Writing Impromptu

About:
Welcome to Write Impromptu


This collaborative forum was created with the intention of offering writers, both professional and novice alike, the opportunity to find writing topics and inspiration for their own pieces while perusing through the variety of weekly suggestions and exercises provided by the community manager. While the term "writing" may be subjective and cover such an enormously wide field, weekly criteria may vary between poetics, stories, and personal memoir concepts to enrich your own personal styles, as well as enable those creative juices to flow unhampered.

Like any community, there will be guidelines for which we request you follow out of consideration for other members. None of these are phenomenal, and simply etiquette. Please take a moment to read them for purpose of clarity before posting and/or joining.
  • Anyone may post their work in the community so long as they are a member. Should the subject of your work featured not correlate to the weekly suggestions, that is perfectly fine. Many times we intend to write on one matter only to find ourselves on the opposite side of the spectrum. The point is that you are writing, and that is what this forum was intended to aid in.
  • Plagiarism of other's writing is unwelcome. Often enough a key phrase may become your focal point, and that is an allowance we will not hinder. However, should you feature other's work instead of your own labor, or thieve what another has concocted without permission of the author, it simply will not be tolerated. The definition of Impromptu is improvisation, something created spontaneously without forethought. If utilizing another's production within your own, or inspired by someone else's piece appearing here, please credit them.
  • Poems longer than thirty lines, prose, memoirs, or stories exceeding three paragraphs are to appear behind an LJ text cut to spare those poor souls who view this through their precariously tiny layout fields. Just because it is not in our face, doesn't mean it will not be read! Another thing, I do not mind images with lyricism patched over it so long as the work is your own. These should be featured behind the text cut, as well, but images holding frontal nudity or any connotation beyond the ever mild PG-13 rating are not to be featured here. They will be removed without hesitation. (Please keep in mind, personal images, polls or questionnaires not provided by the moderator, and nonsense of this strain are to be kept out of the community. Thank you.)
  • Responses vary. Sometimes the most eloquent mastery will receive no commentary, other times you will find yourself drowning in response. Do not take silence as an insult. At times people read a piece and feel they are out of their league by responding, other times there are simply no words. The point of this forum is not to have your ego stroked by a billion gleeful praises, but to keep the element of creativity from stagnating.
  • Negative feedback which oversteps boundaries of impartial critiques are not acceptable whatsoever. We are all on our own level of skill, our depth of experience, and have a voice for which none other shares. Please be respectful and refrain from derogatory remarks or uncordial conduct. It is within the right of the moderator to delete or remove unsavory elements should they become a nuisance.
  • Participation is entirely up to you. Some individuals prefer to write privately and not share their work, which is entirely fine. Some exercises will come for people to jump in on and patchwork, sometimes a thread will be initiated for others. Mostly, you will find weekly offerings, and what you do with them is up to you.
  • Advertisements for other writing-based communities, articles, contests, etc. are allowable and will not be deleted unless they hold negative tides within them. Should they be completely off topic, they will be deleted without hesitation.
  • On your first post, or at point of joining, please introduce yourself. This is not mandatory, but this forum should hold a comfortable atmosphere, and a group of non communicating strangers is not comfortable. Suggestions in your announcement may be your name or what you prefer to be called, perhaps where you are from, what you hold tendency to write or your history in writing. Perchance even a small tidbit or two about yourself.

Should you have any questions, comments, or ideas, feel free to contact the forum moderator [info]burningheretics by email with the subject clearly labeled as being relative to [info]write_impromptu. Thank you, and good luck with your writing!
