    Reading the Rim: Rimworld fanfic Ideas, Discussions, and recommendations thread.

    Discussion 
    as a Story Generator, you would assume there would be a lot of fanfics about the game. Sure there are comics and fanart, but sometimes its nice to read things. unfortunatly, at least on this site, there are only three. and two of them are oneshots by the same author while the other is on...

    CipherSage's Writing Journal

    Where do I even start? I've been seeing a few writing journal threads here and thought I might try my hand at starting one, too. I'm not entirely sure how to approach it, but I think it could help me get back into writing. And if it doesn't go smoothly, well, it's worth continuing to try, right...

    Good Lines You Haven’t Written Yet

    Discussion Idea 
    Hey! As the author of a few long running Quests, I’ve realized that there’s a thing that connects a lot of writers. Namely, that each writer sometimes thinks of scenes that would be really cool, but won’t happen until way later. So, I decided to start this thread. Here’s the rules. Every post...

    Z’s Writing Journal/Writing Discussion Thread

    Saw another user with a thread like this and thought it was a fun idea, so I’m copying them! Crawkid, if you see this, thanks for the idea. Sometimes I have thoughts about what I’m writing (and let’s be clear, BEL0VED is the ONLY thing I’m writing – I’m obsessed with it in a neurodivergent way...

    How does the Collaboration Station work

    I'm semi-new here so I'd like to know how that works, since I'm looking for a co-writer for a project. If one of the mods/staff could explain how collabbing works here, I'd be grateful.

    Made AI tool to help me write fanfics

    I've been working on this tool called NovelCraft.ai to help generate stories. It breaks down the process into steps - choosing elements, creating a storyline, developing an outline, and writing the actual story. Using this I wrote my own Evangelion AU - starting from NeonGen last scene, kind...

    One last check, just to be safe. Rope? On the belt. Berry Pouch? Prepped and filled. Potions? One or two. Confidence? In excess. Skill? He doesn't even need to answer that. Bandana? Nice and tight around his neck. Hat? Borrowed from the farmer. He wouldn't miss one stetson, would he? Floragato...

    An Absolutely Ferocious Tussle - A Poke-Western Oneshot
    Threadmarks: Start

    Wrangling was a difficult profession. Granted, that was true for most professions on the Unovan frontier. Ranchers had to deal with ornery herds of Tauros alongside pokemon rustlers and thieves. Lawmen had to keep the peace where they could, be it in town or the wilds, and faced constant threat...

    Brainstorming over abilities for my Worm oc

    Idea 
    An idea I have is a party themed biotinker. I absolutely love Biopunk and wanted to explore that more in fiction. For example, she could perhaps make party themed weapons and gadgets. IT could be a cake that is a poisonous bomb or it shoots out toxic spikes. I can make it foul and make her make...

    Ever Had So Many Ideas that You Don't Know Where to Start?

    I started this project back in 2012. It's a Hetalia, Durarara, and D.Gray-Man apocalypse horror story. It's currently in its eleventh season. But I want to keep adding more to the world. I have some ideas but where to start? Can anyone relate?

    How do you end a quest?

    Discussion 
    So this is obviously an interesting question which builds off a conversation I had with @Lisafication. One of the issues I have found with my own past quests is simply that I don't want them to end. I enjoy what I'm doing, I like the status quo, I don't have an idea on what or how I'd end it...

    A Place to Talk about writing approaches and techniques

    I tried looking for a place to discuss the "hows" of writing. And I couldn't find a thread for it. There was a pinned thread in this forum with two really interesting articles I agree with covering a lot of valuable things to look at when it comes to writing. I considered making some comments...

    Threadmarks: Introduction To My Garbagè

    Hi, I'm Prometheus110. Like every writer ever, wannabe and otherwise, I write a lot of absolute dross when the mood takes me and I rarely (I.E never) finish any of it. Unlike other writers, however, I'm able to admit that I really want attention and so I'm willing to publish said trash here. :V...

    The premise is simple - think up a story and write about it in six words. The story can be any genre, but it must be your own. You will be allowed to comment on the above poster, but you must respond to the tax. Here's mine: A group photo. Forty dog tags.

    Transitioning From Fan Fiction To Original Fiction

    So as some of you may be aware that I've written fan fiction in the past, but as of late I've suddenly found that my motivation to write it has steadily waned, while my urge to create an original setting with original characters has only grown. There are two stories I've got worming around in...

    32 Little Details from Scott Kelly's Year in Space - A Writer's Resource

    Hey guys! I recently read (and loved) Scott Kelly's book about his year living in space. It was an amazing look at life aboard the ISS, and I kept a list of interesting factoids that I thought might be useful for writing sci-fi. It occurred to me that I should probably share this list - after...
