What is a writing party?
A writing party is something that Ree and I would often do if we wanted to get some writing done and were having trouble with it. They involve snacks, music, encouragement, and specific goals. Our fellow admin Myra loved the idea of them and asked to be involved through chat when we had one. We decided from there that they would make a great writing resource for anyone who wanted to participate.
How do I request one?
If you'd like to request a writing party to get your muse going, you can ask about it here in this thread or PM an admin. There are two kinds of writing parties: formal and casual. A formal writing party has it's own channel in our discord chat and gets announced various places. A specific day or set of days would need to be planned out.
A casual writing party would just involve our already existing fandom workshop channel and would likely just include our chat regulars, along with the person wanting the writing party and anyone they ask to join for it. Because it doesn't need to be announced, a casual writing party can be set up more quickly.
How do I participate?
There are two ways to participate in the writing party. The main way is to join the chat room and interact with everyone there in the writing party channel. We use Discord for our chat room, which allows you to have different channels that are all part of one chat room (kind of like rooms in a house).
The other way to participate is through the forum. You do not have to become a member to create or post to a thread, though we would love to have you as an official member. If you don't want to participate through the chat room, but would like to set a goal for yourself and keep track of your progress where others can see it and offer encouragement, you can do that right here in the Writers' Workshop.
I'm not a writer. Can I participate anyway?
Yes, you can. Even if you don't write stories, you're welcome as a part of the writing party. You can encourage others, get sneak peeks at upcoming chapters/stories, and get encouragement for things like leaving reviews or writing challenges.
