Howdy strangers 👀

I’m looking to chat with a fellow writer or avid reader who genuinely enjoys diving deep into stories. Not just consuming them, but taking them apart to see how they work.
I’m currently outlining a speculative science fiction novel and would love to find someone who enjoys bouncing around ideas, asking “what if?” questions, discussing character motivations, worldbuilding, symbolism, and all the little decisions that make a story memorable.

I really want to build a two-way friendship. I don’t just want to talk about my own project… I want to hear about yours too. Tell me about your novel, your short story, your research rabbit hole, or the scene you’ve rewritten a dozen times. I genuinely enjoy seeing people get excited about what they’re creating.

A little about me:
- I read a LOT and love talking about books almost as much as reading them.
- Lately I’ve been especially interested in speculative fiction, literary horror, psychology, neuroscience, and philosophy (I like a lot of other stuff too, please don’t think I’m a stuffy intellectual lmao)
- I also love watching and rating movies (especially horror movies!) so that would be fun to dig into as well :3

*I’m only looking for a platonic writing friend, not roleplay, romance, or flirting.

for a long time i have the urge to express some feelings i had but i never found the way to transfer them into real life stuff, this is the first thing i wrote with 0 knowledge

"alex gets home after a long day of driving, partying and fake friends, he stands in the kitchen at the chairless table, he is still wearing shoes because the floor is sticky, sandy, he is looking at the muddy wall who once was as white as it can be, the room is so quiet making his thoughts even louder, once he notices the quietness of the room he starts hearing a long, continuous beep, it gets quieter compared to the other background noise, he feels like nothing is real, like he's dreaming and he has to wake up, head feels weird and in the stomach are moths, then he realized his whole night was gonna be with no escape"

Heyy, i'm a writer and artist and i have this indie series I'm working on and I need more writers. I unfortunately cannot pay anyone who may take the offer, but any help is greatly appreciated i'm kinda desperate and friend recommended I promoted it on Reddit. so if I'm doing something wrong or this isn't the right place i'm sorry. If there are better subreddits for this, please let me know, I'd appreciate that as well. Any help would be appreciated, i've tried a lot of ways to find people but haven't had much luck. Any advice on how or where to get help would be nice as well.

So i'm working on a small project with some friends called Dalphy and Vera and we're looking for people who'd like to help. It's an upcoming animated webseries we plan to release on YouTube and Newgrounds, along with comics and extra content on Twitter, Instagram, Webtoon, and more.

The show is an absurd episodic comedy centered around three duos with very different personalities and dynamics. Each duo has its own style of stories and episodes, like three shows in one. The show mixes surreal/cartoony humor, edgy comedy, episodic adventures, supernatural elements, and some character-driven storytelling. Think Smiling Friends or Regular Show for reference.

Right now we have 5 finished episode scripts and a full show bible/character guide covering the cast, world, and future plans. We're looking for writers since we're mostly struggling with writing at the moment. We also make comic strips featuring the characters, but our social media accounts are pretty inactive, so help there would be great too.

Since this is an indie passion project, it's currently unpaidand will probably stay that way sorry😭

If you're interested, please let me know and hand me your Discord username and we can discuss there, it would be greatly appreciated, i'd love to meet and interact with more aspiring writers, i didn't want to make the message too long so, to briefly explain the different segments, the Dalphy and Vera episodes are sitcom/slapstick-focused, Phoebs and Riley episodes are more action/adventure-driven, and Joy and Shings episodes are more supernatural and story-focused, with the most character development, the most ambitious ones out of the 3. Thank you.

I'm interested in collaborative writing platforms, specifically ones structured as a branching, node-based tree rather than a single shared document (à la Google Docs). Picture one opening line that anyone can extend, but each reply forks off as its own branch, so the story grows outward in multiple directions instead of just forward. Does anyone know of similar tools out there? I know about this one and it works really well but I was wondering if there are any other solutions out there.

I need a project partner for writing a TTRPG themed to PF1E and we can make each map come to life presenting a campaign booklet styled as a choose your own path giving the table choices, skill checks, and encounters baked in heavy roleplay scenarios. If this is of interest please contact me.

Hey, guys! I'm F20 , (I don't rp with under 18+) I've got a bad hyper fixation for writing going on and I need some help! I'm just now getting back into the groove of things honestly so patience with me is a must but I do my best, I promise.. I'm semi lit to novella. Anywhere from 4 sentences to 4096+ character limit and beyond, it all depends on the story, what's going on, how many main/side characters there are and how I'm feeling that day!

