About the Community

I've always loved the idea of a community where writers can get together and work together. The idea appealed to me while doing research on JRR Tolkien and I learned about the writing circle that he had with CS Lewis and a few other authors. I think the best influence any writer can have is being surrounded by other writers. I've been involved in several writing communities on GJ and on IJ, but the problem always seems to be, that members don't stay active and participate and it's usually because the mod of the community disappears and no one is given any prompts to work with. I would like to change that. I'm an active participant on IJ, with plenty of time to devote to the community. I'm also a writer myself and working on becoming a professional novelist.

All genre of writers welcome.

Rules, Guidelines & Ideas

1. Don't be rude or bash other writers. We all have the same interest, which is writing. Feedback and critique is good, but please do it in a logical and mature manner.
2. That said, if someone gives you some constructive criticism, take it for what it is worth and do not start drama over it. Sometimes the truth can hurt a little bit, but we're all just trying to help one another improve as writers.
3. All writing belongs to the writer who wrote it. Plagiarism or theft will not be tolerated and are grounds for being banned.
4. If you have a writing activity or a prompt of your own, feel free to post it. This isn't one person ruling over everyone. We're all equals here.
5. Entries should be friends locked. They will be deleted otherwise. This is for added protection against people who sink low enough to steal.
6. Please be mature. Age isn't really an issue, but maturity will be, because of some subject matters that people enjoy to write.
7. You can post either as a comment to a prompt or as a new post in the community. Whichever you fee most comfortable with. Everything will be organized in memories on a weekly or bi-weekly basis.
8. Feel free to post your own writing. You don't have to wait for a prompt. If you have something you're proud of, want reworked, or just want a bit of feedback on feel free to post it.
9. When responding to a prompt or posting your writing, please put in the subject a warning if there is mature content. If it is a post, please LJ cut mature themes and for length. Also, use the following format:
