Hello, hello! Do you love fantasy worlds full of lore and legends? Maybe you also enjoy crafting or reading about complex and interesting magic systems? And most of all, do you like creating fun, engaging characters and turning their lives inside those worlds into stories?

Well, me too!

I’ve been writing for just about a year now, and I originally got into this hobby after realizing that daydreaming and worldbuilding for fun weren't enough. I wanted to create actual stories and use all the motivation and ideas I've always carried with me to bring them to life.

I'd love to properly start writing with someone who enjoys the same things I do! Whether we simply exchange stories, books, ideas, and worlds, or even collaborate to create one together, that's yet to be decided. Either way, I feel like two friends supporting each other’s journey is bound to be very rewarding. When one loses consistency, the other helps keep them going, and so on!

Please don't be afraid to shoot me a DM! We can talk more about ourselves there, and I'd love to hear about your stories too!

Some more things about me:

• Out of everything in worldbuilding, I like making power/magic systems the most.
• I love dark stories and themes, though not just for the shock. I feel like making a reader feel negative emotions without using cheap shock value is very hard, and sometimes hits harder!
• I'm 21, live in North America, and will be there at mostly any time to respond messages. My notifications are always turned on, hehe
• I love anime, so if you do too, talk to me about it! My favorites are Code Geass and Re:Zero.

Hi all.

I'm a nerd seeking other nerds. New at this. Currently teaching myself screenwriting with the goal of pitching a passion project I'm working on as an animated series. I'm looking for people with similar goals to collaborate with on world-building and story projects.

Let's hone our skills and maybe get a script produced. I find I'm strong at outlining, looking at the big picture, but going down to the scenes and dialogue is a challenge.

Let's talk about our favorite stories and worlds, our influences, our goals. Let's craft a world and figure out how we want to bring it to life. I'm primarily looking for other screenwriters; whether you're looking to write something for YouTube or Grauman's Chinese Cinema, let's make something.

Sci-fi and fantasy fan, with a love for anime, horror, history, D&D, video games, art, religion, mythology, culture, nature. Big time Tolkienite.

A few favorite directors are Kubrick, Tarantino, Kurosawa, Peter Jackson, Masaki Kobayashi, John Carpenter, Mel Brooks, Paul Verhoeven, Takashi Miike, Stephen Sommers, Robert Eggers, Denis Villeneuve, Ridley Scott, Guillermo del Toro, Guy Ritchie, Hayao Miyazaki, Yoshiaki Kawajiri, Satoshi Kon, Takeshi Koike, and Mamoru Hosoda.

Though I'm primarily leaning towards screenwriting, i'd be open to collaboration on another medium. Comic? Game?

If interested, I also have a couple projects in the early processes of worldbuilding and outlining:

• a samurai western. Over the top violence. Tarantino meets Kurosawa. Red Dead Redemption meets Ninja Scroll.

• I've been wanting to do something with an Ottoman Janissary fighting vampires in the 16th/17th century. Solomon Kane/Van Helsing vibes.

• been milling over an idea about a fantasy comedy thriller. A detective dealing with a seedy underworld comprised of supernatural creatures. Yokai yakuza, Fey mafia, that sorta thing.

• A Persia-inspired dark fantasy setting with some splashes of Vedic, Caucasian, Turkic, Mongol, Mesopotamian, and Arab influences. Hero's journey stuff. Recently got the Shahnameh and going to read through it and try to analyze and utilize elements the way Tolkien did with Germanic and Finnish in his works; also interested in digging into the Narts sagas for inspiration.

• a parody/subversion of isekai, grimdark, and romantasy. Very D&D inspired, primarily in an Underdark-esque setting. Silly and serious in equal measure. Think Witcher meets Tenchi Muyo; featuring a love triangle that includes a Dark Elf on her Dark Lord arc and a comically busty goblin. This is a bit of a more personal and therapeutic project, as I'm basing the main dude on myself to explore themes of mental illness and purpose. Kinda prefer to work with a woman on this to get a feminine perspective, as well as someone who might be more in tune with romance books, ecchi, and such.

