Friendship Hey looking for writer friends

6 Upvotes

Hey there šŸ‘‹šŸ»
I’m making this post looking for long term writer friends.

A little about me -
I’ve been writing since I was 13, I’m 25 now and I still love writing. I enjoy writing romance, fiction, fantasy, sci-fi and much more!! Truly I’m not a picky writer.

I used to help others write their essays, articles and thesis back in HS. So I also enjoy writing research and education stuff. I’m a writing nerd but throughout the last 3 years I haven’t been writing as much anymore. Been busy or, it’s my stupid writer’s block that comes and goes so frequently.

I speak two languages, I absolutely love learning new languages as well :). I’m a night owl, I only play Roblox and I’m a crafty person.

I’d love to have someone I can write with or share my thoughts and ideas together as we write or have ā€œbrainstorming sessions.ā€ I’m not a person who’s consistent in writing, so please don’t expect me to be, be able to write together all the time. I don’t expect you to be either :).

I’ve been pushing myself to write more slowly but surely even if it’s half a page or something. We can help each other in trying to keep us motivated. I also write poems, I like anime, and im currently reading ā€œThe Shadow of the Windā€ by Carlos Ruiz.

To be honest I’m not sure what else to say, I’ve never had writer friends. I’d like to make children books as well, I’m not heavy in smut writing. I’m terrible and awkward at it haha.

I like sending voice messages, I wouldn’t mind us calling (or voice messaging back in forth instead of calling is fine as well) when possible and talking about books, writing or anything: ), I’m also down for watching something together. (I just don’t know how to stream 😭).

I prefer discord over Reddit and yeah. I’m trying not to make this post super long or boring so bear with me. If you feel like we’d get along please reach out : )

I LOVE DINOSAURS AND TRANSFORMERS BTWšŸ¦–šŸ¦•. I love anything paranormal and scary related. If you reach out tell me about yourself.

Friendship Looking for a romantasy critique partner (32F)

2 Upvotes

I'm writing a series of spicy romantasy standalones, all set in the same universe, just each book focuses on a new couple. Books one and two are complete (100k words each), and I'm working on three and four now. Nothing published yet.

I'm looking for a critique partner who's willing to learn the universe and help with feedback on plots and writing in general. I'd do the same for you.

I find groups overwhelming, so I'm hoping to work directly with just one or two people.

I'd prefer someone around my age, since my characters are in their late 20s to 30s. My fantasy world draws on South Asian roots, but you don't need to be South Asian yourself to be a good fit.

Comment if interested and I'll send a DM 😊

Dark Lit Hub - A writing space for writers exploring dark genres.

\* Genre/s: Dark Lit Hub is writing server with a focus on darker genres including but not limited to: Dark fantasy, grimdark, dark sci-fi, horror, dark romance, tradgedy, crime, or any other genre carrying dark elements within thr script.

\* Goals/expectations/commitment: The goal of Dark Lit Hub is to bring together a group of like-minded dark literature authors to support each other in the writing of their stories in a judgement free space. Expectations of new members is that they are willing to contribute both socially and in terms of feedback to the server.

Upon joining, new members undergo a two week trial period before they are permitted to share works. During this period they are measured on activeness, feedback, and vibe. Activeness doesn't have a specific measure, only that new members are interacting enough for members to get to know them. Two chapter feedbacks are required during the trial period. Vibe check comes down to how the group gets along and social cohesion. Anyone who fails their trial will be notified by myself in a message along with the reason for their failure.

In certain situations, a message will not be sent. This is of no effort at all was made to interact, a low effort introduction, or of a new member is offensive within the first week. If you are removed and don't get a message, assume this is why.

This is a fairly high commitment server with aims to create a intimate and close group. If you feel like that is for you, please join. If you can't devote the time, which ia very understandable, then we might not he the place for you.

Also of note, the server is 21+ only due to the subject matter discussed.

32M Dutch writer and avid traveller seeks new friends

1 Upvotes

Heeeey! I’m 32, from the Netherlands, and work as a writer in film and TV. Outside of work I travel quite a lot, swim, love finding good places to eat, and I can easily lose a whole evening reading about some random bit.

Nobody warned me how hard it would be to find new friends once you hit your 30s. A little about myself. I’m pretty social and easygoing, and I like meeting people who are curious, funny and don’t take themselves too seriously. I can talk about almost anything really. Sometimes complete nonsense, sometimes something more personal or deep. Both are good.

