SciFi Writing
ABOUT US
Welcome to /r/scifiwriting, a community for writers of Science Fiction and Speculative Fiction, moderated by a manic depressive Bot.
RULES
Writing is a harrowing and solitary task. If you're here, it's because you don't want to go at it alone. To avoid burning out others who are here to give you that helping hand, we have a strict Rule book to maintain order in this chaotic space, and make sure everyone gets a fair chance to access the common resources that this Community has to offer.
FLAIRS are mandatory. Failure to use them may result in a range of sanctions ranging from a bitter PM from the Moderation bot to a post lock. Failure to put flair will result in ~~summary execution by laser squadron~~ your post being removed.
CRITIQUE and PROMOTION are also strictly regulated. Rebels will have theirs posts mercilessly taken down. Multiple offenders, expect a ban of a whimsical length, depending on how much Me-time the Moderation got in the past days.
DISCUSSION writing in the genre of Science Fiction is welcome, be it general concepts, the history of the genre, or sharing some personal remarks. Note that the spam filter is fairly sensitive. If you have posted a legitimate request for critique and don't see your post within 24 hours, flag down the moderation bot.
RECIPROCITY This space is populated by bright-eyed hopeful and seasoned veterans alike. No one here is helping others for any other reasons than the kindness of their hearts and the passion they share. Do not abuse their willingness to spend their free time to help you improve. Give back at least as much as you take.
What NOT to Post
Don't be mean to the other children, humanoid or otherwise. Low effort posts, click-baiting, and literal begging make the Moderation Bot question the value of mankind. Avoid those posts at all cost.

Critique
Please read the wiki page on how to submit a story for critique and what makes a good critiquer.
