Weekly Short Stories Contest and Company! discussion

Please suggest things you would like to see in the group that you think would improve it. I would like to revitalize this little writing community as it's been very helpful to me, and would love feedback on ways you think we can do that.

I'm curious to hear any suggestions as well!

Maybe some kind of workshop space where people can submit stories, poems, screenplays or whatever to get work shopped?

Nahyan, there is the section for everyone to create a folder for their writing and share. Is that along the lines you're thinking, or something else?

So…I have an idea for a thread! Is anybody here familiar with the subreddit AITA? I guess the G-rated version of it would be called Am I the Butthole. Reddit users post moral dilemmas on the thread and the audience will respond with either YTB (You’re the Butthole), NTB (Not the Butthole), EHS (Everyone Here Sucks), or NBH (No Buttholes Here). Since this group is all about creative writing, we could do this with our characters rather than ourselves. It’s not just a fun activity, but it’s a good way to get feedback so that you can adjust your story depending on who you want to get cheered or booed. This activity would work best with morally-gray characters, but even heroes can be the butthole sometimes. What do you guys think?

Awesome idea. A thread has been inspired by your idea!

Hmm. Not sure.

Following the thought from above. I thought that maybe there could be a game about something like that...?

How about instead of... ahem, an opening of the derriere (is that how you spell it? ) let's call it "Am I the Jerk?"

I don't know what to do yet with it. I hope it doesn't become a gosssip thing amongst fellow members, haha!

But if it's about other people... meh, it's okay.

HAHAHA.

The rules so I can branch off of that...!