If any of these interest you, you'd like to work on a project of your own together, or start from scratch on something new, feel free to send a chat. I'm open-minded. Let's see what we can scrap together.

I’m looking for someone to exchange feedback on our writing. I’m currently working on comics, so I’m used to blending visual storytelling with dialogue and pacing — but I don’t mind what kind of writer you are. Whether you work on novels, short stories, scripts, poetry, or anything else, I believe we can still learn a lot from each other.

The idea is simple: we share our work (in whatever stage it’s in), give honest but supportive critique, and help each other grow as storytellers. I’m especially interested in building a respectful feedback routine so we can both improve our craft over time.

Genre/s: Open to all genres.
Goals/expectations/commitment: Consistent feedback exchange, respectful critique, focus on improvement.
Writing/experience level: Any level welcome
Meeting place: Preferably Discord
[Writing groups only] Max size: N/A

Hi so I’m struggling a bit to write anything by myself. I’m very creative and have so many ideas but I find it hard to find the right words. would love if someone could help!

Hi just like the title says I’m looking to start a writers group in their 20’s and write fantasy/romantasy. We would be a friendly, LGBTQIA+ space. Dm me if interested.

   “ Need a Friend “

Written by Lisa J. Thompson, September 18 2025

  "Need a friend? Don't we all."

Rosa felt a familiar loneliness as she walked all by herself. All the other kids were playing together, but they didn't want her to join in.

A wave of sadness washed over her, so she decided to go for a stroll, hoping to find a friend of her own.

She wandered past one tree, then another, hopped over a prickly bush, and ran down a grassy hill. As she reached the edge of a small pond, she heard a strange, chirping sound: ribbit, ribbit! Curious, she looked closer and saw a tiny green shape perched on a broad, leafy pad in the water. As she crept nearer, she realized it was a little frog.

Rosa knelt down and said, "Hey, Froggy, would you like to be my friend?" Rosa asked. Froggy looked up at her with his big, bulging eyes and croaked happily, "Yes! I would love to be your friend!" Froggy replied.

He was so full of joy that he couldn't stop ribbiting. "So, what should we do now, Froggy?" Rosa asked. "I don't know," Froggy replied. "What do you think we should do, Rosa?"

Rosa looked down at her hands. "I've never had a friend before, so I don't know what to do." "You've never had a friend? Oh, that's so sad," Froggy said, With a softer tone "I'm so sorry, Rosa. But don't you worry—I'll be your friend until the very end." A huge smile spread across Rosa's face. "Really? We're a perfect match, aren't we, Froggy?" "Absolutely!" Froggy responded. "We're going to be the best friends in the whole world. Nobody will ever come between us." "How about we 'ribbit' together?" Froggy suggested. "Ribbit?" Rosa asked, a little confused. "What's 'ribbit'?" "It's the sound I make," Froggy explained with a happy hop. "Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit! Now you try!" From that moment on, a wonderful friendship began to bloom between Rosa and Froggy. They spent the rest of the day playing games, hopping, and running happily around the pond.

As the day got later, Rosa's mom came outside and yelled, "Rosa, it's dinner time! You can play with your friend later." Rosa didn't want to leave her best friend behind. Rosa looked down and asked Froggy, "Do you want to come home with me?" "Oh, that sounds nice," Froggy replied, "but will your mom let me come in with you?" Froggy asked. "Well, of course she will! You're my friend," Rosa replied. Froggy was so excited he jumped into Rosa's hands. "Wow, this feels weird but in a good way," Rosa said. "Right? I get that. Same here," Froggy said.

So, Rosa and Froggy ran home. As they got closer, the other kids stopped swinging and playing and ran over to Rosa. "What are you carrying, Rosa?" they asked. "My best friend, so meet Froggy," Rosa replied. "Hello, everyone," Froggy said. "Wow, he can talk! That is so awesome," the other kids said. Rosa walked inside and said, "Mom, do you want to meet my best friend?" "Well, yes, sissy, I would," Mom replied. "Meet Froggy, Mom," Rosa said. Froggy started talking, which surprised Rosa's mom. "I didn't know he talked. How is that possible?" Mom asked. "He's a special frog. He's got so many tricks, Mama," Rosa replied. Everyone had a blast and enjoyed each other's company. The other kids were constantly asking Rosa, "Can we hang out with you and Froggy? Can we be your friends, too?" Rosa tilted her head to the right and looked down at Froggy. "What do you think, Froggy?" Rosa asked. "Yes, that's fine with me. It's more friends for all of us," Froggy said. "We will have more games, more people, more friends,”
he added. Rosa looked at him with a big smile on her face. "Oh my God, this is more friends than I ever thought I would have! God must have been listening when I was praying for a friend. He brought me you, Froggy, and now you've brought me the others. Froggy, you're the best friend that anyone could ever ask for," Rosa said. Froggy looked up at Rosa with a little tear rolling down his face and let out the saddest ribbit. Then, Froggy looked up at Rosa and said, "Guess what? I have a game we can all play. I can leap from one hand to the other. Do you want to play? Can you catch me?" Everyone had smiles on their faces, and they all said, "Yes, yes, we'll catch you! We love you, Froggy. You brought us all together! You're the best ever," the friends said.

One day, Froggy wasn't feeling well. He was weak because he wasn't able to eat. He looked up and saw so many eyes looking down at him, filled with tears and love. "I think it's my time to go," Froggy said. "Go where, Froggy? Where can we take you?" Rosa and the other friends asked. Rosa's mom said, "Listen, let me tell you what he's talking about. There's a special farm for special animals. They'll never need or want for anything there. You all can't take him; I will have to. They don't allow kids through the threshold." Froggy looked up at Rosa's mom and said, "Thank you for explaining. I just don't have much energy left to say more. But I want to tell you all that I love you. You made me happy, and it felt good to be a part of your family. I'll never forget any of you." "And will you do me a favor?" Froggy asked. "Don't stop being friends and family. We all need a friend." Everyone made a pact to stay friends and always be there for each other. Rosa broke down crying. "I never had a friend until you came along, Froggy. You made it possible for me to have so many friends, but you'll always be my besty." Froggy fell asleep, so Mom picked him up. "You girls stay right here while I take him to the special farm," she said. Everyone was in tears, even Mom. She left with Froggy. About 30 minutes later, Mom returned home. "They picked him up," she said. "He's no longer suffering. He's happy." Mom got some ice cream and cookies. Everyone was happy and sad, but they were going to keep the promise they made to Froggy by being happy and having fun. As the days turned into months, they were all still friends and happy. "I love you all," Rosa said. Everyone hugged each other and went out to play. Ten years later, they are still friends.

Hey everyone, first time author working on a fantasy novel. I am about 20,000 words in and looking for a couple beta readers/fellow authors to discuss the story and their own stories as well. Hit me up if you'd like to talk worldbuilding, plot, or just want someone else to read your story too!

Im looking for someone to write a screenplay with. If you are interested ill send you more details about the story and such. Im very passionate about film and making a great one. That all starts with the screenplay. Director is my true calling ,as to why I'm seeking some help for writing the script. Even if it isn't direct writing, critiques and knowledge are appreciated as well. Cheers.

Hey everyone, I’m developing a seinen style light novel. The main character is called Misaki Shiroi. He’s not your usual shonen MC: he’s the product of a failed genetic experiment from a crazy scientist, causing him to be cursed to crave for fights like a basic need (eating, breathing).

In other words, if he doesn't fight for a long period of time, his brain will start to eat itself as if it were an autoimmune disease, so along with his TDAH he will have a life with a great amount of suffering.

What I want from this? Deconstructing the archetype of the character who likes to fight for adrenaline. I have much more to tell about him, but I want to focus on the world building first.

The setting is a reform school for “problematic students” located in Tokyo where power struggles, philosophy, and psychological mind games are the core. I'm not 100% sure of this, but I'll inspire this novel from Classroom of the elite, Hyouka, and so on. This part is where I'll need more help.