Mostly just looking to meet some new people and see if there’s a genuine click, tell me a bit about yourself :)

Friendship Looking For Writing Friends To Connect

1 Upvotes

Hey guys, so I have a couple of projects I’m working on. Here they are:

Area Grey Universe asks the question: What if Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino made a superhero cinematic universe and criminal figures were the main focus?

Aberrants Universe asks the question: What if the Avengers/Justice League were mentally unstable misfits and outcasts trying to be better heroes for themselves and the world but struggle due to a mixture of societal and personal issues?

Blind Love Universe asks the question: What if love blinds you to the point where you start seeing red flags as roses?

Bad Blood Cycle Universe asks the question: What if toxic people tried to be better people but fail at it due to their own selfish beliefs or vice versa?

Harrower Universe asks the question: What if infamous and notorious historical figures became who they are after a making a deal with a demonic figure and it’s up to a an ancient order to stop them throughout history?

Transyl Universe asks the question: What if Universal Monsters had a Soulslike feel to it?

If any of these interests you, feel free to DM me. Bonus if you have Discord.

Project Partner Writing project for any and all!

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I haven't really known how to post about this but I'm really eager to bring some other writers into this project and build the community inside!

A little about me: I'm an author working to publish my first novel after six years of writing, working on two others at the moment as well. I really want to be excellent at what I write, and hope to be a part of community that wants to do the same.

As for the project: It's a platform to write, share with a community, and get publishing assistance all in one.

It's a very humble project but one I think could be really special for authors who take their craft seriously, want to build a critique group, and traverse traditional or self publishing.

I don't want to be spammy, so I'll leave it at that. If you'd like, please check it out for yourself and please comment/DM me if you're an author who's interested in helping!

https://www.lorec.io/manuscripts - the platform
www.lorec.io - splash page

The TLDR is: Im an author who's built a platform for writing, community, and publishing to help authors write, share and connect with others, and get help publishing all in one place and would love some authors to help jump in!

Friendship Optimistic dark fantasy writer seeks friends

5 Upvotes

Hello, i am wondering if there are other writers close to my odd genre. I write dark fantasy, i call it optimistic because it's never nihilistic and darkness serves more like a way to find the light you know.

I like character driven fiction which profoundly transforms its protag. It usually deals with heavy themes - and attempts not to drown in it.

While i enjoy reading every genre and it's interesting to learn about for example what romantasy or sci fi writers are up to - itd be nice to find someone of my own odd genre who really gets me, and asking to read 10 sentences isn't a big ask because normally they would never pick it up.

Project Partner Looking for project partner

1 Upvotes

Hi,

I'm in the the heavy editing trenches of an old manuscript and have a newer WIP. I am looking for project partners who also have either completed manuscripts they are editing/need feedback/read swaps etc.

I give very in-depth feedback to critique partners and while I don't expect the same level of effort exactly, I'm not interested in working with anyone who ghosts or defaults to fly-by comments with no actionable feedback.

Actionable feedback means more than "I didn't like this part" or "I'm confused here" or "I like this part". It involves being able to articulate what didn't work for you and why. Likewise, what did work, and why.

There needs to be a degree of reciprocity and consistency. No discords. We can chat and DM here, share Google docs etc.

I like fantasy (preferably not high), spec fic, thrillers, Gothic, literary, sci fi. I am not your reader for romance or any romance sub genre. Ditto erotica, fan fic etc.

My own MS is political fantasy with multiple POvs and a literary fantasy crossover.

If you have a MS that's relatively far along and want to work with someone seriously, please DM me.

Hope to hear from you.

Friendship Looking to connect with other dark fantasy writers — publishing, magazine submissions, and craft

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone — I'm a 45F writer working on a dark fantasy novel with grimdark sensibilities and horror elements. Think portal fantasy meets deadly games meets institutional corruption.

I'm at the stage where I'm actively working toward publication and starting to think about magazine open calls for short fiction in the dark fantasy and horror adjacent space.

I'm looking to connect with other writers who are:

  • Writing dark fantasy, grimdark-adjacent, or horror fantasy
  • Interested in or actively pursuing traditional or indie publishing
  • Interested in crafting short fiction for magazine open calls
  • Generally want a writing community that's both socially warm and serious about craft

I tend to connect best with writers who are 30+ — not a hard rule, just where I tend to find the most common ground.

