I keep trying to post a story I wrote but Reddit won't let me for some reason. It keeps saying, "Something went wrong. Try again". Why?

F(r)iction is running its Fall Writing Contest, featuring awesome judges and prizes!

In our writing contests, we seek writing that reflects a similar mission to our journal, F(r)iction: work that actively pushes the boundaries of traditional publishing, that has complex characters and a strong narrative arc, and makes us feel something as we read it. We want stories we haven't seen before, whether it twists or plays with genre, setting, language, voice, you name it.

Our contests also feature a panel of three guest judges to help us decide the winners for each category. For Fall 2023, we have Cathy Ulrich judging Short Story, Warsan Shire judging Poetry, and Sejal Shah judging Flash Fiction. Winners in each category will receive a cash prize, as well as an opportunity to work with one of our Senior Editors to see their work published either online or in our print journal!

Is it possible to become a good writer after a while of using the rules?

I'm puzzled, because sometimes it seems that to be very pedantic in writing one must have always had this ability, like learned from early age.

And fixing later learned "wrong ways" is more difficult.

The best kinds of relationships serve a purpose in the world. We don’t get into relationships to serve ourselves. Love isn’t about how best a person can serve you, and how best you can serve them. Love at it’s very best isn’t selfish. Love is a bond of unity, a collaboration of energy. And when this energy is most high, it’s like the brightest star

in the sky. True loving energy actively participates in flooding out all the darkness in the world, and all the darkness in ourselves. This is the ultimate purpose of love… to balance the dark, so that we may not be overcome by it. True love energy is more than a spark. It’s a ship that sails with purpose… like Noah’s ark. Love saves many a people

from drowning in sorrow. Love promises a brighter tomorrow. Love isn’t shallow. In fact, as they say… Love is blind. True love is felt by the spirit, the heart, and the mind. True love can be perceived if one looks deep. It’s a fire to a flame, with the deepest chemistry. It’s a memory to a name. It’s energy that encompasses you and me. The Lord

is Love. Love dwells in eternity. And Love invites us to this divine experience. Invites us to taste the waters of eternity. And when you drink from the waters of eternity… your heart breaks free. And you see that you don’t need to have things in common with people such as two doctors, two artists, two lovers of food. In a truly loving relationship

of two; all you need is a love that’s true. A love that will hold you when no one else will. A love that will lift you up when the world tears you down. A love that will seek understanding before judgement. A love that you can truly feel. A warm embrace, a hug, and a warm smile. A love that makes living worth while. A love that finds joy in the

smallest acts of kindness. A love that can recognize a potential for greatness. Greatness being a beautiful love story in the eyes of Angels. Hands that hold one another and never let go. Kisses that never end. Eyes that see straight into the heart. Minds that discern truth no matter the pain. A love that sustains. A love that lasts

forever. Sometimes, all you need is to cuddle in bed, when all the world seems lost in dread. No demands for sex. Just warm touches, true intimacy. A warm space beside each other when the world seems cold and lonely. A warm presence in each others arms. True value in another’s soul. All you need is each other to hold. Why do people

complicate love? Love can be simple, and it can be felt with ease. Love can heal the heart of pain, and is capable of healing the body of disease. Love is feelings, compassion, and especially authenticity. Love isn’t a sea of lies. But of truths always told. True love is finer than pure gold. True Love is a bond that can’t be broken.

Love endures. Real Love lasts forever. Love is a fight to always be together. Love is learning while on life’s path; and learning from our mistakes. Love is Truly being awake. Love will always be present as long as God exists. Because ultimately, God is Love. God is bliss. When love seems far, and as if faded away. It’s because we forget God

sometimes, and we only think of ourselves everyday. We must remember God. If we get back to God… we get back to Love. God’s Love can be experienced throughout life with or without another person. Unfortunately, sometimes we make mistakes and we hurt the people that God put in our path to expand loves experience. Perhaps with people,

Love is but a leap of faith with no promises of forever. For what is Truly meant to be, only God can bring together. But presently; you must Remember… you, are never alone. God… Loves you. In your darkest days, and in your loneliest hours, remember and think of God. When someone makes you feel as if you are absolutely nothing, remember and

think of God. For God is your creator: not those… who tear you down! When you feel that all is lost, remember and think of God. For God knows no boundaries and God will find a way for you always. All you need to do: is remember and think of God. God is Love. And God seeks a unique relationship with you. I know it’s true because i feel

God’s Love everyday. To feel God… is to truly Feel love. And to truly Feel Love… is to touch the sky. It’s to feel the sun shine, not on you… but through you. It is not to walk against the wind; but to walk with it! To feel These Things is to Know God… and to know God is to walk with The Light. People fight and kill in the name of Love. But why?

