Welcome to c/writing!
This is a space for all kinds of discussion referring to writing. This could include the structure and style found in different types of writing, authors worth talking about, different genres, trends, etc.
This is also a space for users who wish to share their own writing for feedback. This could look like independently posting excerpts of poems/prose/plays or it could be replying to one of the writing prompt threads. Brainstorming and worldbuilding ideas are welcome too!
Ideally, this will be a community where we work together to become better writers and appreciators of writing in all its forms.
All that said, please note that Code of Conduct still applies here. Please apply content warnings where applicable and spoiler material that might be inappropriate.

barely related, but my favorite moment from Wonder Woman 1984 is when Diana Wonder Woman and Kristen Wiig Cat Lady go out for drinks and get to know each other. The scene begins with Diana Wonder Woman laughing at something we the audience didn't get to hear, says to Cat Lady, "you're so funny ๐," and the scene moves on. Like, you've got talented comedienne Kristen Wiig in your movie and you're establishing her character, and the writer (writers? I'm not looking it up) couldn't come up with a single funny thing for her to say? The entire movie is inept on every possible level but for some reason, that moment of ineptitude is the one that lodged itself in my brain.
