Welcome to c/writing!
This is a space for all kinds of discussion referring to writing. This could include the structure and style found in different types of writing, authors worth talking about, different genres, trends, etc.
This is also a space for users who wish to share their own writing for feedback. This could look like independently posting excerpts of poems/prose/plays or it could be replying to one of the writing prompt threads. Brainstorming and worldbuilding ideas are welcome too!
Ideally, this will be a community where we work together to become better writers and appreciators of writing in all its forms.
All that said, please note that Code of Conduct still applies here. Please apply content warnings where applicable and spoiler material that might be inappropriate.

One of the trends of enshittification of writing in Hollywood recently has been this idea that people like characters at the end of their arcs better, so on a reboot/adaptation/whatever they should just start at that point of the character growth rather than go through it on screen.
I still can't tell if it's because of board rooms demanding it or writers being allergic to writing characters with bad traits.
