can you guys give me tips on how to make a good story? and where do i start?

You don't.


Fan fiction writes you.

1. Always use clichés
2. Exposition! If you want to advance the plot, don’t bother wasting time with character development, interior dialogue, or actually writing those pesky action scenes. Just have someone show up out of the blue and explain everything in detail. Don’t bother to create an actual character or anything. All Ms. or Mr. Exposition needs to do is pop in, say their piece and get out.
3. Romance
4. Plotting, who needs it. Structuring a story so that it has a beginning, middle and end is just so old fashioned. Don't worry about resolving the main conflict or wrapping up any loose ends. Start to write, keep going until you get bored, then quit.
5. Series If one story is good, than 25 are better. You don’t have to go to the trouble of thinking up a new plot for each installment. Simply change the location and the minor character’s names and have them repeat the action over and over and over again. This saves both time and effort and doesn't strain the readers' imagination.
6. Throw any and all crossovers in, ignore the genres for best crossovers.
7. Make sure you make the Mary Sue of the original source material is worst then usual
8. Profit

It depends. What do you want to write about? Like, a certain series or a shipping or?

Ask for advice on a board that isn't meant for being stupid.

Well you need an idea for a story first. That generally helps.

• make sure all the characters are out of character
  
• don't research anything. if you think your facts on how something works sounds right, that's good enough
  
• don't bother with grammar. maybe even use script format, everyone loves reading that
  
• have random words or even sentences in japanese for no reason
  
• for your summary, don't even try. don't forget to put "i suck at summaries"
  
• have really bizarre metaphors for everything, especially for your awkwardly written sex scenes
  

Don't forget the sex scene

For the best advice, you might want to go to the fanfiction section, we can help you more there.

For a start, what do you plan to write about?

In all honesty, the best advice I can give you (that wouldn't apply to any other area of fiction) is to be creative, but also make it believable. Don't write something that could never happen in-universe. Make it relative.

Don't listen to Big Green and Windumup. That's all of the advice I can give you right now.

this is good, you even got the comparison to an animal in there.

Make your characters anthropomorphic.
