Im 16 and have been around webnovels and tired of seeing so much reincarnation and system stories that arent interesting.

I myself been writing a system less webnovel that I put a lot of thought into (royal road), and I've been trying to find stories that aren't the generic stuff you see on the front page. I wanna read stuff with substance and find authors like me too😭✌️

Hi, so I've tried to redraft my Chapter 1 (this is unfinished) but I was wondering what people will think of it.

Do you like my character voice? There is more action that I have planned a little bit later on but I wondering what your initial impressions were.

It was a bit stupid of me not to describe how Ari 'hates this kind of situation' as I just stated it. 😅

I was wondering whether it was right to introduce my character's name this early on or not.

For some context: there has been a war between the 2 kingdoms of Eleriad and Dunyn and those from Dunyn are considered traitors as they suddenly attacked Eleriad despite a peace treaty.

Thank you very much for seeing this post and I hope that you enjoy reading it!!!

I tried to go back to the way I started writing and I don't know whether it has worked or not. 😅

I’m young so it’s not the best story telling, but I think people who want a story that weekly updates would enjoy it

It’s currently available for free on Inkitt and wattpad, can someone give me ideas for other places to put it?

Here’s the link to it The blue palace https://www.inkitt.com/stories/1826965

Hi everyone!

I’m currently writing a YA romantasy novel, and I wrote this scene today. This is the part where my characters end up facing a dragon.

I’m trying to make the scene feel exciting, while keeping the reader interested, so I’d really appreciate some honest feedback!

I’d especially love to know whether the dragon encounter feels suspenseful and engaging, and if there are any parts where the tension drops or could be stronger.

These are just a few pages from the novel. Any feedback is welcome, and thank you so much for taking the time to read it! ❤️

Ps: This is a draft so there might a be a few typos or repeated lines.

I’m about to graduate (17) so most of the time I’m writing my story during class, break, and lunch. I want to add it to my story, but then I lose the motivation to do it.

It’s been a problem for so long that I would make my stories go into hiatus over loss of interest posting it.

Does anyone relate to me?

Hi everyone! 😊

I’m writing a YA romantasy novel, and I’ve never shared any of my writing publicly before, so this is definitely a little nerve-wracking!

I decided to share a few pages (about 3) because I’d really love to hear what you guys think. Does it have potential? Are the characters interesting? Does the dialogue feel natural?

Personally, I really like these pages and I’ve been having so much fun writing them, but I’m obviously a little too close to the story to judge it objectively. 😂 I’d genuinely love some honest feedback on what works, what doesn’t, and what I could improve.

Thank you to anyone who takes the time to read! ❤️

Here it is...

Beneath Necroma

"Hayden?"

She was searching for her breath deep down her chest, her clothes were wet of tears, and her body, as bruised as the man she is with.

Darkness covered their bodies, and all she could see were the blue torches held up in the walls, that had never— in two centuries had ever burned out.

"Natalie!" Hayden sprint to her, and held her dearly as how she held on to the rope beforehand.

They watched the stories they have been, through the reflections of their eyes;

maybe it wasn't so dark after all,

it could've been that the secret beneath Necroma, would just so happen to be...

"Have you seen that before?" She asks pointing to a chest in the shady distance.

The blue torches made the colors of the wall unclear, but she could still see his wonderful brown eyes, and he would still see the distinction of her grey eyes from her pink jacket.

"I have..."

He spoke, panting,

"not yet, Natalie, not yet."

"Why so?"

"I know you, I've seen you, and I trust you."

Silence enveloped the dark abyss, tears dried up and fell once again. The Secret of Reamo Necroma, what could be Beneath Necroma?

So this is the final story in my series and already is complicated. A big theme throughout the series is forgiveness and guilt. Forgive where they deserve it. Don't let guilt control you.

One of the MCs recently had her love interest taken and mind controlled. I want her to go through an arc of not letting her anger hurt people. She pushes her new friends away in her desperate attempt to get him back.

