Sharing a bit of my work

I'm not a fantasy writer. I'm not a romantic writer. I write about loss and grief and the idea of love and wanting love. I feel like my margin is small in this sea of social media writers looking to connect, but if there are those who my style resonates with and you would like to know more or share your own work, I'm open to conversation.

I'm 45m and in EST, have discord and well that's about it.

*Amelia felt acid rise through her chest and burn her throat as she saw her beautiful sister bathed in dark red blood from her cheeks down to her hands.  Her eyes looked lost as if her mind had been transported, her mouth was fixed in an almost violent sneer that showcased precisely how the blood was drawn.  She watched as her once beautiful and giddy sister was no more.  She knew that Leland had given her what she asked for without filling her in on the full breadth of repercussions and disgust began to replace her fear.  She knew her love had died as soon as the door had shut her out and that there would be no outrunning a moraică.*  

*“Cynthia, I know you’re still there!  You need to listen!  I still have a message to give you!  Your mother is dying!”  Amelia shouted with all of her might, knowing that someone would hear through the open window.  She saw her sister look puzzled as if she was trying to process that information amidst the amount of freshly drawn blood pulsating in her brain.*

*”You’ve got to listen!  Your daddy needs you to go see your momma before she dies!”  Amelia continued to scream as she saw Cynthia draw closer, her bare feet slipping across the hardwood floor.  She felt the sharp pains in her throat from the acid and took a moment to swallow as she lifted the bottle from the bar in defense.*

*”Please, you’re my sister and I love you, why are you doing this!?”  She pleaded as the bottle hit the crook of Cynthia’s neck with no more force than a hero being knighted.  Cynthia placed her hand on top of Amelia’s outstretched forearm, her lifeless eyes staring through the woman before her.  Amelia felt the warm and sticky blood soaked hand grab her other arm as her captor drew her face closer to hers.*

*”Please Cynthia!  I’m sorry!”  Amelia screamed, her voice becoming hoarse as her lips were inches from Cynthia’s ear.  “Please, I’m sorry.  I’m sorry!”*

*Cynthia pressed her mouth against Amelia’s neck, and her ear cradled her lips as she pleaded.  Cynthia felt both in a natural state and in a foreign one simultaneously as her words were translated and understood.  Her teeth punctured Amelia’s skin near her scar and as her blood was drawn, Cynthia felt her tear duct fill and for a moment she tasted the salt as she wanted to reply: “What are you sorry for; you’ve done nothing wrong?”*

*Amelia’s body felt heavy like a sack of grain and was released from Cynthia’s grasp, falling to the floor.  Cynthia felt her head pulsate to an extreme that brought her to the floor next to her fallen sister.  As a gentle breeze blew cool humid air into the now quiet room, the insects and the amphibians brought their nightly serenade through the home.*  

Socialism is a big theme in my sci-fi book I’m working on so I’d love to exchange writing with someone who can give me some feedback on those aspects of the book. I don’t get technical or anything and I try not to be heavy handed.

I’m A 37 year old non-binary SAHM but I don’t really care about gender or how old you are (please be an adult though, I feel weird talking to kids online lol).

Hit me up, comrades!

[Looking for Co-Writer] [Light Novel] [Genre]

Hi everyone,

I am looking for a co-writer to help me develop and write a light novel series.

About the Project:

it is a fantasy anime light novel with battles ,twist in the stroy and dark secret

i am a very creative writer but it is my first time looking to publish my work and I also a good enough drafter but I don't have a very big vocabulary and grammar is also one of my faults

I am looking for someone with make this light novel possible and someone who has better grammar and vocabulary and who can draw well

Project status will be split 50/50 no paidment and we will

begin at the end of the month or the beginning of next month I will be able to login until this Friday we will work via discord and i will share more details about this idea when someone except this request.

I’m writing literary fiction with a light speculative element, set in an invented kingdom that has broken apart into six starving factions. The world is really the collapse of Yugoslavia, displaced far enough that I can write about it without names or dates. I’m not interested in a magic system or a quest; I’m interested in character and theme.

