ThreadInterludes, when and how?
Everyone who's read Worm and Wormfic has had more than their share of interludes, tiny chapters that cut to other characters reacting to whatever wacky stunt the main character's pulled now. Or, even worse, PHO interludes, where the writer roleplays an entire forum. This is less of a thing in other fandoms for whatever reason, but still, the question remains: can interludes be done well? If so, how does an interlude qualify as good?

Writing Web Serials
In recent years, web serials have become more and more popular. I'm mostly thinking of stuff on royalroad, examples of which are He Who Fights With Monsters, Everybody Loves Large Chests, or xianxia things (see wuxiaworld and the smattering of things recommended on DLP already).

So is anyone planning on giving National Novel Writing Month a go this year? For the (I am assuming few) people who are not aware NaNoWriMo is a competition that you win by writing 50,000 words of a novel in one month (November). There is no other criteria other than you manage to get the words in. Nobody is going to judge whether its good enough or anything. Can be on anything, including fanfiction so long as you write it within that month. I think to manage it you need to average 1,666...

ThreadWriting Advice Thread
I'm hoping to do a few things with this thread: Guide Writers - Compile a guide for writers. This is going to become my central repository for writing advice so I can just quote myself every time I have to explain something on WBA for the umpteenth time. Feel free to contribute to this. Eventually, I will be making a Google Doc with what I consider the "best" or most polished advice and group them according to subtopics. Resource Repository - Collate the useful writing resources and tidbits...
