Fiction- Literature in the form of prose, especially short stories and novels, that describes imaginary events and people (Wikipedia).
> Story - A narrative, either true or fictitious, in prose or verse, designed to interest, a muse, or instruct the hearer or reader; tale. (Dictionary.com) > Novel - A fictitious prose narrative of considerable length and complexity, potraying characters and usually presenting a sequential organization of action and scenes. (Dictiornary.com) Lets just jump from the complicated definitions above and just remember that normal fics are the majority of fics you can find anywhere. People often use this as the most 'normal-ist' things in world of writing, lot of people love this style, authors can improve their own style and people can find the style that they like. There are authors that lean toward more on the monolog of the characters, of their internal feelings, of their observation and how their eyes see the world. In the other hand, there are author who can bring real live conversation to share the word, the feeling by just typing what the character said, dialog. (Aku bingung sama kata dialog di sini?) There are no strings that limit this style and there's always a room for improvement for everyone. This style is used for many things because how efficient this style to express so many unspoken words. |
exampleHis name is Kai. Code Name AGENT88.
He's around my height, the same age, yet he has darker skin. It's looks healtier compared to my pale ones. It shows how he likes to do outdoor things. Not that I don't, it's just in my gen. I had a combat with him once. I won. He lost. He had been wanting rematch ever since and I never declined. He finally won just couple of weeks ago. I used to be alone all this time, but having Kai following me around, wanting to learn more from me who has more experiences than him, it's like having a puppy. Not a cute one. An annoying one. Yet that smile he wore when he beat me made my heart skipped a bit. It's not love. Or so I think. Yet it becomes love in the end. Sehun lets out a deep sigh when he sees Jongin bouncing on his feet while talking with Chanyeol and Kris. No, AGENT61 and AGENT00. They are both his senior agents, both taught Sehun, yet Jongin's tutor was Kris. Sehun bet Jongin was asking about those two agents' last mission. Or any other topics because Jongin adored the two. Crossed that, Jongin adored anyone. Jongin was a quick learner and everyone complimented him, talking about his brain, his quick hands, his patience, his endurance and everything they could compliment on. They never said how soft Jongin was, or how careless he was. Seniors never told Juniors their weaknesess. They let juniors realized it themselves. Even if it almost killed them. Just like how Sehun got admitted to hospital for three months for full recovery, the accident that made him stopped being a field agent. |
This round, both X90 and X99 has decided to step over the boundary of normalities and gave the unusual side to step up in the same place as the normal style fiction :>

Some of famous humor fics are Text fic. From the name, you may already know the drill.
It's full of text, a full dialog but with characters' name before their line to help readers know who was talking and who was replying. This kind of fics are really enjoyable for groups of people, if you found the beauty on it, it will give you more <3 |

Similiar to Text Fic, but in here, you can explain the action that people do.
It's basically writing in script style. |
exampleACT ONE, SCENE THREE
SEOUL. RED FORCE’S MAIN BASE IN SOUTH KOREA. [FLASHBACK-1] SEHUN, KYUNGSOO and MINSEOK have entered the building from the east, already knocking twelve guards on their way. Now they hide behind barrels in one of the rooms, planning to take down another twelve. MINSEOK(whispering): “Agent ninety-four, what do you think we should do? You just finished your training not too long ago.” SEHUN: “We can go to the control room but we will meet another six guards or maybe more. JUNMYEON(hesitating): “Our bullets will not enough if there are missing shots.” Counting the possibilities, SEHUN nods. SEHUN: “I will protect you. Bring only one gun with you and gave me the rest, I’m the shooter here, I will protect you guys from the back. Whatever happens, keep going.” JUMNYEON and MINSEOK as the computer genius gave their other gun to SEHUN. Leaving them with only one gun for each. They run from their hiding place, guns in hands. Nearing the control room, back-up guards appear behind them, shooting wild bullets. SEHUN(shouting): “GO!” JUNMYEON and MINSEOK run, leaving SEHUN behind. SEHUN runs left and hide behind walls, each hand holding gun, shooting the guards back every now and then. Four guns, two already empty, two only have half bullets left. Five men still left for SEHUN to deal with. SEHUN come out from the wall only to get shot in his left leg when he succeeds to takes three men down. SEHUN(shouting): “AH! Shit...” SEHUN fall to the floor, trying to steady himself. MINSEOK and JUNMYEON come back in the right time, shooting the rest of guards, and helping SEHUN to get out from the buildings even with bloody legs. |

Light novel style is where you can insert graphics inside your fic - whether from the start, in the middle, or even at the end of the fics. Usually the graphics you use represent the scene(s) from the fic.
The graphics can be arts, edits, mood boards or anything! You can insert as many graphic as you want to, just make sure to reach the minimum word count for this round~ |
exampleReminicing his past, Sehun saw himself in Kai. Careless. Too idiotic to realize that sacrificing himself sometimes aren’t good at all.
He sighs, hoping Kai is really fine like what he told Sehun. It’s not like he cares to the point he rush all the reports so he could go and just saw Kai himself. … Yup, he didn’t rush anything, its just his enthusiasm that come periodically that helped him to finish all the twenty five pages full of recoding, foot tage, algorithms, binary code, chronologies and tables all in just one hour. And its not like he is running now, to the hospital where certain someone got hospitalized. Running in the hospital with security following him with their eyes aren't good at all, but at least it’s kind of got pay more than enough when he found Kai.

