Welcome to the Weekly Fiction WIP Thread! This is a weekly community diary for writers here on Daily Kos to showcase microfiction, ongoing serialized stories, and pieces of larger works in progress. Feel free to post your works below in the comment! Also, for this week, a poll: Would writing advice or anecdotes, or similar educational/informative content at the beginning of the week’s diary be a welcome addition?
All Daily Kos fiction writers are welcomed to post chapters and excerpts as comments in the Fiction Works-In-Progress threads.
At the top of those comments, use the header format button to embiggen the title of the work in progress from which your material comes, so readers can find it from week to week.
If you would like feedback, be sure to say so in bold (the format button next to H). Readers, please ensure your feedback is constructive (this does not mean it has to be only positive, but it should always be actionable and sincere advice; e.g. compare “this protagonist is terrible” vs “I didn’t feel a connection to your protagonist”) and limit it to writers who request it. Writers, please ensure you are comfortable receiving feedback and commentary before requesting it in your post.
Together we can keep this a positive place to share our work, our progress, and indulge in our hobby.
