Can I post This Here?/Topic Request Line
If you want to promote your community ask me about it here rather than just posting your info.

writers_loft just to pimp your comm, it's impolite and I will most likely delete those posts.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Do any of you have any requests for topic subjects to discuss?
On the creative side of things.
I have several character and world building posts planned out already but do you have specific areas you'd like focus on? Other things on the creative side?
The nuts and bolts of writing.
How about things to do with plot, structure, dialogue, setting, scene, conflict and etc.?
After the first draft is done then what?
Revision, rewrites and editing, proofreading, spellchecking, grammar, punctuation, beta readers and critiques.
The business end of the writing gig.
The query process, agent search, publishing, after the sale is made, getting paid, royalties, copyrights, can you make a living as a author, should you quit your day job?
Something else?
If you can describe what you want to discuss in more detail than just 'plot or grammar' it would be a help and if you say, 'everything', I'll fly over and eat you messily and with loud crunchings so do try to be a little more specific. ;-)

no subject
Hearing about story ideas are great. I just think that it is potentially fraught with peril to venture comments upon them without personally understanding said author's opnions on accepting questions.
no subject
EX.
Author writes:
My character PharphenLogaloo an alien who loves to eat phlegm, a delicacy on his homeworld.
I say:
Hmm... Interesting. How do you pronounce the name? And is that phlegm, like we know phlegm, or is it something different?
Author Response:
It's Phar-fen-lug-a-loo and what do you mean? Of course it's on his planet? Do you think I'd have him eat phlegm??!!!
Silliness aside, that's the best example I could come up with right now. Sometimes it gets a heck of a lot uglier than that on some of the writing forums I've been on.
