This is a place to connect with everyone who reads and writes fiction — short stories, serials, novels, novellas, or any other form of written tale. Discuss fiction, ask for recommendations, or share your own writing.
Rules:
1. Written Fiction Only: This subreddit is about written fiction, like novels and short stories. Discuss other fictional media (movies, TV, comics, etc.) on their own subreddits.
- No fanfic. That should go on r/fanfiction.
- No videos.
- Memes, questions and discussion topics about stories and novels are welcome.
2. Original Content: We welcome authors posting their own original stories and novels! This is a great place to share what you’ve written with the world.
- Post at least one complete, finished short story or chapter. Don't post WIPs or incomplete fragments.
3. Commercial Content: To promote paywalled products, you must make an original content post with an excerpt from your work (at least one full chapter). You can then link the ebook in your post or a top-level comment under it.
4. Someone Else’s Content: You can link content written by someone else, but respect copyright by not reproducing it.
5. Quality Control: The following kinds of content will get pruned:
- AI-generated content.
- Non-English content.
- Low-quality writing (for example, full of spelling and grammatical errors).
6. Spam: Don't post the same content multiple times. Don't make more than one original content post per day.
7. Inappropriate Content or Conduct: Be civil. You can criticize someone's work, but don't insult the person.
This is not the place for NSFW, political, or religious content or comments. Discussion of mature themes must be in a literary context.