I love double ups if we are doing canon characters, this is what I really want to do. This is like my first time posting and honestly, everyone ghosts me so I took it into my own hands and made my own post! Reddit keeps taking my posts down so it’s frustrating. Ugh it’s a mess.

I'm not a huge stickler for your writing abilities, I'm very adaptable and willing to help out however I can. I'd like a bit more than 10 lines, but I totally get it. Sometimes you're really tired, really busy, or just having a hard time but want to get a response out, I've been there! Communication is key!!

I'm cool with every paring! FxF, MxM, MxF, and so on and so forth. I'm looking for a double up YELLOWJACKETS, THE WALKING DEAD, or UNTIL DAWN rp! I have been itching for a angsty/thriller/romance. I LOVE romance and drama stories! I love angst, drama, fights and making up for it with some fluff! I'm pretty much cool with anything! I love trying new things and finding fun stories! I am very set on doing a Yellowjackets or twd rp!!

That being said, I'm VERY active and always available to respond. The only time I'm not willing to write is when I'm sleeping or at lecture! I must warn, I love naps and I am prone to getting overwhelmed so please be patient.

As for OOC, I'm a very open person and sometimes can come off very strong, but I'm also very sweet and will always be there for you! Don't take me or yourself so seriously! I'm a total goof just looking for some new friends. Also this is your warning, I am not above blocking/ghosting if you make me uncomfortable. Like I said before, communication is huge for me so If I'm doing something that bugs you, tell me! I just hope you understand I will be doing the same!

I'm also not all that interested in people who just say "hey" or "I'm interested" or open the communication with some dirt bag response. Thanks for reading! Hope to hear from you soon.

Hi everyone!

I'm developing an original urban fantasy / supernatural thriller and I'm looking for someone who enjoys brainstorming stories, giving honest feedback, or even co-writing if we click creatively.

My dms are open

Hello! I am thinking about a Re:Zero fic, which diverge from canon in Arc5/Season 3 (Fullmetal Alchemist anime style). I am a newbie, not native to english, and i have a lot of ideas, but i struggle to organize them. However, i already defined some characters core and that the fic will take a more asoiaf (conspiracies, family struggles) tone. If Anyone is interested in becoming co-author (i give suggestions to you and vice-versa), please leave a comment.

Hi everyone,

I have been developing a project called Project Saturn and would love to find a few people interested in exploring it with me.

It is a world without humans, inhabited by intelligent animal-based species. Their biology influences their culture, technology, architecture, values and conflicts. My approach is mostly discovery writing: the biology and culture of the species should naturally create the stories.

I originally planned it as an illustrated all-ages novel, but it does not necessarily have to become one traditional book. It could also become:

\\- a collection of connected short stories

\\- a collaborative shared universe

\\- or an interactive branching story

For the interactive version, readers could repeatedly choose between two actions and continue at different sections depending on their decisions. This could lead to different journeys and endings, allowing the same story to be read several times in different ways.

I already have a Google Doc that interested people can read to get an idea of the world. Some chapters and scenes are more developed, but most of it is currently still a framework, rough notes and what I jokingly call my thoughts dumpster.

I am not looking for someone to simply ghostwrite my idea. I am looking for people who enjoy brainstorming, developing cultures and characters, writing short stories, designing choices or giving honest feedback.

This is currently an unpaid passion project. Credits, ownership and possible monetization would need to be discussed clearly before anyone contributes substantial finished work.

If this sounds interesting, leave a comment or message me and tell me what kind of writing or worldbuilding you enjoy.

Hi! I’m 13–14 and an aspiring author who loves writing and bringing stories to life, but I’m not always the best at planning everything beforehand. I love writing scenes, dialogue, characters, and emotions, but I sometimes struggle with organising a whole plot, keeping track of all the details, and building a world that all fits together.

I’m looking for someone around my age who enjoys the parts of writing that I find difficult—plotting, worldbuilding, creating characters, organising ideas, and figuring out where a story should go. I think it would be really fun to work together and combine our strengths, with one of us focusing more on planning while the other focuses on turning those ideas into actual writing.

I’m mainly interested in fantasy, mystery, and character-driven stories, but I’m open to trying different genres too. I’d love to find someone who enjoys brainstorming, sharing ideas, and working on stories together. We could potentially become co-authors, or just be writing partners who help motivate each other and keep each other accountable.

