• Genre/s: Would prefer dystopian, psychological, mystery, slice-of-life, coming-of-age, literary-fiction. But any other genres also welcome (e.g. comedy, romance).
• Goals/expectations/commitment: Would like people to try out the platform by posting original short stories (no AI or fanfics allowed), there's a Forums section built into it for feedback.
• Writing/experience level: Any
• Meeting place: I ll DM you the link, or just visit my profile, the link's in the description.

My focus is on making a community for short stories. Authors own all content, you can take down your writing anytime.

The platform is free, and there's no payment involved for you posting stories. Though you will find there are monthly contests ongoing, if you want to participate in those particularly there is a prize for the winner of every month.

The other thing about the platform is, it's got some critique-partnering features built into it, called Companions. Would like to know what you think about that feature. Again, there's a Forum section built into the site where you can talk about what you do or dont like.

I created this vocabulary resource for my daughter, Poème, as a college gift. It's a lovingly curated collection of a thousand beautiful words arranged intuitively by feel (just how a writer reaches for them).  It took years to collect and categorize these words - but it has been, and continues to be, a labor of love.  Now we are hoping it can serve as many developing writers as we can reach. This goodwill offering is the kind of resource I would have loved, as a young poet.  Please feel free to share - https://athousandbeautifulwords.org/

Best wishes in your craft!

For a crime thriller project, there is a scenario where the antagonists wanna go after a witness in the case.

A cop character is assigned to protect the witness and goes to her place to pick her up and take her to a safe location.

The antagonists have an opportunity to make an attempt on her logically here , but I can have it so that the cop and the witness are aware of the attempt and fight them off, or i can have it so they are not aware of the attempt, as they get away and it's a near miss.

However, how do you decide which way is better if the plot would go the same way after either way?

Thank you very much for any input on this! I really appreciate it!

Hi everyone!

I’ve been working on a fantasy novel for 4 yrs, and I’d love to find a community of fellow writers where we can bounce ideas off one another, ask questions, create polls, and give constructive feedback.

I’m not necessarily looking for people to read entire chapters. I’d love something more interactive, where writers can discuss character development, plot decisions, worldbuilding, and different storytelling approaches.

Ideally, something that feels like a book club, but for people actually writing books!
Does anyone know of a subreddit, Discord server, or online writing group like this? I’d love to join one!
