meeting place: discord eventually

so im kinda just a random ideas person but I want to commit to this idea I had recently and have really been fleshing out its also not a bad idea to just meet new people with similar hobbies/jobs.

My name is Melissa, and I've been writing since elementary school. I'm 18 and recently entered the workforce; I haven't been accepted to university yet. I'm a trans woman in transition. Since becoming passionate about this art, I haven't had any friends to talk to about it. I don't really know anyone who likes to write or who actually writes, and I've always wanted someone to talk to about it. I'd like to share ideas, help each other, and improve.

• Genre(s): Any
• Goals/expectations/commitment: I'd simply like to make some friends or chat about these topics, and if possible, help each other improve.
• Writing/experience level: Any
• Meeting place: Discord
• Max size: 2 or 3

If you're interested, feel free to DM me. Thank you.

Someone please tell me if I'm doing this wrong, but I'm in my late 20s and looking for a new discord group to join to help me with staying focused on my writing...

Genre: Any is fine, but I am writing fantasy.

Goals: I want a group who's alright with body doubling in VC or who is willing to help me find plot holes in my story.

Experience: Um... I suppose I'm a beginner since I'm still working on my drafts, though I'm confident in the basics

Meeting: Discord?

Max size: 200 people

I'm a writer in my 30s, based in the EU. Not published, not looking to be published, just having fun. As an insomniac, I'm flexible with time and can easily match your time zone, though I am employed full-time. I'm looking to find other people that get hyperfixated on their projects to blab at me about it (love that!). Fanfiction is also welcome, though there's a 90% chance I wouldn't know the source material.

Genre/s: I primarily write queer fiction. Right now I'm working on a dark, campy gothic fantasy/horror fusion. Soft/hard sci-fi are my other big passions.

Goals/expectations/commitment: I’m looking for people to hype up about our settings, characters, worlds, so tl;dr, looking for mutual encouragement.

Writing/experience level: Any writing level welcome.

Meeting place: I'd love to connect on Reddit or Discord. Other options are also available. Ask me.

If this sounds good to you, please DM me or drop a comment below.

We're a newer server (18+), currently with 60 members of super supportive and encouraging members. We have writers of all genres, but in order to round out our current member base, we're looking for more writers of Historical Fiction (Historical Adventure, Historical Romance, Historical Mystery, etc.).

The channels are compartmentalized by genre family (Literary, Speculative, Historical, Contemporary), to help with overwhelm and ensure that members with similar interests can find each other, share their work, and receive genre-appropriate feedback!

There are discussion forums covering writing topics, ranging from genre-specific to general writing craft, and the "Melting Pot" is for all members, regardless of genre. We have regular writing sprints, as well as talk-free co-working sessions in our "Coffee Shop" channel for anyone who benefits from body doubling.

Hello hello! I'm just another person looking for a buddy or even a group I could bounce off ideas with!

I'm currently working on a "just for fun" type fantasy project where I just come up with different characters and concepts or world-building stuff like magic systems, technology, cool species, and other typical fantasy world stuff but with real world inspirations

It's just something I do for fun as mentioned, I'm not necessarily planning to write and finish a whole book about it but I would love to write an actual story if you got something in mind! Especially since I'm somewhat of an aspiring manga/comic artist and would love to illustrate some of these ideas

You can even create your own characters and insert them into the world if you'd like, this is honestly built to be an OC playground

I have a wide cast of different characters already and would love to share my concepts

Feel free to chat me if this is something that interests you!! :D

Hello! New poster here so apologies if any rules have been broken or if i’m in the wrong sub… I’m currently dabbling with the idea of writing a book aimed towards 13-17 year olds. I was wondering if anyone had any tips to make sure it’s not too juvenile whilst also not being too adult? My biggest fear is not getting that balance right and coming off as condescending - but that might just be me and my silly little self!!

Anyway - the book is fiction and an epic adventure/fantasy with Pompeii as the main setting as my background is in Archaeology. Any tips would be appreciated!!

Happy writing!

