Daeus Lamb started the topic Introducing GROUPS in the forum Announcements 6 years, 3 months ago

Hey SE people!

We’ve launched a cool new feature on the forum called groups.

You can find them in the nav bar like so:

Groups are hubs for writers to gather around something they share in common. They include a Facebook-like feed and most of them also include their own forums.

So far there are three types of groups:

Violet replied to the topic Word war #6 in the forum Word Wars 6 years, 7 months ago

I saw that no Rillumen members had responded yet so I thought I’d go ahead and tag y’all just in case anyone missed it.

I’ve spent moke time baking so far this week than writing.¯_(ツ)_/¯ I will definitely try to wring a couple of hundred words out of tonight though. Does anyone have a word goal for this week?…[Read more]

Daeus Lamb started the topic Dear Rillumen in the forum Announcements 6 years, 7 months ago

Hello peeps,

I guess I can’t be sure, but I assume Brandon has said goodbye to you? Well, not bye, but that he’s stepped down from guildmastering due to an overwhelming work load.

I wanted to step in on his behalf to let you know about the future of the guilds.

Many other among the guildmasters noticed that the job is mentally taxing and that…[Read more]

@brie-donning

Hey, Brie, quick question. I saw your map and I think it is so neat! Did you make it actually on World Anvil? I mentioned that I wanted to look into this site on a different thread, but someone said that you have to use preexisting maps and that Word Anvil is just for pinning sites and adding notes. I wasn’t sure so I figured I…[Read more]

@brie-donning

Sounds like you’ve got quite an interesting setup. I am not sure if this is completely applicable but I live in a multiracial society where people tend to conduct themselves professionally in a Western secular manner but may adhere to cultural and religious traditions at home. Here are my thoughts:

Okay, guys! Time for a discussion!

Recently, I’ve been juggling a novella challenge and the 100 for 100 challenge. I kind of left the novella challenge by the wayside, but not before writing around 23,000 words for one draft and 4-5 for another in a different pov. I also thought this would be a good chance to try my hand at first person, since my…[Read more]

Hi, I know I’m really late to this, but I do have one thing to say.

As one of the youngest people on here I am also one of the youngest readers. I love reading, and one of my favorite genres to both read and write is realistic fiction. But, now when I find a realistic fiction book I have to check when it was written. Six new realistic fiction…[Read more]