This style of fic is a bit similar with normal fic, but in this category, author uses songs as their main idea of the story.
In every sentences that the author write down, it will be the explanations/meanings from the lines of the song they use - what's the current situation, how things escalated etc. The point is to make the story matches with the song. |
example [Trigger: mention of suicide][Trigger: Mention of suicide]
MARTIN SMITH – TOMORROW’S WEATHER (내일의 날씨) MAGIC SCHOOL OST Here’s the weather report for tomorrow The weather will be very nice tomorrow So you don’t need your umbrella If only his work was easy, normal, just like any other people. His worries would be something simple like this in the morning, aside from weather, maybe he would be thinking of homeworks, or projects he needed to finish on deadline, maybe missing few hours on sleep and forgetting to eat. The truth was, despite all things he learned, all the trainings, learning how to control your feelings, being objective in certain time, problem solving for urgent or danger situations, it would never prevented the unpredictable things that would happen, which happened in several missions he finished. He was helped by his seniors and his juniors, there were few easy times when he needed to work alone and all of them were the easy things normal people found hard. What normal people found easy was hard for him, such as falling in love. If it rains, with the excuse of a small umbrella I’ll stick close to you If it snows, with the excuse of your frozen hands I’ll hold your hand Sehun tilted his head, staring into the sky slowly turning from sky blue, to orange-ish, purplish and pinkish combination. He liked to do this before, just staring into the changing colors of sky after or before trainings. It calmed him, letting all his muscles relax for a few minutes and just let normal thoughts came inside his head. Because only in that time did Sehun could think of Jongin. Jongin who had been annoying since the first time they met. A type that he would always hate yet at the same he didn't realize he fell in love with. Jongin with his childish smile or whiny tones or clingy arms whenever they were together. Sehun knew it wasn't special, knew that Jongin did it to everyone who he felt close with but sometimes, at rare times like this Sehun hoped, he hoped, that maybe, just maybe Jongin think of him as a special person too. If there’s a lot of wind I’ll smooth down your tangled hair If it’s a foggy day I’ll like it cuz everything else but you will be covered Sehun scoffed listening to the song, such a cheesy song for normal people who would feel happy when they listened to it. Sehun could only smile bitterly, imagining a day that would never come, a day where maybe he could have a normal date with Jongin, not on a mission, or undercover. He would love to eat with Jongin, watching a movie, cuddling with Jongin, doing every normal couples do with each other. Even if I’m walking in the rain, even if the sky is dark When I think of you, the sun rises in my heart I’m not worried about any kind of day (cuz) Even when tomorrow comes, I will love you Smiling to himself, Sehun felt stupid. He had been doing this for a few times, thinking of Jongin when he had a free time, which was not a very good decision. Useless. When you’re walking in the rain, I’ll be your umbrella I’ll be standing there, in all your days Just like now He was thankful though, even from behind the desk, he could see Jongin, hear him, knew that he was safe, that he was the one who was guiding Jongin through all obstacles. Even not beside him, Sehun was there, on his head, on his ear. But not on his heart. If you sleep a lot at night I wanna look at you sleeping from by your side If you sleep a lot in the morning I wanna wake you up every day Shutting his eyes, Sehun chuckled. Folding his legs and hugging them, he felt his eyes prickled. When I get closer to your house I’m gonna tell you my confession that I worked on last night When your face gets closer I might forget everything and just kiss you If his life was normal, maybe Sehun could do that. Going to Jongin's place, confessing to him, in a normal way. Even if I’m walking in the rain, even if the sky is dark When I think of you, the sun rises in my heart I’m not worried about any kind of day (cuz) Even when tomorrow comes, I will love you It was all a lie. Lies. It wasn't sun that rose in his heart. Instead he was falling into darkness. Into those ugly feelings where there was only greed, self-hate, hateness towards everyone, his condition, and what he was currently. If only he was brave enough. If only he could think of anything, something, for when they weren't agents anymore, if only that day would arrive. Time passes so quickly, the seasons pass again The weather always changes but My feelings for you are always the same Just like how I can’t imagine a day without the sun But maybe, just maybe, later would be different. He could fell out of love. Jongin might found someone. Jongin wouldn't be there anymore. 'He' wouldn't be there anymore. One day, one of them could die, and looking for their positions currently, the possibilites of Jongin to die on mission was higher than Sehun from behind the desk. Even if I’m walking in the rain, even if the sky is dark When I think of you, the sun rises in my heart I’m not worried about any kind of day (cuz) Even when tomorrow comes, I will love you Or Sehun could stop all of that. He could make a choice. Running Away. Resigning. Killing himself. When you’re walking in the rain, I’ll be your umbrella I’ll be standing there, in all your days Just like now Or should he waited and be patient until he could be Jongin's umbrella? |