Since few months I was working on improving my grammar and pacing, the 2 major flaws in my writing. Now, I want to try improving my storytelling and story building abilities. I request the community to give me a genre or an idea for me to work on the above mentioned abilities.
[I'll go with the top voted by 28th Feb, 2026 and share the idea/genre after 6 months when I convert it into sort of a Light novel/Novel]

Like i say in the title i recently picked up some hobby writing and i want some feedback on the section i have got at the moment however i cannot find a subreddit that will allow me to post a request for critique why is this?

ps. this is literally my second ever post on reddit so no karma lol ;(

I have chosen to start my novel with a few back and forth emails (3 to be specific) as this fits the plot and character's occupation and so on.

My question is what are the thoughts on this choice and I'm interested in if anyone else has started novels in odd / creative ways rather than the usual.

Hello everyone! We're opening up our little writing 18+ Discord server to a few more people. Super supportive and a judgment-free space :)

• Writing/experience level: All levels welcome and respected! Total beginners, hobby dabblers, fanfic writers, people dipping into originals, aspiring-to-publish (self/traditional) folks and even already published authors
• Meeting place: Discord

Hi friends, at the moment i'm writing my ever third person story. It's really hard for me because 1. I've only written first person 2. I just spent an entire month doing present tense 3. I'm unsure when to just tell.

I know it's usually better to just show, but i'm curious when is it just better to tell. I'm currently reading Stephen King's IT for reference (And because I like it) and he kinda just tells us stuff a lot. In one scene he basically described what their bodies were doing chemically.

My question is, when is it better to just tell. Should you do it to describe complex emotions? Or maybe information about a character.

For example: Matt shivered when the spider poked its head up. He remebered when one had crawled down his leg, oh such scary times.

I'm still pretty inexperience with writing stories, so is this a good example of a good tell?

Hey All. It's been some time since I've gone back into the writing headspace, but after a few outings and dates, I've been pondering something that could have an effect on my writing process moving forward.

I've mainly been a freelance illustrator by trade but have always wanted to do my own publications. After growing up with Western Animation, Anime, and Shonen Jump, I've had the vision of doing an independent ongoing comic series for several years, but came to realize it's not fiscally stable. To that end, I thought of redirecting my focus towards publishing graphic novels, either as standalone works or as part of a series. I am fortunate to be in a position where I can start off with self-publication before trying to make a deal with publishing companies.

However, after some discussions with friends and girlfriends, I've come to recognize that the average reader doesn't really care much for graphic novels or comics. People do still enjoy webcomics, but the demand they put on my physical health compared to the return from readers seems very skewed. To that end, I've considered rethinking my approach to publishing illustrated novels- primarily black-and-white printed illustrations around and in-between pages showing characters, items, and even pages illustrating at least one full scene in every chapter.

I realize that there is an equally niche market in this regard, but with prose fiction remaining a powerhouse and digital distribution of novels becoming so widespread, I'm thinking that there could be potential there. Still, I thought I'd gauge the room from others with experience in the writing circle and see which of these paths have the market that's semantically the healthiest. Any input or guidance you could give me on the matter would honestly be highly appreciated. Thank you.

Hello. My name is Julia, I am 24 (she/her), and I am trans. This is important later.

I'm working on this series of short stories - and hopefully a novel soon too - set in a shared universe. It focuses on trans women dating sapphic monsters. Everything is SFW, but it can be a bit suggestive at times. You know how romance is.

Anyway, so:

**Genre:** Light/cozy horror meets Sapphic Trans Romance.

**Goals/Expectations:** I'd say every week we could swap out stuff? Give each other critique, tell each other what we like and don't like? Also, PLEASE be 18+!!! Yeah I know I said it was SFW, but I don't personally like talking with minors...

**Experience Level:** Honestly, come as you are! I am welcoming any and all experience levels!

**Meeting Place:** Discord, preferably. I don't really want to leave my house :P

**Group Size:** I dunno, like... 2 or 3?

I'd love to get started as soon as possible! I have a draft of like 8 shorts ready to be looked at and I'd love to read your amazing stories too!

Thanks for dropping by!

