Big Bang Venting!

Big Bang Venting

Stuck on your story and just need somewhere to vent? Unsure about your characterization or how to move the plot forward? You've come to the right place!

You may also find our discord server helpful to you!


Some guidelines:

✗ Big bang discussion only. This includes, but is not limited to:
  • asking for help on finding bits of canon you can't remember

  • getting a second opinion on your storyline/characterization/etc.

  • being stuck and needing help to move your plot forward

  • having a writer's block and just needing to vent
We realize some of you may already have betas, but for those who don't, it's an extra resource. And even for those of you who do, it might be nice to have a third or fourth opinion.

✗ We want to foster a creative and supportive atmosphere! That means if you post something, especially something asking for an opinion, expect to be critiqued.

✗ On the other hand, we do not tolerate bashing. We're not going to ask anyone to word criticism delicately for fear we are all dainty teacups, but there is a way to word things civilly and a way that's obviously not, even if it is valid criticism. Use your discretion wisely.

✗ Bashing includes: character, ship, plot, author/artist, etc. Bottom line, if you don't have anything nice or constructive to add about someone's work, then scrolling is your friend.

✗ Anonymous commenting has been left on, for those want to keep your work a surprise.

✗ Guys, anon is fun, and I also enjoy being mysterious, but remember, this isn't [livejournal.com profile] pokanon. Anon commenting is left on as a courtesy, not as an entitlement. The mods don't have time to police you all, so please play nicely or else we'll be forced to turn on IP tracking or turn off anon commenting period. Everyone likes nice things, so don't be the jerk who takes it away.

✗ If anyone says or does anything you're uncomfortable with, please don't hesitate to contact us so we can help you sort it out. Have fun, make friends, and good luck!