Truly… Love Never Belonged To Us! It is a gift From, and Of God! And people confuse it with ownership of things. No human being can ever truly own love by presentation of a ring. For a person to even come close to honing in on the essence of the realest experience of love, they must genuinely seek to be love themselves. To seek to walk in

the love and the likeness that our creator teaches and exemplifies in himself. And such love is not pursuant of our own way of things. But in the ways that pleases God’s senses, and is pleasant in the Lord’s eyes. This is the purpose to which the spirit lives and strives! The spirit wants to awaken to and touch God. Touch Love. Many souls reach

from the pits of darkness and hopelessness, and at length of being lost, hopes to find it’s way back to God. In the presence of God is a sense of familiarity, and peace. In life, our spirits are but on a journey, waiting for God to call us home. Going home is not about death, or dying. Going home is equivalent to walking among the trees; and

recognizing that “they” too are family. Some people have eyes, but never really see… sadly. And some people learn many things but never obtain access to the hidden knowledge. Through God, we can unite with that from whence we came. You can experience this while on your path of life. But only God decides when to reveal hidden

truths, whether in death, or life! And we must remember, that there is no fooling God. So… any wrongs that we do; if we earnestly seek God’s forgiveness, and are Truly from our hearts sorry. God will be the first to forgive you, because God’s spirit is indwelling within us, and is omnipresent all around us. God’s presence may not be fully

discernible by many, but, that doesn’t mean God is not present. God sees all, but not with eyes. God hears all, but not with ears. God knows the hearts of all of his creation. And when one puts their faith in God. One puts their faith in Love. God is the foundation and the cornerstone of the most loving relationships; whether it’s a

relationship between friends, family, or lovers. Relationships fall apart when people interfere with, or abandon God’s will. Spiritual energy is a real and tangible thing, emitting from and felt by spirit! Some people use this energy in addition to their actions to impress upon others their negative aspirations, wishes and desires. And to this, is

where a person can fall. Life. It is but a maze, and quintessential testing grounds… sifting through the very core nature of who we all are. And the person administering the test… is GOD. We judge ourselves and others, but God is the ultimate Judge of all character, and he knows why people fall and what circumstances led up to that. So

therefore trust God. And earnestly seek his guidance. God will in due time discipline all his children. And to those that sincerely love God, you need not fear the discipline, for the discipline is only a correction and redirection for you to go the right way forward. For God is always aware of those that plot and scheme for the benefit of themselves.

And in the midst of jealousy and envy from others… and in trusting our own ways… we sometimes lose sight of that ever pointing finger of God, pointing us in the direction we should go. And we temporarily become enveloped in someone else’s dark cloud of ill choices. And therefore we become subject to many experiences of lovelessness…

sometimes by our own doing. Sometimes by someone else’s intentions. Sometimes if others feel that they have lost their way, or have been cheated out of some portion of their lives, they want to see you lose some portion of your life as well; and in doing so, this gives them a false sense of balance, and control. Unfortunately, misery does love

company, whether you are directly in the presence of that miserable person or not. Some miserable, faithless people have nothing better to do, than to find ways to drag others into their experience of miserable energy. Earnestly seeking and having faith in God and in the power of Love always, can end these dark cycles. God’s love is endless,

boundless, and beyond all knowledge. To successfully complete this spiritual journey and to Truly experience the gift of Love in all it’s fullness, is to… as the saying goes “Let Go… and Let God.” Love… Love is always dwelling around us. Caressing our skin in the breeze. Love is always beckoning us. Inspiring us to… touch. Love is only but a flower…

reaching for the sun. Wanting to experience the warmth, to soak it up, to breathe life into itself. Never say hurtful things, or lay your hands on someone you love, for they can become like flowers slowly dying and eventually blowing away as burned ash in the wind. People so easily give up on one another when they shouldn’t. Each other is

Truly all we have. The treasure is the person beyond the flesh. Money can’t buy this immaterial being. This soul, this spirit, this life seen beyond the eyes. See people for everything that they are, and not for what you wish them to be. Some people, all they see is imperfection and inconsistency. And at the end of the day: if you can’t love the

person that someone is, then simply step away for good, if you need to, and let God love them properly! That’s the solution. There’s no confusion. Don’t accept things that hurt you, but also understand that causing others pain is not a remedy to a problem either. Always Love, and know that as long you live from a platform of Love in your life,

and allow love to be your foundation. Love will help you find a better way forward. All we need to do is align our hearts and minds with it, and trust it. To trust Love, is to trust God. Remember: Love is a Gift from… and of… God. And God gives endless love, as God so desires it… The Greatest Relationship. The Ultimate Bliss.

