-Maya Angelou
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.

It started with a seed of an idea, in my case specifically "what if the tech billionaire ruling class actually got everything they said they wanted, including offworld fiefdoms, clinical immortality, and no restrictions on their power or inhibitions on their whims," extrapolated on what that would look like, added in the limitations of material reality (such as how ruinously costly it would be to supply an unsustainable Martian fiefdom with a poisoned a depleted Earth's resources), weighed in the class struggles of the precariat left behind on the plundered and slowly-being-killed home planet, and then I added mechas because I love mechas.
