To add on to what Zepekinio said, I've heard it said that perfectionism is creativity's worst enemy. Don't worry about making a perfect Side Story. If there's such a thing then it certainly wasn't one that I wrote. Just finsihing a story is an accomplishment and something to be proud of, even if the end product isn't exactly what you had in mind. My advice would be to start with something small and simple to start out, figure out the process and the engine and then post it, get some feedback and then move on to trying bigger things.

And if it doesn't seem perfect to you, don't worry about it. None of us are writing masterpieces here; we're writing highly evolved fanfiction for a monster porn game. Just have fun with it! And if you need any other help or advice with figuring the engine out, me and the other folks in the Side Stories community are more than happy to help.