Beauty isn't a performance, we don’t twerk for a cause. We rise in solidarity. United strength changes laws. Power is in the spirit, in the mind, in the soul. Power is not in how many body parts one can grab, and hold.

If you want to be respected, know that your body is not a commodity. And yes, you should be proud of your beauty. But don’t let it go to your head. We don’t forge a path forward, by offering ourselves in bed.

And i bet she got them flavors. I bet her twerk is mean. But them things ain’t for everybody spending money on the scene. And sure you ain’t trying to lay up, and stay up with a broke lover. But you don’t truly love

yourself if for money you under covers. You up under them sheets, thinking like street walkers in the streets. And you thinking that you hot. You like men that carry heat? And what you going to say when you

find that you lost your way? When you finally meet God because you got shot in the face? You got that lingerie? It look hot on you today! But are you really safe, running around with your lace. Sure he down to

ride, until he start to catch a case. You certain that he love you? Or that he might lay your body to waste? Don’t waste… time. Elevate your mind. You can be intelligent, pursue your own wealth, and stay fly.

Yeah, you look fine. But don’t let your looks mess with your mind. Sure; you can be captivating. Hear what i’m saying. It’s your *ss at the party! It’s your *ss he displaying. But you still having fun.

Everything seems right. You got your man, got your money, got your car, got your hype! But you influencing others to follow in your path. The dark night of the soul… will be the aftermath. You see, there is always, the one.

The one that is on the prowl, the one that wants to see you lead astray. Away from God’s love as soon as… now! Away from God’s gifts. And you don’t believe it, because you can’t see it? But, what you can see… is the comedy and

the tragedy! The industry, the entertainment, and the system… that ultimately causes many to fall. Open your eyes to the scheme of it all. See where humanity is meant to fail. See that the more you lose your way, the more that others

rise. It is a power dynamic playing out right before your eyes. Men are dying, women are dying, because of the images we choose to lift up and project. Are these images showing the strength of our ancestors, our people, or

neglect? What is true wealth and where does it come from? First off, true wealth is knowing that love isn’t for sell. True wealth is individual growth, mental growth, spiritual growth, physical growth, family growth. And… financial

growth, yes, but not growing financially while selling your soul. You see, the goal is for you to lose your way, and forget. This truth is hidden deep within the recesses of the spirit and mind. And it takes true discernment, and pure intentions

to find. And when you seek out money in a way that elevates it, as more important than considering God. You fall into the lie. And the truth seems a facade. And so you have a decision to make in this life. And i suggest you dig deep. Because

discovering the truth when it’s to late… the price to pay is to steep. And i’m not talking about Hell. I’m talking about missing a true Heaven. You can get lost from it in your pursuits of a material life. There are gifts that God is waiting to give

you when you are ready! And the longer you take to get ready, possibly lifetimes… and the more lost you become and the more astray you go, the more the gift is lost and the connection is broken. Seek the power of the truth that is always spoken!

Your breasts, like pearls. Your body brings ecstasy. This gift is meant to parallel the feeling of Heaven and it is a gift from God: not meant to be exploited by anybody! Only lost ones, and dark hearts seek the exploitation of the gifts of the light.

Sex is a gift and God provided it, because God is Love. God gave the gift of Life. Therefore, God stands Above! Consider God in all matters. Consider God with Love. You do this, and you will perceive beings that are of Heaven. This i know to be

True. Then all successes will be in reach, not only financially, but spiritually. If this is something you don’t care about, than continue to do you. Just keep in mind that our children's children will be screwed! Our descendants, always failing!

Why, because if we don’t lead Our people in the “right” direction, who will? We can lead simply by living decent lives, and being a positive influence, but instead, we put our bodies up for give and take. And there’s always people waiting in the

shadows, waiting to point out our flaws, and our mistakes! We call ourselves goddesses, queens, princesses and more. So why influence women, and young girls to act like whores?! This is what some women do! And just because they may be

educated doesn’t make it right. Manipulated, manipulative fools… Following these self proclaimed so called “Kings” that exploit you! Notice the relationship drama on television or at home? Notice the declining importance of life and love, and the

rising importance of primitiveness in relations to sex? Notice the pain, and needless killings inflicted from one person to the next. Is your worth really Valued in the world? Products… of a clever ruse, meant to Stop your peoples Evolution and

cause Your People to Disappear off the face of the Planet, One by One, and to never discover your gifts from God. This is the resulting future… of female empowerment fraud.

"I read something good the other day, what the hell was it? Oh, it's that thing I'm writing. Nevermind."

Hey guys,

My name is ExJohn and I am making this post on behalf of CEObrainz (Ainz on Discord).

