Brand Spanking New (Sort of) Writer's Forum (Unmoderated)
April 4, 2018 at 2:12 pm
So, years ago, my favorite place to hang out on the Internet was an unmoderated forum that was ostensibly for writers, but just attracted anyone who liked a sort of Wild West atmosphere. We decided to recreate that (myself and a bunch of other forum refugees who will be joining in the next few days). I figured I'd extend an invitation to you folks. Whether you write or not, you're welcome. It's in its early stages, so don't expect a lot of conversation for now.

Joined! I love that nobody had my name yet, so I didn’t have to be creative. Is it weird that I’m excited to be one of the first? Years from now I’ll get to show off.

I might join.
I was part of an E-zine website/forum years ago where I posted my writing. It might actually help me to be part of a writing community again, to get my creative juices flowing more frequently.

I'm reminded of a scene from Blackadder 2, involving an arrow through Baldric's willy.

Ivy and Lut, we'll be happy to have you. Expect anything and everything there. One of my favorite guys is always writing romance. He's hilarious.
Jack, I repped you over there. Do you want me to create a poetry subforum? I completely spaced on that category.

Yes, please! I’d love that. I’m an unschooled writer and would love to learn stuff. Woot woot!

I'm considering it, although, to be honest, it's been a while since I finished a short story.
Comparing the Universal Oneness of All Life to Yo Mama since 2010.
I was born with the gift of laughter and a sense the world is mad.

Gah, I have to fix that. I'm activating you now.

Really, the last forum was a lot of shooting the shit, and we sometimes motivated each other with challenges. You don't have to be writing to chat about it. There's also a reading forum.
I don't know how active it will get. We'll just have to wait and see.

Is there a place for tips in there? Like how to copyright your shit and other questions like that? A place where the most experienced writers can answer questions, if they’re up for it maybe.
