Hey, my name is Ed. I've been writing my book, The Fallen Star. I've recently finished posting the entire book! I would love if a few people could read through it and tell me what they think; I would love to get it published one day
Siale was no longer safe for the Watchers; they were forced to flee from the city. Little did Rantil know that his life was going to change forever. He was about to be caught in an age-old battle between the Chalders of Ciameth and the Demons of Dremnor. He was Truaine's only hope.
Join him on his journey across Truaine; through the memories he'd rather forget, over vast mountain ranges and eventually beneath the Phayorian Mountains in ancient tunnels - created when the world was so much more than it has become.
The Fallen Star would change everything.

hey everyone, I was just accepted to the group and wanted to say I am looking forward to being apart of it and hearing feedback from fellow writers. I just posted a piece in the featured, I hope that's alright. I didn't know where else to put it... I'm new to groups so forgive me if I seem a little slow. Bye

Hi,
I'm writing a topical feature for my creative writing course, and I need to get some quotes... Can anyone here help me?
I'm writing about how the books we read as children effect us and our writing...
So I wanted to ask
1) what were your favourite books as a child?
2) Which of the books you read as a child (not necessarily your favourites) have had the biggest impact on your own writing? or on your development as a writer?
3) Are there any other comments or points you want to make about the subject?
Thanks!

Um... so I like submitted and it got accepted straight away. Is that normal?

I have a question...what isn't allowed? I mean I write erotic like stuff and sone fanfic but everything I write is 18+ works

Quick question--why are you called "Writer's Strike" if you want people to keep writing? Shouldn't you want writers to stop writing until some kind of demand is met?
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
I'm afraid you probably won't get a decent answer. Our founder is the one who named the group and is now MIA. Sorry!
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Wild guess: "dA Writer Strikes Back" was too long a name and got truncated.
That's obviously wrong but the truth is probably less interesting. It usually is.

Hello, I am the founder of and I have sent an affiliation with your group and you have not accepted it for more than 5 days. I was just wondering if there is any delay in the group, or not.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Right now we only have two active admins and it requires three to get an affiliation passed. Unfortunately we have no way of changing this without our founder, who has been MIA for quite some time. However, I can send an affiliation request to you instead
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Oh, I am sorry about that. I would love that though, thank you.
๐: 0 โฉ: 0
I don't know what happened to the group?
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
No kidding. It pretty much fell off the face of the earth, didn't it? That's why I'm working with other writers groups now
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
I feel guilty. :/ I'll just hand out some llama's to all the members and beg for forgiveness.
* creeps over with you *
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
You know, with no admin and the inability to change some critical things about the group, the Strike has very little hope for the future
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
I don't know if any of the other active admins would want to, but we could always relaunch the strike on another account with a more active admin as the founder.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
True. But just like you I don't know if any of the other admins would want to. :/
I know *jesusroxgirl is really busy with class. I've pretty much tied my hands with collabs and new projects and I'm not entirely sure of the rest but I imagine they're pretty busy too. :/

I am trying to affiliate with you but you haven't voted on my group LiteratureAnonymous yet
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Most of the time this club only has two active admins anymore, and unfortunately three votes are needed to put a affiliation request through. Neither of us are the founder either so we cannot change how many votes it requires. I'm terribly sorry.
Though, I may be able to send an affiliation request from us to you instead. I'll try that right now

Alright, I took care of it 
I also affiliated my own club, #WriterSecretSanta with your literature club. I really like what you are doing with LiteratureAnonymous!

Thanks I can not take all the credit my CO-founders and Contributers are a big help.

I would love that

The group actually isn't a strike. The group was established out of the frustration of a few writers who hated how little attention the writing community gets. The strike was just the title the founder thought up

The #1-Hr-WRITING-Contest is holding a New and Different Contest !
That's right, New and Different, meaning much different than our usual contest! For one, there's no time limit! For another, the winner will receive a One Month Premium Membership (among other things)!
So, come on over, writers, and take a look! We've got exciting things going on over here!

Tonight I sing alone
I hum a tune that no one knows
I dabble my fingers across these keys
In the dark I am free
Loneliness is comfort to me
He is the only person that has been with me since the beginning
The only friend that has held my hand
Loneliness has shown me the world
Kept me safe
set me free
With it, I have become me
solitude, our cousin
She is unpleasant at first
But once you get to know her
There is no more pain or hurt
I unearth myself from time to time
Tonight I come to the forefront of these lines
showing those that know about what I have wrote
It's okay
I live in the darkness
And here I will remain

I noticed you don't currently have Super Group status. Have you heard about the Literature Community Fundraiser? All lit groups are welcome to apply! I'm sorry if you have heard about it and this is just repetition. Just want to make sure all the lit groups know about it!

Well I guess it's about time I contributed. Heh.

I can't seem to find submission rules posted anywhere within the group. I'd like to know if there are any restrictions? Thank you.

No restrictions