From CEObrainz

I am a writer and editor for a few Light Novel translations. However, I come to you today as one of the founders of Western Lights, a group that intends on writing and publishing Light Novel-type content for general consumption.

I want to bring to your attention this initiative that I’m working on with quite a few others.

The Number of Light Novels from western sources is abysmally low, there are very few worth checking out and those that do exist are sometimes hard to find.

We want to take the idea of self-published Light Novel books in the west a step further by developing a system where we can publish under the same banner whilst maintaining a certain level of quality. Already we have amassed a number of authors, editors and artists that are all working towards creating content that we hope to market one day.

We are currently in the midst of creating a website to display and advertise our content. There will be Web Novels (free to read) as well as links to purchase physical and ebooks of Light Novels that we create. We hope that when the time comes you do check us out.

However, we're still in our recruitment phase. If you feel that you have talent as a Writer, Artist or Editor than please feel free to check us out, the link will be at the bottom of the post.

Authors

If you have any writing ability or have a story you wish to spread this is your opportunity. Work with us to help develop your story, writing style and overall ability. We also take on those people that feel they aren't as confident in our writing. One of our goals is to increase the number of writers out there and expose them to groups that can positively increase their ability to produce quality content.

Editors

Not the fanciest of positions but certainly a needed one, we’re looking for trustworthy editors to help the proofreading process. The more experience you have the better, though none is needed. Though there isn't much to be said about this role, we do expect authors to also learn a level of editing skill, which helps everyone in the long run. Being able to spot plot holes, inconsistent character traits as well as general grammar/spelling is key to this role.

Artists

If you have the ability to draw and want to see your content in books (one day in the future) than we might be the place for you. By working with us you can increase exposure for your work whilst being within reach of a community that can commision you without having to advertise yourself as much as before.

Contact us!

If you are interested or know anyone suitable that would like to join our growing group, please join our Discord and follow the instructions in the welcome message: https://discord.gg/7YdAx3W Thanks for taking the time to read this message and I hope you look forward to reading our content in the future!

I created a writing discord. We have movie events, writing competitions, and over 600 (usually friendly) people. We're really one big family and always looking for another member! https://discord.gg/vNKRWDg

Malevolent Soap is an independent, self-published, non-profit journal of poetry and fiction.

We're based in Melbourne, Australia, but our issues feature emerging and established voices from around the planet. We publish annually.

Anything goes, but we're partial to imagistic work that explores intersections of 'high' and 'low' culture. Whether it invokes Nicolas Cage as muse or bemoans Rick Deckard's overconsumption of MSG in verse, we're interested. We champion concrete aesthetics, reference, fusion and oddity.

Our debut issue is slated for release on September 1. Submissions are open until July 1.

Please only submit writing that hasn't previously been published. Simultaneous submissions are fine as long as we're notified immediately in the event of acceptance elsewhere.

Should your work be accepted, it'll be edited in collaboration with you. Should it be declined, you'll receive some feedback.

We pay $20 AUD per piece. Our coffers are very shallow, but we believe that writers should be paid for their work.

In exchange for this payment, you grant us exclusive first print and electronic rights to publish your writing. Two months after its date of publication, all rights revert to you. You may then publish it in other print and electronic publications as long as we're appropriately credited as its original point of issue.

To submit, visit us on the interwebz.

Hello,

I have entered a contest to win a free cover design for my novel. I've fulfilled the requirements and just need votes to win. I'm currently in third place and need a huge backing to take over first.

Winning this contest would be a huge emotional boost to my ego and help drive my writing into the next level. If you could lend me your time and vote for "The Puzzle" by Nick Langis, here:

Thanks! Nick

#Greetings, /r/redditwritersnetwork.

Here are some guidelines for submissions:

For Non-Fiction - We are looking for articles that range in length from 2000 to 5000 words. The topics we intend to cover are broad, and include politics, economics, technology, sociology, and culture.

Compensation:

Since we are still in our infancy as a magazine, we are limited in terms of how we can compensate our published authors. That said, we do want to compensate any and all contributors. Here's what we've come up with as a way to repay you guys for helping make the magazine possible:

Any writers who are published within our October issue will receive a subscription to our monthly digital download version of the magazine (launching in November) as well as a one year subscription to the print edition of our quarterly magazine, which will feature the best content from our site (and maybe a few exclusives). We know that it's not much, but we hope that our humble gesture can serve as the start of a great relationship between us and all you talented authors out there (plus, we happen to think the subscriptions will be really kick-ass).

So please, if you or anyone you know may be interested in getting published within our magazine, give us a shout!

Any additional questions about our submission guidelines or the magazine in general can be sent to us via email or here on reddit.

##We look forward to reading your submissions!