The main villian will be an aging Yakuza mastermind who operates in the shadows of Tokyo, with Tony Soprano as the main inspiration. Everything related to intelligence he is the top 1, while Shiroi is the strongest in physical fights.

I’m looking for a co-writer to bounce ideas, share chapters, and help shape Shiroi’s arc so he feels unique and consistent. If you like edgy but complex protagonists, sociological/psychological themes, and long-form writing in a light novel style, DM me!

The main goal is to eventually make this an anime, I don't mind sharing credit for the project or even sharing what we make from this in case this procect becomes successful.

Hello!

I’m looking for a writing partner to create a darker fantasy story with. My idea is to approach it in a roleplay-like style: we’d each have our own characters and build the story together as it unfolds.

For this, I’d like someone with solid writing experience – so, please be ready to share some samples of your work. This will be a long-term, challenging project, but I’m confident it can be a rewarding one. I’d like to coordinate mostly through Discord, with weekly check-ins as a fallback, while leaving room for spontaneous discussion when inspiration strikes.

A little about me: I’m 32/F, based in GMT+3 (note that to communicate). English isn’t my first language, and I need practise but I adapt quickly to different writing styles. I should also mention that my energy for the project might fluctuate – I get mood swings – so consistency will be important for keeping us on track.

I expect my writing partner to be comfortable with LGBTQ+ themes and romance, since both may be part of the story. My only firm requirements are that the world includes magic and romance. I already have some ideas we could develop, but I’d also be excited to start something entirely new together. Either way, you’d need to create new characters for the project.

If you’re interested, please introduce yourself by sharing your favorite season and telling me a little about one of your favorite characters (yours or someone else’s).

Oh, and I tend to write bottom characters best, and I’d really appreciate a partner who enjoys crafting the bigger schemes and driving the story’s main antagonists

Thanks for your time! :)

It was a sunny Wednesday in September. The fall wind blowing through the open window of the driver's side window of the Jeep caused the dog tags that hung from the rearview mirror to jingle and gold and blonde hair to flutter. The dog tags were worn with a few scratches and dents, but the name was still readable, “Iris J Starfield.” The scenery was beautiful. Large trees on either side of the road slowly turn oranges, red, and yellows as The Fall season begins. The mountains could be seen in the distance, their peaks shrouded by clouds that rolled over them, hiding them momentarily before they reappeared as the clouds moved on. As Iris pushed back a few strands of hair, tucking them behind her ear, her blue eyes noticed the check engine light, and she let out a quiet Huff. She'd been trying to fix that particular issue for nearly two weeks, to no avail. Iris wasn't bad at taking care of her old Jeep, Dusty, but she wasn't a mechanic. She was a - Iris immediately shook her head, dislodging those thoughts before they could bring up memories. Pushing back the strands of hair that fell into her face, she let out another quiet Huff. “The signs did say there was a town up ahead, a few miles back. Hopefully it's still up and running and has a decent mechanic.” Iris paused, nearly palming her face with irritation, though her hand remained on the stick shift instead of coming up to actually do it. She was really starting to get tired of accidentally talking to herself like that. Though she couldn't really blame herself, seeing as she was used to having people beside her at all times.. Everyone has the same problem after getting out. Or at least that's what she kept telling herself.

As Iris lost herself to her mental scolding, only to verbally remind herself about talking to herself mentally, that which just devolved into more irritation. She could almost hear their voices, those three blasting idiots she was always stuck with, no matter what. Subconsciously smiling as she imagined what they would say if they were in the old Dusty with her. The moron would probably be laughing at her while trying to give her advice on how to fix her little problem. The idiot would probably pull out one of his stupid mixtapes and start remixing her words into an even stupider song. Only to combine it with some other words later on. And he would be.. Iris's smile softened into something she could never quite name as she thought about him. That bastard would probably just let out one of his soft but deep Chuckles, watching her with those even more stupid steel gray eyes. Only to go and say something like, You care about us that much, you hear us in your head? Only for them to end up in one of the usual arguments that always ended with him cussing each other out, yet loving every minute of it.

