I'm a web developer and writer.
Infinite Alchemy stands for the seemingly infinite nature of the human imagination and experience and the seemingly infinite possibilities of Artificial Intelligence to enhance, bootstrap, and revolutionise human civilisation, understanding, and wellbeing. The alchemy is in taking the base elements of human experience, AI engineering and technology, and human creativity and forming it into compelling stories that serve as expression for the human experience in a time of rapid and exponentially accelerating technological advancement.
The core output of the magazine is literature. It is not limited to this. Other art forms will be weaved into the fabric of the magazine.
It aims to challenge the notion that human artists will be displaced, replaced, and overshadowed by AI. At least until AGI proves otherwise, but at that point we have bigger problems than it surpassing us artistically.
It is fundamentally about using AI as a tool to stretch and expand the human imagination and creative productivity.
It's this:

Recently moved to Indiana from NY, wondering if there are any writers, creators, artists out there who wanna chat? Where can I find creative people here?
Hi there!
I am looking for readers for my sci-fi novel. The full draft is 87000 words. Been sitting on it for a while and I want to move to publishing.
Here is the SHORT summary:
" Follow Chris Khan as his life quickly changes from working on his family's farm to becoming the last astronaut to leave Earth in search of a new home for humanity. He finds much more than he could have ever expected, and begins to question reality as he knows it. "
Cheers! And thanks for the consideration!

Im looking for a long-ish term chat with 1-4 people where we can send eachother our work and give eachother feedback. I say long term cause I like the idea of getting to know eachother's writing style and opinions, but if you have a story and some feedback, send a dm, no commitment.
My elevator pitch for my novel is: a scifi fantasy, character driven story, set in an infinite world with infinite people. Immortality has been achieved and everyone lives in a functionally infinite, self replicating machine called the Edifice
If youre interested, drop a comment with a little bit about your interests in fiction and your writing or just send me a DM
Hello as stated in the title I’m a new writer and this is my first story and hopefully book. I’m writing a fantasy story and just need over all feed back and cretics. I have the first few chapters down and to me it sounds good and reads well. Then again I am the writer. Can anyone help me out?

