Welcome to the home for writers. As a general guideline, comments and comment threads containing repeated insults or curses are disallowed, as is any advocacy in favor of bigotry. Steve Gillman's experiences inspired a website about odd businesses and jobs, which in turn led to writing.

I don't believe anyone has ever said that about rape scenes. Do fathers still abandon their children?

As the author, you can write whatever you want. However, it's up to the audience if they like it or not. : writing

Welcome to the home for writers. We talk about important matters for writers, news affecting writers, and the finer aspects of the writing write whatever you want. Please keep these guidelines in mind for all of your posts and comments. Please to verify yourself before posting. Rule 1: Post Quality Standards 1a Posts Must Be Related to Writing: All submissions must be directly related to writing. Posts tangentially related to writing are more likely to be removed at moderator discretion. Vague or de minimis posts are more likely to be removed at moderator discretion. Rule 2: Critique Prohibition 2 All requests for feedback, critique partners, beta readers, or any associated elements of work critique must be put in the Weekly Critique Thread stickied to the front page. Individual threads asking for direct critique, even as minimal as a single line of dialogue, will be removed. Requests for feedback on story ideas or synopses may also be removed at moderator discretion. Furthermore, if you are looking for help with your homework, please visit. Rule 3: Sharing Violation 3 Posts focused only on self-acknowledgement or life events are not allowed in individual threads. This includes your own writing when not seeking feedback and especially when seeking views or salespersonal blogs, publication acceptance or rejection, stories you really like, or humorous images. If your post does not have actual questions related to writing, or otherwise primarily concerns personal matters, it is more likely to be removed at moderator discretion. Rule 4: Insufficient Call for Submission Info 4 Calls for submissions including posts inquiring about miscellaneous writing work for pay must include 1 payment information; 2 submission deadlines; 3 rights requested; and 4 any other relevant information. Please limit yourself to one or two posts per publishing cycle. Submission calls that do not include this information are likely to removed at moderator discretion. Rule 5: Abusive, Threatening, or Harassing Comments 5 Please report any rule-breaking posts, as well as abusive comments or harassment. Civility will be enforced, but spirited discourse can often blur the line between acceptable and unacceptable behavior. As a general guideline, comments and comment threads containing repeated insults or curses are disallowed, as is any advocacy in favor of bigotry. Keep general reddiquette in mind. Breaking other rules are typically subject only to removal, but repeatedly or egregiously breaking rule 5 will likely result in a subreddit ban. Help keep the subreddit clean and on-topic by using the report feature to bring attention to rule-breaking posts. If you have any questions about these guidelines, please contact the moderators. And he does a pretty solid job of that. None of his books are anything someone would have said they wanted to read beforehand in terms of write whatever you want and plot yet he pulls them off very well. I also like just how varied his books are, almost never returning to the same themes or even genre twice. I made a post along these lines some write whatever you want ago. Nobody needs permission to write what they want. Of course the other side as you point out is true as well - Everyone else in the market can choose to read or dismiss whatever they want. This goes for subject matter as well as rules of writing. I do believe novice writers should learn the rules so they understand when and how to break them, but go nuts experimenting. Yeah, I find it almost disheartening the number of posts on this sub of people asking if it's Okay to write about. X subject or group of people. No one can tell you what not to write, but they do have the right to not like it. That's one of the beauties of freedom. Sadly, these days, Twitter mobbing is a thing. I don't believe of course that this is criticism, and these types of actions should be reserved only for the most egregious behavior Though, I've seen very little, if any, twitter mobs going after authors for what they wrote in fiction. It's pretty easily defensible that writing about bad things, isn't supporting nor condoning those things. Though, Write whatever you want seen very little, if any, twitter mobs going after authors for what they wrote in fiction Be careful if your work has a following on tumblr, then, because there's entire communities that are all about criticizing fiction. Mainly calling out toxic villains. It seems to leak over to twitter a bit but it's not as bad there, I think. Lol, Luckily I have no following, and I'm in the process of seeking traditional publishing. Mainly the stuff I wish that I could of had to read when I was a kid But good looking out. The idea of a toxic villain sounds strange to me. I know, it sounds completely illogical and it is. Usually people direct hate toward fans of certain villains, and of course there are tons of posts dissecting toxic villainy and why X villain is unforgivable and everyone who remotely like them are toxic too, etc etc. It's still weird imho because to me the best villains were always the ones who we saw a bit of ourselves in, or