If you're around 13–14, love coming up with plots and worlds, but sometimes struggle with actually writing everything down, we might be a good match! :)

**About the Project/Creator:**
I'm the project manager currently developing a 2D Animated TV Series college with a girl living with the life of gods and goddesses in a university together. The name of the 2D Animated Coming of age/Mythology TV Series called: The Adventures of Elizabeth & The 6 Goddesses.

My Inspirations for the TV Show are Clone High (2002-2003), Charmed (1998-2006) and Percy Jackson & The Olympians (2023).

The Goal of the series is to create an original series with original storytelling, character development, original musical numbers, and breathtaking animation.

**Currently looking for collaborators:**

* Scriptwriters * TV Pitch Bible Creators/Editors * Lyricists * 2D Artists/Animators * Voice Actors/Voice Actresses * Singers (Male and Female) * 2D Promo Artists * Concept Artists * Co-Director

This is currently an **unpaid passion project**. I'm looking for people who are interested in creating something powerful for all of us who love mythology!

**Project Synopsis:**
In the land of Olympus, humans live typical lives in the modern villages and kingdoms. But overseeing their lives are the mythical Greek Gods/Goddesses, the kings and queens of the land of Olympus alongside many magical deity followers. Most of these followers are led by the king of the gods, Zeus, and his higher deities, including Hera, Poseidon, Hades, and many others. But for the followers, they weren’t always powerful gods/goddesses. They were actually once human, but thanks to training at Zeus’s prestigious Olympus Academy for future Gods/Goddesses, these humans learned how to refine their special powers that will allow them to graduate and become one of the many Gods/Goddesses following Zeus and protecting the land of Olympus. 

**Project Plot:**
The series is about Elizabeth Perkins (she is 21 years old) who goes to The University of Olympus, an academy designed for humans who train their special magic powers until one day they graduate with the title of Greek Gods and Goddesses. One day at the college/university, Elizabeth meets six goddesses. One of them is the leader named Athena (Goddess of War), Artemis (Goddess of the wilderness, fertility and animals), Demeter (Goddess of nature), Harmonia (Goddess of Harmony and Concord), Hecate (Goddess of Magic and Witchcraft) & Iris (Goddess of The Rainbow). Together, they help Elizabeth go on many magical adventures like saving people in Olympus or just helping people out in elementary, middle or high schools. But they must stop an evil entity named Jareth who lures women including goddesses with his curvy hips and sensual singing voice. 

**PORTFOLIO: This is my first project, and I don't have a Portfolio of any kind yet.**

DM me on reddit at u/Princessstarfire87 if you're interested in this 2D Animated Series Project!

Hey! Not my first post, but I think I'm getting better at narrowing down my posts in a concise way. As a roleplayer I tend to be literate and have a lot of free time, and for now I'm just looking for friendly roleplay and normal day-to-day interactions.

I'm a digital artist who's been developing a modern (contemporary) fantasy setting for several years along with friends, and I'm looking for people who genuinely enjoy creating compelling original characters and expanding an established world alongside someone else. Now, there is a +50~ pages encyclopedia full of lore and some instructions, so keep that in mind.

• The setting takes place in an alternate modern world where non-human people have always existed alongside humanity. Things like weird monsters, vampires, demons, werewolves, chimeras, and countless other kinds aren't recent arrivals or secret societies, they've been part of civilization for as long as history remembers. Their presence has naturally shaped culture and historical events, creating a world that's familiar on the surface but subtly different. They're not astonishing for normal people, they have their own lives and workplaces!

The setting already has a solid foundation: locations, history, cultures, organizations, folklore, supernatural rules, and multiple playable races. What I'm really looking for now are people who want to leave their own mark on it through interesting characters, stories, relationships, businesses, factions, locations, or even entirely new concepts that naturally fit the world. Have an idea for a character? Pick a place to live, or let's write about a new location!

Although roleplay is part of the deal, it's not the first thing. If we end up clicking and our characters naturally fit together, I'd absolutely be happy to RP. But I'd rather build something meaningful first than jump straight into scenes.

A bit about me:

• 24 years old (I'd prefer meeting people around 20+)
• Full-time digital artist
• Been roleplaying and writing collaboratively for around 14 years
• Love drawing, worldbuilding, character writing, and talking about it!

TL;DR: Looking for collaborative roleplayers who wants OCs, lore, and ideas for an established modern fantasy setting. Roleplay is on the table but comes later if we click!

