How does one start a story? Once upon a time...? No, that is used by everyone! A long, long time ago in a land far, far away...? No, why do all faery tales happen a long time ago anyways, what is so horrible about here and now? Besides wasn't a long time ago now to someone and far away here for someone? Like the main character for example! Let's not get into that, my head is already starting to spin... Alright, so let's just skip that part, who needs a intro anyways? I can do just fine without one. It will be better that way, I will just get into the story faster without making my readers fall asleep on their keyboards!1
Now, what to write about? Princess, Princes and Dragons? No, too used and not realistic enough! How about we make that idea more modern day? A pretty lady, her drunk of a husband and the dragon of a step-mother? No, way to depressing! Why don't I try to do something that no one has done before? Let's see what ideas has no one used... I know! A story about homicidal squirrel named Fluffy! Does that sound really bad to you too? That's what I thought... Okay then, next idea. How about a story about the adventures of a dust-bunny? No one has ever used that before. But most likely with good reason... Let's just skip to the end.2
How will I write this? The end? Well it is short, sweet, and it is also used by every author who thinks that their reader has a low enough I.Q score that they will not realize that when the text ends, that means that the story is over. Why don't we take a shot at old english then? Thee end? Same problem as the first except now I have offended every english speaking person in the room! So why don't I skip the end too? Break my pen in half, burn all my paper and take up playing the kazoo? Goddess, writing is harder than it seems!3
Author notes
I wrote this when i was having writers block. By the way, I tried to play the kazoo, I am worse at that than I am at writing!

Thee end.
This was way hot. Calculated and informed humor. Thee End reminded me of Shakespeare. It was a ramble like going into the reading of your mind as you put the paragraphs together. Funny, extremely so.

Very clever.

Very cleverly put together, short and straight to the point.
Well done and the best of luck.

there are deffinatly way to meny stories out there that have just the classic elements in them. i think there should be more attemts at fantasy then elvs and witches and dragons and knights.