You know, we'll see. Looking for another lonely lovesick writer. Send me a writing sample.
Hey on a similar vibe to that of the SCP Foundation, my and some mates have made a server on Discord focused on the crafting and feedback of short works of dark fantasy/science fiction/horror. The project is still fairly small and haves admins active on all Americas (UTC-5, UTC-6, UTC-7, UTC-8) and United Kingdoms (UTC+1). The overall objective is having fun and growing as creators.
I'm in the midst of a series of short YA fantasci-fi books and would like a critique of a sample at first, then possibly chapter by chapter or the entirety of the first manuscript.
I will critique and help edit or just pitch ideas back at you, depending on your needs.
Synopsis: Interdimensional Investigations Initiative When a university professor opens a portal to another dimension, the high school kids on the field trip get a lot more than they expected. When the impossible, inevitable invasion begins streaming out of the incision, Ryan's life will never be the same.
I have 15 stories, a character bible, extensive notes on locations, story ideas, etc. I have a BLACK sense of humor, I thought I was writing humor fiction, ala Pratchet, but the first Reddit Reviewer commented that "Horror, even when told from the perspective of a sociopath with a really good sense of humor, is still horror". Think "X-Files" or "Agents of Shield". Think a narrator who debates "I could snap their picture and slap a tracker on their car and follow up tomorrow, OR I could just toss a grenade into the group of them and go home for a beer...." before deciding "Nah, having to explain to my team, why I used a frag grenade on 4 teenagers would be bad. Killing civilians is "Bad". Remember that..."
I am looking for someone to read, comment, reply, suggest, mock, etc. my stuff. I am more than happy to read other peoples (short) fiction (I have a life that consists of multiple short term crisis ever day, which means I need to be able to put down and pick back up frequently. Long novels I get lost trying to remember WTF is going on.) https://richard2fiction.wordpress.com/
Hello everyone. I'm a game modder, and right now I'm working with a group of creative individuals to make a DLC sized horror mod for Elder Scrolls Skyrim. This labor of love is intended to be a story driven, character focused adventure that lets the player make meaningful role play choices. The story is centered around the return of a powerful necromancer from within the games lore called Mannimarco. As a group we're working tirelessly to make as polished and professional a mod as possible. However it has taken much longer than we thought as we have a very weak writing department. The overall plot is locked down at this point, as is Act 1. We need the rest of the storyline fleshed out with scenes and dialogue to bring it alive in game. Right now, finding writers that will join us has become high priority. We are reaching out to all corners of the internet looking for writers whom have the passion, time, and skill to help us succeed at making something fun and engaging for people to enjoy for free. If this sounds interesting at all to you, then please feel free to audition some work over at these forums: www.darkcreations.org/forums/topic/9528-writer-auditions Also feel free to pass this along to anyone you know that may be interested in this project. :) This is not a for profit endeavor, it is creation for creations sake. We also have no hard and fast deadline for willing participants, we welcome any volunteers at any time that have the skills we need. We would like to complete this project by Halloween.
Anyone interested in submitting or somehow contributing - inbox me NOW while I still feel perky about the idea, or forever hold your peace.
Hi there. I'm looking for someone to talk stories to. I'd like a mutual relationship where we both talk about plots, characters, and overall story writing. I don't want to be the only person receiving or giving feedback.
I like writing short stories, tandem stories, and writing prompts. I'm most comfortable writing fantasy, however, I do enjoy getting out of my comfort zone and writing other forms of fiction.
Overall, I'd like to improve my writing skills with someone and have someone who will give me raw/brutal feedback on my writing.
Feel free to pm me or leave a comment. Thank you very much for your time.
Hello. I'm looking to find someone to discuss my story on a more intimate level than just "Here's the synopsis, what do you think?" I have details plans for the first 2.5 books, and a general idea for the other 2.5, and one scene written. I'm what they call an 'architect' and want to hear some detailed feedback before I get too attached to my current story. I'm located on the east coast of the US and have a lot of free time to discuss my story. I am willing to discuss your story as well. Be warned though, I'll want to talk to you a little first before I just send out my work to a stranger on the internet.
EDIT: I am open to working with more than one person. Don't be shy because I've already gotten a response.
Hello,
I have plans to do a short story collection based on the idea of representing many recurring characters in a town, much like how Stephen Leacock described small town life.
These stories would be published as an ebook.
I'm looking for one (or two) collaborators to help write and develop stories and characters.
Hey all,
I realize that the subreddit is mostly novel writers. I write a one or two page monthly article for a community magazine (it's no pay submissions). I've submitted July and Aug (both printed) and September (awaiting print) and I'm working on a two page spread featured article for October.
I write about a hobby (beer) and I'm working on becoming a better writer, but I'd love someone to do a quick review of my text. I mostly need help with paragraph transitions. Coming from the tech background, I'm used to writing paragraph of tech specs then leaping into next paragraph of more stuff. So when writing magazine articles, I feel that I need to work on flow/transitions and how to properly quote real people and maintain the flow.
Anyways, any tips or help would be appreciated. Send me PM if interested or if there's any web sites/pages that might help just let me know.
Thanks
In the spirit of helping a small subreddit I thought I'd ask for help with a tiny project. The conspiracy is to kidnap a governmental official in a dystopic city, and I'd like to have a perfectly planned conspiracy to lure her out of protection and capture her - so easy a group of oppressed, disgruntled citizens could do the kidnapping. This would basically be the plot of a book I'd like to write. I should note that nothing is true and everything is permitted, which means that we can make up facts about the plot/setting as we go along to cater to this conspiracy. No restrictions! If it sounds cool it's going in.
If you are a fan of anarchism, conspiracies, and bringing down governments one plot at a time a la Crusader Kings II, please apply!
*You don't need to be a man to apply. I am up to date with my cooties vaccinations, after all.
Hey everyone, I'm Courtney. My group has been functioning for two or three weeks now, and we seem to be doing pretty good. We have ten active members, and a few others that have expressed interest. At the moment we are doing kind of a one on one free for all, but we have several different group events in the works. We're also currently Skype only, but with the intention of expanding into other platforms as well. Right now we're working with fantasy and sci-fi, and work over multiple time zones, from CEST to PST.
If you're interested, PM me with your skype name, or send a contact request to SailorDerp on skype.
