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.

I'm writing a currently genre ambiguous Sci-Fi/lovecraft/spaceopera/superhero novel that doesn't outright declare everyone is openly is Maoist/Anarchist/Stalinist/Etc., (the alien characters won't have human etymology for their ideologies) and maybe it's not actually all that political on the surface anyways, but any tips for slipping in vegan and leftist dog-whistles?

This doesn't exactly answer your question, but I met someone at a party (friend of a friend) and my dude immediately started talking about Brace Belden and then the GDR. so sometimes you just gotta go for it I guess.

At an old apartment I used to live at I saw a wifi network named, “let a hundred flowers bloom”

And after you let the flowers bloom you arrest the right-wingers who foolishly revealed themselves and sentence them to hard labor for 20 years

Oh Mao, you were such a clever bastard when you wanted to be