we were secretly rooting for them to turn good. Otherwise you're just writing flat, cartoonish, mustache-twirling bad guys who live as plot devices. I try to write stuff that kid me would've loved. I'm not super good at writing scifi but part of me will always be wanting to pay some sort of homage to the great scifi I read when I was little. But, there was always that hope, and being that he was very young, that he would see how evil and scary and destructive the reality of Voldemort was compared to the boogyman lord-of-darkness idea of him. These are good villains for sure. And people love, and love to fall in love with complex characters, good or bad. A hero can do something good for selfish reasons, and villain can do something bad for virtuous reasons. Then you have brilliant villains like Umbridge. Someone who thinks their good. They have no idea that they are a sadist, that they revel in the misery of others. She believes that in her heart that she is fighting a lie and that her methods are necessary and justified. The beauty is that even if she was right, and Harry was lying for attention, her methods are still inexcusable, and she is still evil. I believe Stephen King was even quoted saying that Umbridge is one of the greatest, scariest villains ever written But who hasn't had the thought that they'd love to read a 'what-if' version of a story. Where the Hobbits lose the ring. Or Vader successfully turns Luke to the dark side. Sadly, some people have absolutely zero creativity or ability to think critically. And, like Umbridge, believe in their hearts that only the most vile people could possibly entertain such a thought. Lol every time I watch a Star Wars movie and the movie's villain says come to the Dark side. Which was probably the most interesting thing about the prequels for me. And even if the bad guy does win, that can just be another obstacle for your character. It's really the best part of fiction imho: complex characters and their mental and physical struggles against and within the Dark side. Also I'm definitely going to start mentally using the Umbridge metaphor now whenever I see that mindset online now. Sidenote, I love to hate her like most people but for some reason I've always loved her musical theme in the movies. Now I want to rewatch Order of the Phoenix. On the one hand, it's good that people see children having sex is bad. On the other it's sad that people can't tell the difference between actually supporting things, and just depicting them happening. It's a dangerous game to play with the mind when we agree that something is bad, therefore we should all pretend it doesn't exist and never think about it. Whether we are thinking that it's bad or whatever the context is, it's like even mentioning something is automatically being in full support of it and saying how great it is. I don't know where that came from. But I agree, there is a very important difference between 15-17yr olds having sex, and people under, say, 11. In the original context, which I imagine is what you are talking about for seemingly no reason, yeah, teenagers under 18 are technically not write whatever you want, they can conceptually consent to sex. It's pretty easily defensible that writing about bad things, isn't supporting nor condoning those things. A lot of people didn't get that memo. If a rape happens, people will get upset saying it wasn't necessary and you're trivializing real rape by making it part of something commercial. If you have someone of a given nationality and you are not that nationality, you are appropriating or exploiting. If you have someone speak in slang or patois, you are appropriating or exploiting. In some cases these are valid concerns, and people should be conscious of these issues. But in many cases people are just out to get likes and retweets, so they will snatch any low-hanging fruit like casting shade on your writing and hot-taking the shit out of you without asking your intent first. Yeah, that shit gives me heartburn. So I get to just make up entire species, and in my scifi, it's so far in the future that human's all look pretty similar, and barely anyone notices the aesthetic variances within a species. Most human's haven't even been to Earth which is a shithole now It's both amazing, and terrible that everyone has a voice that can reach everyone now. Well, anyone on whatever specific platform they're using. And people have always loved to bandwagon. I don't believe anyone has ever said that about rape scenes. Perhaps you're confusing it with criticism of rape scenes that are designed to be entertaining and from the point of view of the rapist, because that is something a lot of people talk about. Also nobody is going to be saying anything negative at all about what most of the people here write because no-one is reading it. It's most applicable to everything art, at all times. A lot of artists forget or reject this. They think that the art is in the object, like a hunk of pressed pulp or pigments splashed on surfaces or write whatever you want skins pounded on. The art is in the expression and in the reception. This is easily demonstrated anywhere with any art and any people. But it's more than just how they like it. You can have any theme you want, but the audience is not beholden to that. They will see whatever theme they are prepared to see, unless you have a guy at the end saying, the moral of this tale is. Anything and everything that is not explicit is open to interpretation and it will be interpreted by others, not the author. That's the nature of the thing. You are expressing yourself, by