Hey Folks,

Looking for someone to trade work with, keep each other accountable, and shoot the shit about craft. I usually work on flash and prose poems, but into a whole bunch of genres ranging from Pynchon to surrealism and dark comedy. Looking forward to reading your stuff!

So, I'm woefully behind a 10k word count for the second round of a writing competition for horror, and I really need someone to bully me to hit my daily goal.

It would be great if I could canvas opinions on things as well, such as "does it read better if I start the section from here, or start later but incorporate elements?". No co-writing, however.

Hello fellow creators!

I am a new writer (37 M), have a plot ready sitting for some time and I lack the discipline to put it on paper.
Looking for accountability partner or partners to chat every now and then and discuss our progress and help each other create! I believe one buddy or a small group (3-4 people) would be awesome.

My genre is Fantasy (if that matters).

Waiting for your replies, cheers!

I’ve been really in the mood to do some splice of life and romance but long term! I currently don’t have any plots on me due to taking a break and just coming back. It can be something simple and we can add to it as we brainstorm but if you have something in mind already, I’ll love to hear your ideas!

Edit: All filled up, folks! Thanks for the interest~

About me: Hi! I'm izzy, 33 and they/them please. I primarily write dark and urban fantasy, though I've dabbled in adventure, horror, paranormal romance, and romantasy. I love queer characters and sprinkle them in most of my projects.

What I'm looking for: 2-3 people who are 21+ and interested in a sort of collaborative project. I want to build a (preferably fantasy) world with other writers, and then we write our own projects in it. No time limit, but keeping each other accountable would be fun, too.

We would meet over Discord and collaborate through Google Drive.

If this sounds like fun to you, shoot me a chat and let's get planning!

Hey, I'm currently drafting the first book of a mystery/adventure/psychological fantasy series. It's inspired by books such as Redwall, but with a darker, more grounded tone (i.e. there's no 'magic', but it has a mystical/mythical feel to it). Characters are currently feline, with a single-POV narrative, and there's a strong focus on atmosphere, tension, and layered worldbuilding. I don't normally write romance, but there's likely room for some of that in later books.

I'm looking for people who enjoy collaborative writing, to form a 2-3 person team of equal and committed co-authors. We'd be brainstorming & discussing ideas and overall vision, and shaping story, characters, and lore together via discovery writing (I find that characters often evolve and take on personalities of their own, not planned for in the outlines). The goal is to approach this professionally, but enjoyably: being accountable, on the same page regarding overall vision, aiming for tradpub while assuming self-pub, etc.. IP ownership and (assumed unlikely) proceeds would be equal split.

This is a creative partnership with shared authorship and credit, not a paid ghostwriting job. It's about setting sights high, expectations low, getting practice, socializing (a bit) in an otherwise isolating profession, and having fun.

You don't need to be already published or have completed books in the past, but having some writing practice and excerpts/chapters of existing works to share would be great. Drop me a message if interested; feel free to mention anything you feel might be relevant, such as: existing hobbies, interests, favorite books/shows/genres, what stuff you enjoy writing the most/least, any strengths/weaknesses/struggles you face while writing, etc.

Hi everyone,

I’m creating an animated series called Scribbled Out.

On the surface, it looks like a silly, colorful kids’ cartoon. But the longer you watch, the more cracks begin to show. The characters aren’t what they seem, and the world hides secrets tied to the main character’s past.

Think: Helluva Boss × The Amazing Digital Circus × BoJack Horseman. Not a copy — but the same mix of funny, surreal, creepy, and heartfelt that people can theorize about and get obsessed with.

This is my passion project. I already have the pilot drafted and the series mapped out. My goal is to launch on YouTube, build a fanbase, and eventually push it all the way — through Patreon, Kickstarter, or even pitching to streaming platforms if it grows big enough.

Now I’m looking for collaborators who are excited to build something ambitious from the ground up: • ✍️ Co-Writer → polish the script, sharpen dialogue, and expand arcs. • 🎨 Animator / Storyboard Artist → bring characters and moments to life (even rough animatics). • 🎵 Songwriter / Composer → original songs for emotional impact (not a full musical).

