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.

Yes, that scene with Bilbo…so scary. Arguably, though, it actually magnifies the power of Sauron (or maybe the ring) by showing how much of a hold the ring can have on people’s hearts.

haha! Daw, thanks! ^_^ I was there when the great pineapple-on-pizza war began and have held my solid opinion on the matter. Ironically enough, my family went out for pizza tonight and my traitor of a sister looked me straight in the eyes and ordered pineapple’s as a topping XD She’s a riot!

So, the story behind my username is…[Read more]

I’m Grace, and as for how I’m doing… life is pretty busy, especially in the summer when I have a lot of volunteering/camps to be involved in. I thought I would have more time to write, but I’m afraid not.

What kind of things do you write?

Honestly, reading over your post, I was thinking “Don’t we pretty much already do that?”

I think that there could definitely be some other activities though– nothing too grand. Maybe a semi-monthly “get together” in each guild where we can just check up on each other and talk about life,…[Read more]

It seems like a good idea, but @ethryndal is right that the novelty would likely wear off pretty soon. It probably wouldn’t up my involvement either. I tend to ask my writing questions on YWW just because I know people there more and have no idea if anyone would answer my questions on here.

As you’ve noticed, activity has been pretty low here. Same with the other guilds.

That’s fine if everyone’s busy, but if it’s just because the guilds weren’t attractive enough…

Well, we should do something about that then.

After talking it over with some of the other SE staff. We have an idea. This isn’t a premade…[Read more]

It’s rough, but it’s down. Took a few turns I wasn’t planning for, but I think it’s pretty close. What do y’all think?

I’m really excited about this new prompt war because I think it’ll be a great learning experience and result in some wonderful submissions.

Our goal is to write a story where we bring out the beauty of something ordinary in the middle of a very dramatic setting.

Unfortunately, I’ll be out of state during much of this,…[Read more]

This week, Jane, Faith, and I (Jane was the main one) worked on putting together a brief overview of the differences between traditional and self-publishing. I know a lot of you are curious about it, so check it out. 😀