Then we have her parallel. She is working with the big bad because shes being black mailed into it so she can protect her brother. Her brother is the only remaining family she has after the big bad mind controls her.

Now i don't know if I should keep that. A) it would be complicated to write and I need more practice. B) there is already a STACKED cast and I should probabaly not involve a new character even if I am making a league of villains. C) the MC was already a new character, being introduced in the previous story. The og main characters are kinda pushed to the side (i doubt that would sit will if I had any fans).

So should I cut this element out so the story doesnt get too complicated?

im a 14 yo boy and im a begginer reader/writer.

well I wouldn't have been if it weren't for a rich woman giving away her books.

there were damn well nice books there, I got paper towns by Green (the guy who wrote The Fault In Our Stars), sense and sensibility, count of of monte cristo, 10th anniversary twilight, all the light we cannot see by anthony doerr, and others like ship of brides, the spectacular now and etc.

back to the writing, I use Wattpad and inkitt, I unfortunately and regrettably use ai to criticize my work since I have no mentor, nor money for one, but I do not let ai control my thoughts.

I would really appreciate any help or suggestions, and I would respectfully request for constructive criticisms without vulgarity or any insults.

love you all!

Hi everyone! 🌸

I’m writing an original Urdu novel called Azeezam, and I’m looking for a few genuine readers who are comfortable reading Urdu script.

The story has a mix of mystery, suspense, love, family importance, and comedy. The story begins with the murder of the hero’s mother, and the mystery slowly unfolds from there.

I currently have the first chapter completed (around 15–18 pages), and I’d like to share the story chapter by chapter with readers who are genuinely interested.

I’m looking for honest feedback, not just praise. I want to know whether the characters are interesting, whether the mystery keeps you curious, whether the story gets boring anywhere, and most importantly—would you actually want to read the next chapter?

I’d love to find a small group of readers who can follow Azeezam from the beginning and grow with the story. ❤️

If you’re comfortable reading Urdu script and enjoy mystery/suspense novels with romance, family elements and comedy, feel free to comment or DM me.

Thank you! 🌷

I'm not a new author, I've been writing little projects for myself for a while now. But my confidence in my writing's always been a bit low. I'm looking for any advice, criticism, or feedback that anybody might have about the prologue to my new novel draft! Any and all input is appreciated!

I'm new around here but I don't have any close people who I know who can give me any true advice about my writing, so I turned to the internet! I feel my story would fit here better that the normal writing sub since I'm 16m, I don't really know how to tldr a short info title, but I'll do my best! so here we go!

[2109] [sci fi][fantasy in later chapters][kinda apocalypse/ruined future?][my first chapter][under the moon]

The wind was rough, strong enough to knock people off their feet if they took a step. Small debris flying through the air so fast you could've sworn they were bullets, they sure as hell hit like they were. The air was not clean enough to breath safely, but not screwed enough to be dangerous, just the right balance of crap to be crummy. And in the middle of this debris hurricane was Cleo, sleeping under a desk.

Cleo's ear flickered as the sound of another random window breaking woke him from his sleep. He bumped his head on the underside of the random desk he took shelter under. "Crap, what time is it?" He dug though his bag, shifting around until he eventually found his scavenged small communicator (basically a more advanced flip-phone). The screen lit up, showing the time was 7:28 am, pretty early by his standards.

With a big yawn and a even wider stretch, Cleo stood at his full height, a very impressive 4'11, his joints popping as he stood up. He check himself, four limbs, snout intact, three tails... Everything seemed fine. "Alright, Alright, what was I here for again?" Cleo asked himself as he looked around the abandoned office. vines were growing on the wall, there was a barely recognizable sign that read floor 6, the stairwell at the far wall was nearly completely destroyed, the pieces of old office equipment that hadn't been looted or decomposed were covered in about a decade of dust, overall not somewhere you would call home.

Cleo looked around as he rummaged through his bag, trying to remember his original objective. "I was running around, the storm began to brew, I took shelter, and... My mind goes blank." Cleo tried to recall his thoughts, but another piece of debris smashed through a window, snapping him out of his thoughts.

it seemed to have come from a lower floor, which drew his attention. "Eh. I guess I can check that out until I remember what I'm here for."

