Hi! I'm a beginner writer looking for other new or amateur writers (ages 22–30) who enjoy brainstorming, exchanging critiques, and keeping each other motivated. I am a UK-based newbie writer who wants others to partner up with and encourage each other on their writing journey. 

Looking for cosmic horror fans and people who are

Writing / Experience Level:
Newbie / Amateur. I'm still early in my writing journey and looking to learn alongside other beginners.

Meeting Place:
Discord: https://discord.gg/MRu6AmxeW

Max Size:
Small group (around 5–10 people).

Looking for a partner who is doing a unique setting. My world is a newbie amateur writer with an obsession with writing dark fantasy cosmic horror inspired by Irish and Welsh mythology, especially the Lebor Gabála Érenn, the Mabinogi, and the Immrama. The premise is that Doggerland never truly sank. The main characters are from the blessed tribe of the gods, Lyoness, the British Atlantis, which is now a reimagining of the lands of the Tuatha Dé Danann or the other world. Got some inspo from a PhD&D video about the Dagda building the other world .With the other world being a creation of the gods.

And some ideas based on the reincarnation aspect in my setting: magic comes from memory . The tuath are a race of displaced people who have lost their homeland in my setting and are no longer the godlike people they once were. Now, without the name of their nation, they cannot cast magic, and worse, when they die, their name is gone or erased. unable to be read or spoken by anyone.their homeland, language, and identity. 

Is gone. Forced into a state of perpetual diaspora for angering a godlike force.500 years after the diaspora, a soldier turned archeologist, Ainsel, and her crew are going to find the root of the curse and right it for glory and to give their people a chance at a future

Critique Partners & Writing Groups Looking for a small writing group (discord)

5 Upvotes

Hey, everyone. I just recently joined a couple writing groups on discord servers and have found it a little daunting sharing work and discussing ideas with a packed server. So, I'm looking to put together a small writing group.

I'm 27 y/o, an enthusiast of horror, anime, gaming, films and TV shows. I'm hoping to get a writing group of 6-10 people going. My genre is horror and I'm currently invested in short stories, but have a 40k first draft going for an adult fantasy book.

I feel it's important for people to have a community of passionate, like-minded individuals. I want to create a comfortable place for people to bounce off ideas, support and motivate one another in their writing, and have somewhere to chat about anything and everything. There will be no forced intros or compulsory meetings / video calls. Would love for the server to eventually grow naturally and create a community for people to find writer friends.

If this at all interests you please feel free to DM me and we'll set something up.

Age: 21+

Genres: All welcome but horror is prio because my ideas can get a bit dark 👻

Goals/expectations/commitment: To build a community of writer friends to chat, brainstorm ideas, and share work

Writing/experience level: All welcome!

Meeting place: Discord

Max size: 10

Based in: Preferably UK so that someone is around to talk should you need feedback or want someone to bounce off ideas with, but all time zones can join if this is a group you want to be a part of

Non-negotiable: Absolutely no AI use allowed!

Cheers for your time, ya'll. I look forward to meeting you 🫡
