Welcome to the Writer's Table, a discord-based writer's critique group!

Have you been looking for a small writing server dedicated to helping each other improve our craft? Do you want a server to run writing sprints in and help cheer fellow writers on? Then look no further than the Writer's Table!

The Writer's Table will remain a small group, with a maximum of ten members within the server. We have dedicated critique channels with an expectation that members will give feedback to others if they want to keep asking for feedback for themself. We will run occasional writing events to help everyone progress towards their goals, including word crawls and general getting to know each other's works events! Members can also each have their own personal channel to talk about their works in, if they desire. Life is busy, so there's no expectation to submit pieces for feedback outside of any schedule you create for yourself! The Writer's Table aims to be a casual place where we can get to know each other, improve our writing, and simply have a good time in this craft we've chosen!

Membership at the Writer's Table is open to anyone 21+ years of age, who writes original fiction! We do not accept critique submissions for fanfiction. If you're interested in joining, send me a DM here on Tumblr for the server invite!

“Fantasy Moth” by Juliette Cousin on INPRNT

[nothwell]

Oak King Holly King is a historical romantasy wherein a fearsome fae warrior destined for ritual sacrifice seeks a mortal clerk fated to save him.

You can grab the full audiobook (narrated by Gary Furlong!) over on my Payhip alongside my other queer romance audiobook Mr Warren’s Profession and all of my ebooks.

(And if you type “tumblr” into the coupon field you can make everything 20% cheaper.)

basically the best thing any character can do is decide they don't want to be afraid anymore - in fact they never want to be afraid of anything ever again - and take action so drastic they fail to realise that this too is a decision motivated by fear. or to account for the Consequences of that.

[valtsv]

[with obvious perverted intent] hey. don't you want to release the safety catches on that character. don't you want to flip off all the switches holding them back and let the control rods go.

In My Feelings about writing communities again, thinking once again about my idea for a small writer's discord server centered on actively giving each other feedback on each other's writing. didn't really get much interest last time i posited this idea, but maybe this'll reach some new blogs this time? would anyone be interested in that?

[liarsblade]

Love a character who is neither trustworthy nor untrustworthy but another secret third thing.

Guy who can be relied upon to make the right choice 98% of the time but God that 2% is a fucking doozy.

im so sorry that you're doomed by the narrative but i really need you to answer my message on Microsoft Teams

[specialagentartemis]

Intelligent alien species based on bugs but specifically those moths that don’t have mouths and only live for a week after they pupate. This species’ whole conscious life is actually in the larval phase; larvae are the ones considered people, larvae are the ones with conscious and complex brains who build society, and each instar of the larva is treated as a different phase of life. Larvae become emotionally and socially and cognitively mature without ever becoming sexually mature. When they pupate, they metamorphose into something different and strange and close to mindless, with no mouth and no digestive system, whose only instincts are to mate and then quickly die. Metamorphosis is treated, functionally, like a person’s death, and the imago phase is a kind of proto-afterlife of majestic flight and the continuation of the species. Birth and death inextricably intertwined. Sex is not something people do during their lives, it’s a thing that is done as an imago after you’ve passed on from your life but before you return to the soil in death. Resultant eggs are collected by family members to raise. I think this would be fun.

the transition from people needing each other to wanting each other is literally one of my greatest weaknesses that shit makes me want to walk into the sea and sit on the ocean floor for a thousand years

[valtsv]

like. characters whose entire self worth is based on how useful they can be to others, who think that they're going to be abandoned as soon as they're no longer necessary, being told by someone that they want them to stay and realizing that they have value to people in and of themselves and not just for what they can do for them will never fail to completely unmake me. like on a molecular level.

[valtsv]

it's about the moment dependence becomes devotion

[wordfather]

step 1 to writing is always remember to have fun! in step 2 begins the agony

[chronicallydragons]

YOU THERE! Do you like cursed, disabled, gay dragons? Of course you do! Child of the Dragon has an all queer central cast of cursed shapeshifting dragons and one of the POVs is a gay chronically ill ex-assassin 👀 seeing as it's disability pride month and I am a disabled author with a disabled MC....👀 so 👀 

the character in question is a part-time mobility aid user like I am and experiences symptoms based off my own experiences with POTS, migraine, and chronic pain! He's undiagnosed because I was undiagnosed when I was first writing him and it didn't feel right to add a diagnosis in later, and in world, the cause is magical in nature, so it makes sense why he hasn't seen a doctor about it yet. There's also another POV character who is questioning-aspec and kinda sort of ended up with my anxiety. It's not as prevalent or obvious, but once you see it, you can't UNsee it.

Anyway, I think it's pretty good and think that tumblr might think it's neat, so... if anyone is interested, here are a bunch of links (US store links because that what I have easiest access to, but I know for a fact it's available internationally!)

when shirley jackson said, “the very nicest thing about being a writer is that you can afford to indulge yourself endlessly with oddness, and nobody can do anything about it, so long as you keep writing. all you have to do — and watch this carefully, please — is keep writing.”

We Who Have Been Raised by Tigers

my short story about past life & gender is out!!!! you can read it here!!!!!

In your last life, you were a tiger princess. You lived by the water and you adorned yourself in gold circlets; you chimed when you walked, like birdsong, like blessing, lotus flowers threaded in your long, raven-down hair. A snarl-handed oma who loved you better than she did your sister taught you to paint your face and to strike first. You were cruel, beautiful—when you tipped your face up to the sun, it shone brighter, just for you.

[cataclysmictide]

in my head you're alive and we sit down for dinner and talk it all out
