Cheerilee finished reading the text, and facepalmed. "Rainbow Dash," she sighed. "Either this is intentionally bad, or you need serious help with character writing and grammar."

"What?" Rainbow Dash replied. "Nobody will want to read it if the protagonist isn't super awesome!"

"Well, who is this Tom person? Or this Jimmy person?" Cheerilee asked, confused. "They just appear out of nowhere!"

"Well, that's true," Rainbow admitted. "But my grammar isn't that bad!"

"Says the student who spelled 'bouyancy' at least 8 different ways in a single sentence," Mrs Harshvoice chimed in. "Be thankful I don't teach you English."

Rainbow Dash went red. "So, how do I fix it then?" she asked. Her face was serious.

"Well," Cheerilee said, "Start by asking whether your friends want to appear in it or not. Then work on a plot. The core story is good, but it needs fixing in order to be readable."

"And that means running it through spellcheck?" the prismatic haired girl suggested.

"More like a proofreader," Cheerilee sighed. "This reminds me of something a Canadian guy called PeterChimera sent me once, and that was absolutely atrocious."

"But worse than this, right?" Rainbow Dash asked desperately.

Cheerilee nodded. "Yes. A lot, lot worse than this. Let me demonstrate by finding the story in question for you and then..."

Author's Note

Well, this was a hard one to write. No, seriously, writing badly on purpose is actually incredibly difficult.

This is also my only story to come in at exactly 1,000 words.
