All our Plaza NaNoWriMo participants enjoyed the community we hobbled together for November so much that we've decided to make the group permanent.
So, this thread is for that!
First off, you're invited to participate in this thread as either a writer or a person who wishes to support all our writers! We all need cheerleaders at some point.
Second, we have a companion server on Discord. If you want to be able to participate in writing sprints, more extension craft discussions, etc., you'll need to head in that direction (by dropping your discord username below so that we can invite you to it). @Fuin Elda is my co-hort in running the server, so you'll get your Discord invite either from me (Rebekah Loper#4402) or her (Chinona#4803).
However, you do not have to join the Discord to be part of the Plaza Writers group. We'll try to keep this thread fairly active.
Third, I'd like this to be something that also actively contributes to the Plaza in some way. I'm thinking maybe some sort of seasonal/quarterly 'exhibition' of sorts. Maybe Plaza people offer up prompts and we'll write some short stories to share, or essays if we have any non-fiction writer types, etc. I'm thinking a mix of Tolkien-themed prompts and original ones might be good. But I welcome suggestions!
And... I think that's all for now, folks! If you want to be 'official' fill out one of the little forms below to post so we can get to know a little about you and your writing! (Or, if you're someone who wants to be on the 'support team' as a potential beta reader/critique partner.)
Rules:
1. Respect intellectual property. We don't condone stealing story ideas, at least not without permission. If someone shares their work here, whether in part or in whole, that doesn't mean you can take it and share it somewhere else without permission. (Writers, do keep in mind that anyone can view this forum and no log-in is necessary. In some circumstances, sharing an entire body of work here will make it considered a published work. So use discretion.)
2. All Plaza rules apply.