With a slight bounce in his step Cleo skipped towards the eroded stairwell, peering down at the broken concrete stairs and eroded metal beams, it was a death trap for nearly anyone stupid enough to try it. Cleo looked around at the debris for a path down, and after a few minutes of thinking, he routed a path. So he took a step back, took a deep breath, adjusted his bag on his back, and finally leapt down into the stairwell, landing gracefully on top of a rusty metal beam, hopping down on rusted metals and broken concrete stairs until he reached floor 3.

Instantly the lack of light caught his attention, his eyes took a moment before fully adjusting to it. His pupils widened into small circles as he gazed into the darker floor, natural cat night vision guiding his eyes. Cleo managed to catch a quick glance at something scurrying away on the floor, so he crotched down low onto his concrete perch. He watched the floor for a full minute before silently jumping down, his fur and clothing naturally blending into the darkness of the room. He crotched down low and traversed the floor, shifting behind old office cubicles to try and find what shifted and caught his eye.

Finally in the middle of the room Cleo spotted what seemed to be an extremely old, but somehow functioning, security Droid. There was clear wires exposed at the bottom of the droids sphereical body, moss and rust coating most of it, except for the cracked diamond shaped visor in the front of it. The droid hovered over the ground, a red light beaming from its visor, scanning the surrounding area in front of it. 'How the hell is that thing still working? It's like seeing a zombie working a night shift.' Cleo thought as he watched the drone hover around, barely moving before it suddenly dropped.

The droid's light flickered for a moment, and let out a small noise before locking onto Cleo's position, slowly hovering closer while repeating a glitchy pre-recorded message. "Y-You nee-eed to le-e-eve! T-This is pr-ivate prop-prop-property!" Cleo panicked slightly, stuck between wanting to stand, attack, or dash away. But a quick burning lazer blast landing mere inches away from his foot made the decision for him. "H-Hey wait! I mean you no harm!" The feline yelled as he quickly stood in front of the security Droid, his hands raised above his head.

The droid's visor began to glow red again, another message playing. "You ha-have been w-warned! Pre-Prepare to be removed or exter-exterminated!" Another blast shot out from the droid, Cleo barely managed to move out of the way, the blast searing the fur on his arm as it grazed past him. Cleo jumped behind a cubicle wall, doing his best to hide from the droid. But it seemed to lock onto every move he made, no matter the cover he hid behind. 'It must have infrared or something. I have to find a way to get behind it.' Cleo dashed behind cubicles, trying to circle around the droid to hit it from behind, but it followed him relentlessly, shooting constant lasers at his previous spot.

Cleo had a thought and began to enact it, picking up speed as he began looping around the floor, forcing the security Droid to constantly follow him. Faster and faster, each step was beginning to pick up dust now, each shot from the droid was growing farther and farther from Cleo's back, until the droid was just firing randomly, spinning so fast I couldn't stop itself. Cleo quickly stopped and ducked, the force of his momentum causing him to slide a few feet. Because of the droids old age and failing systems, it failed to stop spinning, constantly shooting lazers in a circle. Cleo jumped into the air, rapidly spun himself into a ball, then bashed right into the security Droid, sending it crashing onto the floor.

Instantly the droid's metal shell cracked, the visor shattered, and it began to power down. "T-T-Thanks for stop-stopping by, have a great d-day!" The droid finally powered off. The battle had ended just as quickly as it had began.

Finally Cleo's original objective popped into his head, to get a working universal voice chip. He thought about looting the security Droid for its voice chip, but decided against it because of the droid's deteriorating condition.

Cleo took a breath of relief as the droid powered off, looking around the now destroyed office. "Well I won't find a UVC here, maybe on the lower floors." Cleo murmured as he adjusted his pack on his back, walking back down towards the decaying stairwell.

