Anyone interested in helping me playtest a forum-based creative-writing RPG? sh.itjust.works

I made some prototype rules for this game, and the community I made for it is linked. Basically you have an "Editor" (Game Master/Dungeon Master) who guides the writers (players/characters) through creating a world and their characters, then regularly adds a chapter prompt that they have to write a chapter for their character for. It's not a long time commitment, I was thinking to playtest a story for maybe every other day or every two days for the shortest story structure (5 chapters). It's all designed to take place in one forum post, with top-level comments for OOC, world building, character creation, and the chapters. Also, if this does just turn into a freeform r/writewithme clone, my feelings won't be hurt; it will be cool to have helped create a community no matter what it looks like in the end.

A very concise book pixeldrain.com

We recently created a very tiny book on philosophy, possibly the **absolute smallest** of its kind. It's around a 5 minute read. Please don't mind the informal language, as the book was written like that to save space and for ease of reading. It's written in markdown, so you may want to convert it to html, but you can also open it on a text editor, although it won't look as flashy. Feedback would really be appreciated.

Writing very young audience books

My daughter has asked me to write a book targeting her age range, 7-10 years old. I've read a few chapter books with her and have an idea of the language level, but I'm finding it very challenging to keep an engaging story going with the constraints. Anyone know of any tips or guides out there worth looking at for helping set language goals in an early readers setting?

What's your current WIP about?

I'm currently trying to outline a Space Opera novel. This will be my 5th book; my other 4 were learning experiences, so I'll likely start over with a new pen name.

Hello world :)

I'm a reddit refugee, as I'm sure many will be in the coming days. A technical writer by trade and a smut writer historically, I'm currently working on an epic sci-fantasy romance series. I would love to nurture an active writing community in this new space! A few introductory thoughts: - As this instance is both English & French speaking, I'd rather not limit the community to English only. However, I don't speak French. If any French speaking writing enthusiasts are interested in helping moderate, I'd love to add you! (Presuming I can figure out how!) - Please comment with any suggestions for community engagement! I'm already hoping to list a daily or weekly writing prompt. - I didn't select NSFW for this community, but I write NSFW content, so I am certainly not against it. Thanks for reading, I hope to write to you soon! **Before technical writing, I worked for PR & Exec CS. Please excuse my enthusiasm, it was beaten into my personality much against my will!*