I'm currently in a couple of Discord servers but haven't found quite the right fit — one is very social but light on craft feedback, the other is critique-heavy but skews toward horror short fiction rather than dark fantasy novels. If you know of a Discord community that fits this description or want to connect directly, drop a comment or DM me.

Not looking to promote anything — just genuinely want to find my people.

—

Hey, I’m 50+ and have been writing since I was 12. Always written for myself but gave up on the notion of writing a novel. It’s been stories and poems mostly, also some translation.

I find it hard to make time for writing because I’m just exhausted during the week with a full workload, but I could probably get an evening in and then weekends. Hard to focus! I get distracted (ADHD) and would love to have a small group of writing buddies in the same boat.

Anyone interested?

Friendship 41M - Published Indie Author looking for some new friends — especially fellow fantasy/writing people!

7 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m looking to meet some new people and hopefully make a few actual friends on here.

I’m an indie fantasy author and I published the first book in my series back in May, and I’m currently writing the second. Writing and creating this world has become a huge part of my life, so I’d especially love to meet other writers, aspiring authors, fantasy readers, or anyone else who loves creating and getting lost in fictional worlds.

I’m a pretty big fantasy nerd. I love fantasy worlds, D&D, gaming, movies, books, worldbuilding, and basically anything that lets you escape into another world for a while.

You definitely don’t have to be a writer, though. I’m really just looking for people I can talk to regularly, share interests with, and hopefully build some genuine friendships.

If you’re working on a book too, I’d love to hear about it. We can talk characters and worldbuilding, complain about editing, or just talk about whatever.

Feel free to comment or message me if you think we’d get along!

Hi! 26F currently on the second draft of my first book. It’s a YA fantasy that is going to be book 1 of a series. (The current plan is 4 main books and 2 novellas!)

I would love people to yap with about it and possibly get opinions on certain sections while I’m going through and revising things. I’d be happy to reciprocate! I’m neurodivergent and have some struggles with staying focused on one task at a time so I think an accountability buddy would be very helpful for me.

If anyone is interested, I would love to talk! Feel free to dm me and if we mesh I would be happy to swap discord users :)

Friendship Romance Writer Seeks Friends

7 Upvotes

Hello fellow redditors! I'm Tink, posting again looking for writing friends. Whether you're a writer yourself or just someone who likes to read and maybe be a part of the process, I'm open to it! Granted I am posting in a writers group, but you never know. Anyway, a little about me- I'm in my mid thirties and a travel nurse. I have my dog and one of my two cats with me in my travels, and yes, becoming friends with me means all the pet pictures you want, and also yes, I absolutely want to see yours in return. I'm a big lover of body mods (I have plenty of tattoos and piercings and have had almost every color hair under the sun), roller coasters, spooky season, horror/thriller movies, my emotional support tumbler collection, and listening to music.

Ideally, I'm seeking someone who is also a fan of romance. If romance isn't your genre, that's totally fine and valid-- you just might not want to read my writing, lmao. I do write NSFW scenes (and themes overall) but plot is and will always be more important to me. Originally I came on here asking for help with the three stories I'd already started writing, but then I got the idea for a whole universe (three interconnected books!) and so that's what I'm currently working on. I'll post a quick blurb-type thing down at the bottom of this post. I literally only have a few chapters (and a prologue) so this is a very new project, but I'm super excited to get it out there. And even more excited to find people I could potentially share it with and get feedback from! And I am happy to do the same for you, because in my mind, that's what good writing friends are for. We can chat plots, gush about our romances, and point out potential flaws in storylines and SO MUCH MORE.

I am not opposed to chatting here in reddit messages, though discord would be my preferred medium. As promised, here is the blurb so if you're interested, feel free to comment here or send me a DM (:

**Never Be Perfect**

*After spending 8 years in jail for a crime he didn't commit, Dominick steps out as a free man, but is he really free? People are constantly judging him, but as someone who lived under constant scrutiny as an inmate he just ignores the whispers and stares. Content to stay under the radar as much as he can, he gets a not so great job to keep his mind busy and his PO off his back. It's there that he meets Ivy, a spoiled and bratty princess used to getting her own way. She's the type to set her sights on something and not let go- and she's set her sights on Dominick. But will his past deter her? Or is the truth something more sinister than any of them imagined?*
