The Official RPG Writer's Club!

So, you call yourself a writer. Whether you spend time thinking about ideas without putting pen to paper, have won several Nanowrimos in a row, or are published, even, you might consider yourself a crafty person who enjoys showing everyone your ideas. What I've noticed from my time on RPG is that there's no one "writer's support group" or whatnot; I think it's necessary for writers to talk to writers about their writing, whether it's just their RP threads or even books that they're writing. I also think that this could open up connections between writers-- for instance, published authors or writers that have a completed work might even be able to mentor or guide aspiring authors!

This thread serves as kind of an introductory post for a writer's club. It also serves as a sign up thread for the club! Most of our conversations will be held through Discord, which I think is more personal and easier to communicate with. Hell, if people really want, we can hold club meetings or contests and even post guides and videos!

Of course, with every club comes a couple of rules. These rules are to protect the club's members and make sure that everyone has fun and remains comfortable. That's what the club is all about!

A Few Rules

- No excessive negativity. Writing is hard, but if you always mope about not achieving what you want, then it's not going to get anyone anywhere. Try to keep your chin up.

- Keep NSFW things in the NSFW channel. Since there won't be an age limit for this club, please be considerate of other members. If you would like to post smutty excerpts or need to talk about writing explicit scenes in your novel, keep it away from the minors.

- Be respectful and listen. Don't talk at us, talk with us. We'll listen to what you have to say, but we also expect you to do the same. The club isn't just about one person-- it's about the community as a whole.

- Keep active. If we don't hear back from you in a month, we'll assume you're inactive. Any more than two months, and we'll kick you from the group.

We hope you enjoy your stay at the RPGWC!

TOP 10 GREATEST RP FAILURES NOT CLICKBAIT YOU WON’T BELIEVE THESE TRUE STORIES 😱😱😱

I remember when I first started RPing on Dragon Cave, I joined this dragon hunter RP as a dragon shifter... I have no idea how the GM allowed it. Then when my character was tied up I godmodded, had the character burst out from her chains, and state that she was a Goddess called Gekkigami or some shit. Oh yeah and the character was a Mary Sue and I only pumped out two sentence posts with no spaces after punctuation.

I still cringe when I think of it

And don't wonder why people might not want to rp with you in the first place. The answer itself is obvious.

I have two ideas for books but I just get really anxious when I write them. :(

Why Is No One Joining My RP (General Advice Thread)

Think of it this way. I'm a writer. I'm 25 years old. I want to be published and have jobs at a publishing company/be a professor. When I see others who are younger than me and are already published/an adjunct, do I mope? Do i hang my head and cry??? POOHEAD's probably younger than me and he has several books published. Instead of being jealous/sad, I like his status and hope he enjoys his success. If you're just constantly jealous/envious of people you have a very rough life ahead of you

Maybe feel happy for other people's successes other than desperately miserable.
