What kind of weekly/monthly threads would you want to see on !writing? (beehaw.org)

For example, /r/writing has weekly critique and check-in threads, and /r/writingprompts does a theme-based writing contest every Thursday.

I'm no mod, by the way - I'm just interested to know what others would like to get from a writing community like ours, and I think it would be cool if we could start something which could bring this community together regularly.

Anything featuring writing prompts is something I like. I don't write as often as I'd like, but that would be the most likely to grab me and, even when I don't contribute, I like to save prompts I like to reference when I am in a writing mood.

I second the writing prompts idea, and would like to offer an additional idea which might be a little strange. I used to love this subreddit called "/r/worststory". It was a place for writing prompts where the idea was to intentionally create a terribly written story.

I got a lot of fun out of that subreddit, especially when there was a collaborative story thread. The basic premise of the subreddit made it a lot less daunting to post and easier to work out silly but creative ideas for stories.
