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.

lmao imagine thinking complaining about one of the only mainstream depictions of a man becoming less sexist is “liberal”.
no, this is very fair to complain about, not for Nickelodeon fan brain reasons but because it’s an example of the continued whitewashing and commodification of TV and video media as a whole. Another step towards the deep, nihilistic void of consumer slop.
The inevitable result of this is what UlyssesT didn’t want, the reason we attack and deride treats in the first place. We shit on the consumer treats because they’re written and created as meaningless and trite commodities, not because we don’t care about art or media
Arguing about the true meaning of UlyssesT Thought is a bit I never thought I'd live to see.
it wouldn't be communism if we didn't
UlyssesT was 70% bad, 30% good
Made fun of LessWrong, so that bumps him up to the 99th percentile of goodness
Counterpoint: ThoughtSlime made fun of LessWrong and they suck, so really not that high of a bar to cross
how does ThoughtSlime suck
Can be a bit of a lib, and I just personally don't care for their content
but we're on Hexbear...