If this setting sounds interesting to you and you'd like nerd out about these characters or write stories we can kick our feet about, please send me a DM! I'd love to be your friend <3

I'm in the early stages of plotting an epistolary novel and I'm struggling to turn my themes into an actual story. It's about a young boy grappling with queerness and an emerging sense of womanhood who writes letters to his cousin, Cherie, only for it to later be revealed that she had already died. The novel is loosely inspired by The Color Purple, but instead focuses on female abuse, spiritual abuse, memory, and the process of acquiring the language to recognize abuse that once felt normal. It also explores questions like whether life is worth living in the face of cruelty, what genuine love actually looks like, and whether faith can survive after religion has been used as a weapon. I feel like I have a strong thematic foundation, but I'm having trouble figuring out the plot. I can use a soundingboard to help me flesh things out and craft each letter.

Hello! I’m a young aspiring author who hates writing. I have over 30 works planned out in primarily fantasy as well as some non fiction commentaries with a lot of the leg work already done, but I find myself agonizing over making more progress. I LOVE worldbuilding, making the maps, species, characters, plot, discussing ideas, making up stories, making a glossary, talking about my ideas, and the idea of sharing my worlds and words with the general populace.
Alas… I do not like adding the “color” do a scene, and the actual typing out of my ideas goes so much slower than my mind comes up with them that I fall further and further behind. I have a couple hundred thousand words written, willing beta readers, and an eager motivation, but I do think finding a coauthor might be best.
To explain what I have planned so far, I have a series that is interconnected kinda like the Cosmere or MCU in that there are different genres, timelines, planets, etc but they are all connected, and the connection comes together if you read them all, but they could be read as stand alones too. This grouping which I am so far calling Vine of Worlds is 8 worlds where at least 2 of them are set up to be trilogies. 2 are basically LitRPGs, most are high fantasy, and they all are connected in a way that’s too complicated to explain here.
Next, I have about a dozen non fiction books planned to discuss ways in which our modern society is toxic, full of confusion, and loneliness, but also opportunity, love, and goodness. It heavily leans into my Christian beliefs and values often siting the Bible.
I also have a couple story books planned which I would describe as a couple compilations of fables some inspired by old fables like the tortoise and the hare while others are just entirely original. I have about 30 short stories each with a moral to be learned.
I have one screenwriting project which is fully planned but not yet written inspired in part by Screw Tape Letters.
There are a few other random projects, even a planned card game, but this post is long enough as is.

I would love help or even just some accountability. I’ve considered doing something like Royal Road with a schedule to keep me structured, but I suspect that the initial lack of traction combined with my busy life will leave me making excuses to abandon the idea (especially since i truly hate writing)

Hi, so I'm going to start my novel. It's a love triangle with an exchange student from France arriving in university in California. In this story my character is surrounded by a lot of black people (she is too but not black American) and I wanted to show the differences between being black here and in France, talk about social issues and showcase different personalities because black people aren't a monolith.

But I don't want to fail with that because I don't live in the US and can mainly use fictional stuff or online stuff as a source.
I'd like to find a black american alpha reader that's fluent in french that could give me a feedback on the characters, if they need changes or something. I think it's kinda like a sensitivity reader. In exchange I can read their book and chapters and give my feedback as well or try to help in any way I can.

Thanks and have a good day.

Hey guys! I have begun writing my first novel. The novel is a thriller with elements of magical realism and some light philosophy. What I am searching for is a "writing buddy." I need someone to help hold me accountable, someone to brainstorm with, and someone to critique my work. I will help you out as well. Please let me know if you are looking for a writing buddy as well. I am located in Northwest Arkansas, but I am interested in having an online writing buddy as well.

So im a big fan of Lovecraft and everything that is related to cosmic horror or inexplicable things.... I was wondering if there's was someone that could actually help me in a quite a big project of making like a webtoon or something like that

If your interested here's my discord.... (aimespark)

This is for readers and writers.

Hiya. I am a college student and have been writing since middle school.

I've been writing in the horror and thriller genre for a while now, and wanted to better my writing habits by sharing them with other people. I think it can be interesting to have a small writing group of writers (poets, novelists, novella writers, etc.) who can share work, ideas and critique with one another, and post stories in a thread to be read.

I write horror, contemporary fiction, poetry, LGBTQ+ storylines.

---------------------------------------------------

Genre/s: All, but aimed more toward horror/thriller/supernatural

Expectations: To share writing to be critiqued and shared/share ideas and hold each other accountable to write on our preferred writing schedules. Have fun prompts and share completed works to be read.
