I need a pimp-hat icon, 'cause I'm a pimpin'! ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
matociquala (aka elizabethbear) has created a new mailing list and an LJ community for writers.
To quote her: "Words in Common is a place for writers and editors of all stripes--professional, semipro, hobby and fan--and all genres to get together and talk as peers about the craft, art, and business of writing.
Critiques are not exchanged on list. However, participants are welcome to use the list to meet people who may serve as first readers and betas
I expect conversation about literature, book recommendations, and so forth will also be treated with delight. Everybody's welcome, as long as they'e interested in writing and open to learning. The hope is that it will form a place where the community of writers is comfortable, and mentorships and friendships can be formed.
There's an associated livejournal community here: words_in_common
I've agreed to be one of the co-mods, though why I do not know, because I know squat about the craft of writing. I'm very seat-of-the-pants about writing, as I am in most other aspects of my life. :-)
So far I don't see many familiar names there, which I would love to see change. We would VERY much like to have fanfic authors there as well as the other assorted types. It is a community based on mutual respect, something fanfic authors don't often get a lot of.
