What I Wrote and Why: the support thread

[StillStunned]

Okay, that sounds marginally better than "why-whoa" I've been saying in my head so far

That's what I imagine the readers say when they read our WIWAWs!

 

[Kumquatqueen]

I was thinking wee-waw. Somewhere between war and nee-nahs.

(Do non-Brits refer to emergency service vehicles as nee-nahs?)

 

[alohadave]

So with the event set to start tomorrow, I'm wondering whether I should write a WIWAW about the very first WIWAW...

WIWWIWAW?

YES!

 

[StillStunned]

I think I'll save it for my autobiography. You know, after I make it big as a Lit author.

My submission was just approved for tomorrow. I wonder how many others are lined up, and I'm curious to find out how readers react when all of a sudden the New list is flooded with writers droning on about themselves and their stories.

There is a full moon on the 21st. Should go well with our narcissism...

It could turn into a reality show. Readers get to vote writers off unless we win a challenge.

 

[Erozetta]

Submitted something. Not exactly an essay as I haven't written one since college, but it's written in an informative, even if informal, style. Hopefully it passes muster.

 

[AchtungNight]

My piece should post around 1 am today.

 

[StillStunned]

They're live!

 

[StillStunned]

By my count, there are sixteen WIWAWs up today. Sixteen! That's amazing, people, well done! I'm going to try and get a few more up over the next few weeks, work permitting.

WIWAW - Dead Space: Kendra can be found here. This was a fun little exercise, @StillStunned! I'll have to consider trying it again in the future.

Read and rated that one too. I was quite productive this morning.

This was a fun little exercise, @StillStunned! I'll have to consider trying it again in the future.

I was just thinking: over the past 6 months or so, I've given the AH these WIWAWs and Writing Exercises. I feel like I'm the responsible adult who makes everyone do their homework.

(But I'm glad you had fun anyway.)

You just made us all your subs.

How are we going to call it? Litdom?

Subs? With you lot it's like herding cats. I've never done BDSM, but I can't imagine that it's like this.

Here is mine! https://literotica.com/s/what-i-wrote-and-why-ftw
Great little distraction from the disaster that has been my life this weekend.
I am considering writing another.

 

[lovecraft68]

I kind of botched this. Maybe its meds or lack of sleep due to the pain I've been in, but I didn't put WIWAW in the title of my story. I referenced it in the author's note, and in the note box but not the title. And there's one dumb type...that I saw, could be more.

Regardless, this may be the most traffic reviews and essays has ever seen in one day.

It's listed together with all the other stories, so for now at least it's safe to assume everyone will guess it's part of the event.

And unless you've written about how meticulous you are with your spelling and grammar, I don't think anyone is going to downvote you for a typo or two.

I've submitted mine for publication, but also here - https://forum.literotica.com/threads/what-i-wrote-and-why-the-ghost-of-benanee.1614325/, mainly because I want to post photos of the area my ghost lived in.
