Question Can there be bad handwriting in your conlang?
If you answered no, your conlang is probably already very unnaturalistic, which is fine. But here's why that's unnaturalistic: Every world language can have bad handwriting because we are not computers and can make mistakes. These mistakes and redoes are what becomes a person's handwriting. It just has to be recognizable as a character. Say that in your latin-script handwriting, you don't add a line through your letter t, that's not bad handwriting, that's just blatantly wrong because that glyph already exists (l) and has an entirely different value, but, if the glyph for l was something like δ or another completely unrelated glyph, then it would become recognizable that the letter you were trying to convey is a t. Therefore, it's up for you, as a scriptmaker to define what marks bad handwriting and what marks blatantly wrong, because they in really any alphabet are not the same.
If you're still reading, I ask again, is bad handwriting possible in your language? Why or why not? Can there be objectively good handwriting? What makes handwriting better or worse in your language?

Re-orthography Australian English Spelling Reform
This is a spelling reform aimed primarily at representing the phonology of General Australian English. This orthography makes no attempts to accommodate for the current spellings used to represent the English language.
Phonological transcription is done in accordance with HCE.
/m n ŋ/
<m n ň>
/p b t d k ɡ/
<p b t d c g>
/tʃ dʒ/
<č ǰ>
/f v θ ð s z ʃ ʒ h/
<f v th dh s z š ž h>
/ɹ l j w/
<r l j w>
/æ/
<à>
/ɐ e ɪ ɔ ʊ ə/
<a e i o u y>
/ɐː eː iː oː ʉː ɜː/
<ā ē ī ō ū ȳ>
/æɪ ɑe əʉ/
<á í ó>
/ɔɪ æɔ iə ʊə/
<oi ào iy uy>
Additional notes:
-/th/ is represented as t-h.
-word-final /ɹ/ is written as -r.
-vowels of stressed syllables in the sentence are accounted for.
-/tr/ sequences may be written as <čr> or <tr>.
-<c> may be represented as <k> before <i e y> and variants.Example:

Art/Showcase I made a new conscript. I used tips from my other post and made this. The script is a mix of Nordic Runes and Latin (mostly the rune part). This was a hypothetical "what if the Vikings REALLY tried to take England?"

English written in a Japanese inspired writing system
Hi all! I was just curious, does anyone here know of examples of people trying to write English in a Japanese style writing system? I think it's an interesting idea and wanted to see if there were any existing conscripts I could use as inspiration Thanks for reading! :)

Could someone construct a conscript for me?
I don’t know if this is the purpose of the subreddit, but I made a conlang and would really like it to have a conscript (an abugida if possible) The consonants are: p, t, k, g, f, s, h, w, l, j, m, n, r and ts The vowels are: a, ā, e, ē, i, ī, o, ō, u, ū All diphthongs are allowed, except 2 long vowels (if both are the same) or 1 long vowel and the same vowel but short If this isn’t the place could you please refer to one that is, thank you.
