sin ayuda, hacer la publicidad etc. 

Acceso a recursos exclusivos: Los Wattpad Stars tienen acceso a recursos y herramientas exclusivas que pueden ayudarte a mejorar tu escritura y a gestionar tu carrera, lo que me refiero es que ue tienen una pestaña web similar a YouTube donde puedes ver las ventas, visualizaciones entre otras cosas, además cuenta con cursos y guías para descargar o ver, lo malo. Todo está en inglés. 

Estos son los beneficios que más me llamaron la atención hay otros más, pero esos son sólo para agregarle más letras bonitas a la publicidad. Porque irmaõ ,seamos sinceros a quién diablos le interesa estar debatiendo con otros tipos sobre qué es mejor papel o electrónica. Eso ya es tonterías para hacerte creer que tiene muchos beneficios.

Todos los links de estas páginas te las dejo en la descripción para que te registres con tu correo electrónico de negocios, hay muchas más cosas, pero ya no los tocaré porque no son realmente importantes, son como te había mencionado para darle a los beneficios más letras y digas. Ostras Pedrín!!! Wattapd tiene cien beneficios. Etc, pero esos beneficios son sólo basura sin importancia que nunca vas a necesitar. Bueno me retiro, cualquier duda avísame y te contestaré.