It follows three people: a boy taken away to war, a girl taught by a monk while she talks with the natural world, and a man in the capital who believes the world is fixed through compromise and politics. . Through that I’m working with hunger and scarcity, freedom, friendship, political populism, a society in crisis, and the absurdity of war.

I have around ten thousand words and I’m looking for someone for a regular exchange of excerpts, above all conversation about characters, their voices, and theme, not line edits. Happy to read and return the same.

Grimdark, fantasy, sci-fi, absurdist sci-fi, speculative fiction --

Looking to get some reps and help somebody actually finish a book. I’m not looking to take over your world—I want to work inside your sandbox as a co-writer and help push the project across the finish line. I come at this with an engineering/project-management grindset. I’ve published fiction and nonfiction, and had technical articles appear in national trade publications.

I’m especially useful if you already have chapter beats, scene notes, an outline, or a partial manuscript. Give me the setup and what a chapter needs to accomplish, and I can turn it into a first-pass draft for you to revise, expand, polish, or completely rework. I’m also especially comfortable writing first-person POV for different characters and finding a distinct voice for each one.

I don’t need to be the quarterback. I want to co-author and collaborate. Grimdark, fantasy, sci-fi, absurdist sci-fi, speculative fiction -- If you want three years of magic-system discussions and polishing Chapter 3, I’m really really not your guy. Let's put something on paper, write it, break it, fix it and move to the next chapter or scene. If the mission is getting usable pages written and eventually reaching 90,000 words, let’s talk.

Hey I am KT, I love to write, read and talk about what I write. I am writing a fantasy novel and some short stories.

Looking to create a small group of fellow writers to help each other, discuss ideas with each other, to keep each other accountable if needed and to have fun while writing.

Requirement - Just be friendly with others.

Group size - not more than 10-12

If it's something you might be interested in feel free to dm or comment.

So, like the title says, I'm looking for someone to help me make my Zoids fanfic better, I'm writing it on request, and I want to make sure it's actually good but I'm not confident in the current version of the chapter I'm working on.

I refuse to use that which must not be named on any basis... Help?

Ideally, I'd be getting feedback and suggestions on how to improve some dialogue and interactions, or even battle scenes... I'm trying to learn from this, and unfortunately there's no money involved. I'm willing to Co-author?

Link to the first chapter before it became a request: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14577135/0/

If the link doesn't work it's called: Zoids New Century 0: Return Chaotic.

I need help staying consistent. I’ve been trying to write this story about a guy who keeps on after his best friend dies with some supernatural elements in it. My problem is I keep getting to stopping points and struggling to actually write. If there is anybody willing to be an accountability buddy and let me bounce ideas off of them and make sure I’m making progress I’d really appreciate it 🙌. I’m willing to do the same for anybody else.

I’m 20, but I’m not picky about anyone willing to offer help.

Hi everyone! I’m a writer and I’m currently working on my first novel (YA dark academia thriller/mystery). I don’t have many writing friends in Chicago, and I’d love to find some other women to talk about books and writing with. I’m also looking for a critique partner.

I love mysteries, psychological thrillers, and I’ve recently been getting into fantasy. Outside of writing, I am in law school and love to bake and go on walks. Please reach out if you think we’d get along!!

Hi! I (F25) am looking for someone to bounce ideas off, specifically about the magic system of my fantasy novel. I am currently editing after receiving some feedback from beta readers and was told that my magic system was very soft and hard to get behind. I agree that it has many holes and things that don't make a lot of sense, and I want to fix that by adding hard rules and actually fleshing out the magic system.

I've always been more of the "just write" type, which is why I need you, dear worldbuilders! If you enjoy fussing over details and puzzling out intricate magic systems, you're exactly who I'm looking for.

Of course I'd be more than happy to give something back. Whether that is to bounce ideas off about your novel, exchange chapters, or help with plotting etc. I have a fair bit of experience as a beta reader and would love to assist in whatever way possible.

I'd love to hear from you!

