Okay, so. Here at FYCD, we thought it’d be really nice if you all could get to know each other better, and interact more, because there ain’t no motivation to write like someone waiting eagerly to read your work. 

THEREFORE: We are looking for writers who can be enthusiastic about other writers, and their work. When you submit your application, we’ll do our best to pair you up with someone who has reasonably similar interests. Then, ideally, you’ll bond and become true writing buddies who support each other and have fun talking about murder, or hiding from your editors, or whatever it is you all do when you aren’t writing. 

There are NO requirements other than being able to get excited about writing with someone else.

I know that sometimes y’all can be shy bunnies, so after we pair you off, we’ll probably plan something fun or get some little events together so that you and your buddy can get to know each other. But deciding what we’ll actually do will probably come after the most likely epic task of pairing you all up. 

Tell your friends. 

The tag will be ‘#writing buddies’ should you wish to follow or block.

SO

APPLICATION POST COMING RIGHT UP

APPLY!

(What is a writing buddy?)

Rules: 

1. Copy/paste and fill out the below application, and submit it using our submit feature, that you may answer the questions without a character limit. Also copy/paste because I’m a little thick and I will go crazy trying to make sense of your answers if they’re smooshed together or without the questions.  

2. We will be accepting applications for one week. That means the cutoff will be next Sunday (the second) at midnight. After that, it’ll take some time to pair you up, so please do be patient. 

3. Be nice to your buddy. I know that you’re all sweethearts, but just be extra gentle when you’re getting to know each other, because writing can be a pretty personal thing. If they ASK you for honest harsh crit after you get to know each other, by all means, tear their work apart.

Well …

I can’t feel my face.
My teeth aren’t any whiter.
And I can expect my gums to bleed for the next week.

But this was for my health?
I fucking hate the dentist.

I’m pretty sure I have a cavity, it hurts a lot from time to time, it all started, I don’t know, a month ago?, but I’m so scared of the dentist, and the shot, and his bill, that no way I’m going to have it seen. I think I’ll let this tooth fall, THEN, MAYBE, I’ll go to the dentist.

Yeah, I’m having serious regret right now.

Books, cats, and TWH… . hmm. Yes… clever.

Be creative with it. Where is your character leaving? A school/job they’ve always hated? The house they’ve grown up in? Their country? Are they really not sad or are they just repressing their feelings?

Think outside the box!

And don’t forget to tag I dare you to write if you’re brave enough to publish it