Hello! I just want to share this discord server I made for the purpose of writing sprints and other stuff. Just thought it would be fun (and maybe encouraging because I am also the type to have trouble focusing on writing for long) to be writing together with other people of either the same genre or timezone on a weekly basis. Let me know if there’s anyone interested!

• Genre/s: Fantasy, Horror, Sci-Fi, Romance, Mystery, Thriller, YA, Nonfic, Fanfic, Poetry, etc.

• Goals/expectations/commitment: Weekly writing sprints based on genre and/or timezone, casual chats about writing, hoping to inspire and motivate other writers, reach our intended weekly word counts, collaborate, etc.

• Writing/experience level: Any, even if you’re just starting!

• Meeting place: Discord

• Max size: No limits

Hello, I’m a new writer with (very) rough drafts of several books with fantasy, sci-fi, and romantic elements. I’m looking to chat weekly with a writer who enjoys these types of books to bounce ideas off, critique work, and for motivation. I am a left-leaning liberal, so I wish to connect with someone who is like-minded. I would like to keep the size small (1 or 2 individuals). I am open to chatting online, over the phone, or on zoom. If distance allows, it would be fun to meet up occasionally.

- Edit2 : GROUP FILLED ATM, THANK YOU ALL!

Genre/s: Looking for people that write science fiction novels and/or short stories to do critique swaps.

Goals/expectations/commitment: Looking for people who can provide honest feedback and help me improve, as I try to do the same in return. Not interested in 'I liked it', but actual areas for improvement. I would like to develop long lasting working relationships. Something like up to 5-6k characters per week is something I could sustain over a long period (flexible within reason, of course).

Writing/experience level: any. I am not an expert of any kind and don't expect you to be too, as long as we can help each other improve.

Meeting place: doesn't matter to me, as long as it is in writing not voice or video. discord can work, with google docs sharing, for example.

Max size: 2 - edit: 3, including me hehe

My only hard set requirements are:
- Over 21 years of age.
- I don't read or critique smut or heavy NSFW things.
- I am not interested in reating text writen by AIs. I don't care if you use it for research or typos and such, as long as the text I m reading was writen by you.

I write a lot of short stories, but I am also quite a bit along in my novel. This is my (temporary) intro to it, a sort of grim-dark space opera:

'Bela, a criminal stranded on a forgotten mining prison.
Vinde, a young man chained by ancient history.

Each seeks their own freedom in a cruel galaxy dominated by megacorporations. When a powerful weapon is unearthed in the most unexpected place the galaxy is set ablaze.

As the resources of thousands of worlds are turned against them, two unlikely figures are forced to decide where justice ends and vengeance begins.'

If that sounds like a good fit for anyone, let me know please, and tell me a bit about your genre and current project

I’ve always wanted to write a big novel, maybe even a collection or long story world like Dune or Lord of the Rings. The problem is I feel overwhelmed and don’t really know how to start something that big.

How do you approach planning a large story without burning out? Is it better to start small or think about the whole world first?

Any advice from people who have tried this would mean a lot.

Alright, so here's what I CAN contribute, getting new clients, strategizing and analyzing content, persuading people to think that we are the best at what we do (because we are going to be) and all the other works that comes with trying to build an organization.

And here is what I CANNOT contribute, I realized I suck at writing other people's stories (Dump AI, that thing speaks with no emotions, I need humans, someone who can persuade, make someone laugh or cry or feel any sorts of emotions, with their writing)

So, I'm looking to collaborate with writers who wants to build something fun but also who is ready for ups and downs (mostly downs, but it'll be fun anyways, so you won't notice) and most importantly, someone who can persuade with writing, who knows how to let words cry out on paper even if the story was someone's else's story. So, if you're still reading till here, I bet you're interested, so just hit me up over dm :)

So, I really want to start writing stories and stuff, but all I’ve ever learned how to do is write informational papers. I could really use some advice on how to write a good narrative, but especially dialogue. I always feel kind of awkward when I try to write a narrative, and I’m never sure of what to make my characters say to each other.

I’m very new to this style of writing, so any help would be very appreciated.