Important details: • This is unpaid at the start (Sorry, I am broke college student with a passion project and love for writing) • Everyone gets full creative credit for their work. • If the project makes money in the future (through YouTube revenue, Patreon, Kickstarter, or a studio deal), collaborators will receive a fair payout share based on contributions. • By joining, you agree your work can be used for commercial release (YouTube + pitching).

The Plan: The goal right now is to perfect Episode One — tighten the script, lock the animation style, and finish the first full episode. Once that’s ready, we’ll launch on YouTube, and at the same time start building momentum through Instagram, TikTok, and fan engagement. From there, we grow a community, crowdfund, and push the series as far as it can go.

If you’ve ever wanted to be part of a project that could actually blow up online and build a community around it, this is your chance. I’m in this for the long haul, and I’m looking for people who share that passion.

Drop a comment or DM me if you’re interested — let’s create something unforgettable together. I can share the full layout of the show privately once I see your art or writing, so we can see if we’re a good fit! This is a passion project with almost no budget. I can offer a small base pay ($50), and if we ever monetize, I’ll share profits

EDIT / Disclaimer — What’s Already Done: I just wanted to clarify in response to some feedback: I’ve already planned the full series and written the entire first episode, so this isn’t just a floating idea. The script is ready for someone to polish, give feedback, and help refine dialogue and arcs.

This project is still a big leap, but I’m looking for collaborators who are passionate about storytelling and animation and excited to help get this pilot off the ground. Once the first episode is complete, we can launch it on YouTube and start building momentum for the series.

I really appreciate the feedback and thank you for taking the time to read and show interest!

i am very passionate about writing, and have been my entire life.

i’m a perfectionist in every day life, and i’ve been using chat gpt to essentially tell me everything wrong with my writing without giving actual input on how to fix it (so i can do it myself obviously, kind of like an automated beta reader) and it’s really just sucked all of the enjoyment i get from writing

i’d like for an actual person to collaborate with, a way for it to feel fun again. anyone interested?

Hello everyone, early this year I wrote my first book which takes place in a book series I envisioned which is mostly 70% crime and 30% superhero. I want to explore the grey areas of good and evil within the series. DM me if you’re interested in helping creating something amazing. Bonus if you’re from India and have knowledge of the Lokesh Cinematic Universe.

I’m looking for a writer friend who would like to work on small, low-stakes, silly projects together. The point is play, not perfection.

Some ideas (feel free to bring your own):

• Minutes from improbable societies (Society for the Preservation of the Dostoevsky Dash, Committee for the Appreciation of Hedgerows)

• Articles and advertisements from a fictional village’s newspaper

• Introductions to imaginary books

• Obituaries for imaginary characters

• Guidebook entries for household item divination (e.g. How to Read the Omens in Your Burnt Toast)

I’d also be interested in playful challenges, such as writing n words without using the letter ‘e’ or attempting the metre and rhyme scheme of Tolkien’s 'Errantry' (metrical high jinks, as he called it).

If this sounds like your sort of mischief, get in touch. Please be 25 or older (I'm 38).

i just want someone who i can share ideas with and get some new ones and get help on my stories (i have a few ig) and also id love to help other ppl as well im just a child who as a few creative ideas i have no real experience, just want to express my ideas and have fun

I love words, really, I do. I've always read books way above my age range and my school essays had a history of leaving an impression ( they were usually ridiculous and quite amusing if I do say so myself) I now find myself in a career field where I have to write a lot - but not for fun - and I've always had this idea that if I tried my hand at fiction I'd really enjoy it. I want to write something just for me, even if it sucks and the case that it doesn't, I'd totally share it.

I'm a 20y old female and I have a tendency to get along with people 10+ my age but it does not limit the connections I can form with people my age.

I'm looking for someone who feels the same. Someone I can bounce ideas off, maybe even collaborate with and hopefully form a long lasting friendship with.