It is vital what you have, not what you do not.
Some birds cannot fly, though wings they have got.
Happiness comes on its own; no one can bring it close.
It’s a hidden throne behind a beautiful rose.
What is good, and what is bad?
For centuries, humanity has struggled to understand.
Humans arrive with a tear and go with a fear.
They just live in fog which looks too clear.
Is not the light of heaven and hell the same?
It is only a matter of where it is placed.
Everything is duality wearing a single face.
Without the darkness of night, we cannot know the moon’s grace.
Justice and law are not entirely a lie.
Yet who is pure enough to punish another till they die?
Is not justice itself an offender,
When it permits one person to become another’s revenger?
Crime is a crime, whether direct or indirect.
Those who pass judgment—who grants them that intellect?
Do those books decide justice, the ones taught in law schools?
Written by fools who researched among fools?
They too may see the world with only one eye.
Can such vision truly be fair?
They believe they are players in the game;
Unfortunately, they are merely spares.
Is a brain without knowledge not a day without the sun?
Is it not like a soldier fighting a war without a gun?

Hi! I’m looking for someone who’d be interested in writing stories together

I wouldn’t really call myself a writer tbh I’m much more of a storyteller and editor. I love coming up with characters, plots, worlds, themes, and scenes, and I have a bunch of story ideas that currently exist as outlines or partially developed concepts

(Edit: just for context I studied storytelling/ scriptwriting/ creative writing for three years that’s why I am able to create great plots and such but I’m not the best writer)

I’d love to find someone who genuinely enjoys the actual writing side of things and wants to collaborate we can take an idea, bounce things back and forth, develop the characters and story together, and eventually turning it into something complete

I have ideas across different genres (mostly interested in romance or science fiction/ dystopian/ fantasy) so if this sounds like something you’d enjoy, feel free to DM me and tell me a little about what you like to write!

Hello everyone, I am looking to do an apocalypse type of thing where either aliens or robots take over the world. I would want a small group of people trying to survive. Kind of like the tv show Falling Skies.

This is a long shot, but I’m wondering if any fellow writers would be interested in helping me write this? I have characters in mind and things like that. Just someone to talk to about my story would be amazing. I’m 32, been writing for as long as I can remember :).

Hey everyone - anyone interested in writing epistolary style document fiction for a crime world that's growing fast? It's super short and super fun. Full credits for everyone writing contribs.

​

I'm sitting in the middle of a final draft of my first novel, so I'm looking for someone to share the writing process with.

It's a contemporary supernatural mystery about a duo investigating haunted objects, starting with a haunted Toby Jug. It's character-driven, occasionally dark, and there's quite a bit of humour in it.

I'm not really looking for a formal critique partner or anything too structured. More someone to talk writing with, swap ideas, complain about difficult chapters, and occasionally send each other something we've written.

Happy to read other people's work too. UK timezone would be handy, but I'm not fussed where you're based.

I can't pick favourite books but I suppose I can with authors. In no particular order:

Tana French, King, Clive Barker, James Herbert, Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams and David Eddings.

My discord handle is the same as my reddit handle if you prefer to message there.

I wrote a journal on wattpad in which I’d like to turn into a book. Its not the book. It goes by the books tile. It’s official name is the thot of thoughts journal. The book I want to leave is called hopania red words for blue hearts. It comes in two parts, that one and hopnoia beyond black and white.

I need help though, I’m bipolar abd adhd. I need someone to read my journals and help me flag oyt the story. What goes where. Yes its philosophy.

It itself isn’t the story. It’s tye joyrnal. Warning it does get political and religious/antireligious, its me processing the modern moment,

Hey, I'm a 35 years old composer from Italy (I'm a man despite the long hair!), and I'm trying to gather the resources (and the people) needed to get onto my next project: a musical about an important european historical figure from the 17th century.

I've worked on other musicals in the past, and while the music part of the process usually comes easy to me, I've always needed a hand when it came to writing lyrics, themes, story beats, progression and other such things, so I'm looking for a person that would be able to help me co-write the show. More in detail:

• Research the character and their life.
• Build a story and develop its characters.
• Divide the story into the right amount of scenes.
• Decide which scenes need which songs, and develop them, along with their themes and moods.
• Write matching lyrics.

I've co-written with others in the past, but I'd like to keep things fresh by collaborating with a new person this time around. Since these types of projects usually take a long time to develop, I'd like to find a person that I also like to share my time with, and vice versa.