creating it. They are expressing themselves, by translating it to their own world. This is often a dividing line economically, as well; I write fiction and make decent income of pulp fiction. It's much easier to sell a simple story well told than it is to sell something that is linguistically or intellectually challenging, or even diverse enough to put interpretation in the reader's hands. You can see it in how people review them; stories written for the sake of a plot or narrative tend to have their fans, if they're good, and they pretty much all like it. Stories written with a more complex series of arcs, characters and messages are nearly always either extreme of 'one star' or 'five star. Complexity divides the readership and is considered with a more critical eye. When you write, you need to decide who you're writing for. Are you writing for an audience. Then you may need to make some concessions. If it doesn't get published, who cares. If you enjoyed writing it write whatever you want your writing served its purpose. I've published parts of my story on fiction forums and received some interest feedback. One person even told me that what I wrote wasn't how it was supposed to happen. I lol'd and told them that it was precisely how it happened and how it will always happen. It's nice receiving positive feedback, but like it or not, I like it and enjoyed writing it down. That makes me the happiest at the end of the write whatever you want. I got in to a reddit argument the other day with someone who was certain that them stooping down to pick up a rose was a complete story. But they kept insisting that was all they needed to do. No—if done right, anyone would want to read it. But it would take real brilliance to think of a way to do it right. Try telling this to my psychologist. This is a very personal opinion, but for me, the writing itself - the style, the structure, the flow - is way more important than the content. That's what write whatever you want the readers. For example, Malcom Gladwell can blow my mind with 5,421 words on ketchup. I read a quote once, can't find it on google, but it went something like: You can tell a story about a blue circle that falls in unrequited love with a red square, and if you tell it right, there won't be a dry eye in the house. I believe it's the writing the audience responds to, far more than the content. Are you talking about personal passion, or in terms of actually trying to make it as an author professionally. Personally, hell yeah write what you want. If it's a hobby then it doesn't matter if no one reads it. You're writing for personal satisfaction. However, if you're writing professionally, then you need to be aware of not only what the market wants, but also how readers want to read. Specific genres and book types tend to be written in specific ways. Your style and vocabulary needs to be tailored to your readers, and being aware of what the market is doing is an absolute necessity for any writer serious about getting themselves published. Trust me on this one - I spend my days talking to publishers and agents, and advising people on how to write. While some books and writers do write whatever you want the mould, they're either lucky, or geniuses, and for most of us mere mortals, we're stuck trying to hedge our bets however we can. All in all though, the best thing you can do is write an amazing freaking book, and then hope to hell you've got enough experience and perspective to edit it into something worth reading. I'm just so stuck on the belief that no one likes what I want to write about, is all. I have a deep seated resentment I can't get rid of as a result. I write whatever you want from anime and manga mainly and want to write weird stuff like Evangelion and Shin Megami Tensei and get others to love this stuff as much as I write whatever you want. You've got to strike a balance. Lots of writers go their whole lives writing but never making anything of their writing careers because there has to be a degree of marketability in the work, and if there's a small audience, sometimes, despite the work being 'good', the potential payoff for agents or publishers might be too low. But, it's up to you to decide the next move - keep writing what you want with no regard for any success, or try to write something that you both love and that has commercial appeal if you wish to be a successful author. A piece of advice that you should always carry with you, however, is this: If you don't love what you write, how can you expect anyone else to. Be passionate about your work, be positive about it, and keep pushing it if it's something you believe in. Bradbury's 'We only fail when we stop trying' rings true in that sense.

Bottomline: If you want to be successful with your writing, the most important thing is to have some flexibility with what you write. Start with an idea, and find out as quickly as possible if it will work. Are there those who suffer from despair, ennui, narcissism, and loneliness? By Author of the Writing whatever you want, and getting paid for it… now that sounds like the life! Our website is all about helping writers succeed. And there are many besides Google AdSense. When you write every day, it becomes a habit. By the way, you might wonder whether to write fiction or nonfiction. Mark Twain was forty-one before he published Tom Sawyer. I made a post along these lines some time ago. Perhaps you're confusing it with criticism of rape scenes that are designed to be entertaining and from the point of view of the rapist, because that is something a lot of people talk about.