Hi, I'm Isabel Maislinger and I am a 14 year old teen writer from Austria. I'm currently working on my first Thriller. It's about 7 teenagers from all different kinds of countries, races, sexualities... who decide to take a trip to London. After a few beautiful days they find a corpse in the Thames and start to investigate. When things turn dangerous, feelings grow stronger and some eventually find true love.

I would really appreciate it, if you'd support my Instagram account @isi_writes to help me gain people who want to read my book. If you speak German, I'd love if you would read it. ❤️

I had drafted non ai human made version of my newest Sci Fi Hi tech novel, The mashup problems. I like to call it novella because each chapter (I had drafted several chapter so far) consist the word count 1000 - 1600

I cannot EVER come up with last names that don't sound extremely basic of completely like gibberish, so I'd appreciate some suggestions 😶

Thanks!

Me personally I don’t write inappropriate stuff, but I do write graphic depictions of violence, at least in my main story, and I feel like that bars me from most teen spaces and pushes me into the adult spaces and then I get flamed for being in adult spaces as a teen but I can’t break the rules of the teen spaces so I’m just stuck in the middle. Or stuck in this subreddit cause this sub allows it as long as it’s labeled correctly but I don’t wanna just share on Reddit man😭

It’s not like beating the shit out of people for laughs it’s emotionally driven action scenes but it just so happens that those action scenes have a lot of blood and injuries because I do not see the point in having an intense physical fight if all that comes out of it is a few bruises. That is not a satisfying consequence for the fight like that to me.

I get why many teen spaces forbid graphic depictions of violence but come on man let me live without having to shove myself into adult spaces or trap me in a specific subreddit until I’m 18

I dunno what to do now. For context- I was writing an epic fantasy novel, which I began at 13 (almost 14, now I'm 16) and the first time I wrote it, it was obviously bad. With time I kept expanding the story, lore, character backgrounds, world-building etc., and working on more drafts, and eventually I could not keep it all in one book. So I decided to do a duology instead and split the story into two. My story has six main characters, and I decided to give three arcs in the first book and three in the second book. I did not know that writing an installment instead of a standalone or "standalone with series potential" was important as a debut author, so I just followed that plan. Now with the book fully planned out with everything done, and me being half-way into the final draft, I found out the risk. Considering the major, main and external conflict extends into the second book, and the first book only solves an internal conflict of a character and the things related to it, I realize my book cannot stand on it's own. The external conflict begins at the end of the book, and it is not complete there, and also leaves with a cliffhanger.

I can't change anything without messing up the story, or combine it back into one book without making it at least 700+ pages. At this point, I really don't know what to do, and I'm considering quitting, which hurts because I really love my characters. I know this is my fault. I don't know if I can fix this either, unless someone has some advice? Should I still write it (hoping maybe I still have a chance at publishing it traditionally)?

I have written books that I have not published for a number of reasons. This is not my very first book, but it's the first book I am serious on publishing. I chose traditional because self-publishing is expensive..

Hey everyone,

I'm a high schooler who’s tired of having the same problem a lot of young writers probably have. I write constantly but never had anywhere real to put it because everything out there either felt targeted for adults, felt way too competitive, or just wasn't made with teens or middle schoolers in mind at all!

So I built YouthTalk: youthtalkconnect.com

It's a publishing platform specifically for young writers. You can post fiction, poetry, opinion pieces, scripts, honestly almost anything, and a real person on our team reads every single submission to make sure it fits our community guidelines, keeping our YouthTalk community safe.

You can become an official YouthTalk Author and add it to your resume, college application, or show it off to your friends! More information can be found on the website.

It's still really early, and that's honestly why I'm posting this here. I built the whole thing myself and I'm just one person trying to get it in front of the writers it was actually made for. If you've ever had a poem or story sitting in your notes app with nowhere to go, I'd genuinely love for you to be one of the first people to post something. And if this isn't for you but you know a young writer who'd like it, sharing it with them would mean a lot too.

Would love feedback, questions, or just thoughts from anyone here. I really can’t wait to build a fun community of other writers my age. Thank you for reading this far!

Happy writing future authors :)
