WIP Wednesday

I thought it might be nice to do this again, and find out how your projects are moving along or if you've started anything new!

We all have our open projects, those new chapters or one-shots which aren't quite ready to release into the wild yet. So here is your space to yap about them and let us know what you're working on. Whether it's still at vibes stage, actively in production or coming soon, we want to hear about it.

This is also a space to discuss WIPs with other writers: chat about research, commiserate about editing woes, anything at all really. So come on in, pull up a chair and let us know what goodies you have in store for us.

Constructive Feedback Swap - May

Review Exchange: Constructive Feedback Swap

Welcome to another edition of the constructive feedback swap! This exchange is to swap with fellow writers, to ask and answer specific questions about our writing. There's no specific theme to meet, everything is welcome!

If you’d like some suggestions about the kinds of questions you might ask, and/or how to provide constructive feedback, I’ve made this hints, tips and resources document

Rules

  1. Offer up a one shot or individual chapter you would like constructive feedback on.

  2. In your submission state fandom, length, rating, any relevant warnings (please spoiler NSFW and potential triggers) and the questions you are looking to have answered about your work. There’s no maximum number of questions, however please consider the time it will take someone to review your work and answer them constructively.

  3. Look through the thread for someone to swap with. Because of the kind of exchange this is, you don't have to pick something you’ve never commented on before. In fact, if you have already read it, you might find giving the feedback easier. If you offer a swap, the other person can decline for any reason, and they don't need to specify those reasons.

  4. This is important! For all your swaps, agree upfront how the feedback will be provided. This might be in an ao3 comment, by DM on reddit or discord, a shared Google doc created for the purpose, or another mutually agreed method.

If you don't find a swap, then you may consider your obligations under this exchange fulfilled. There are no limits on the number of swaps you can make, however please consider the extra effort which will be required in order to complete your obligations.

Once a swap is agreed please edit your post to state who you are swapping with, and edit again once the constructive feedback has been provided to help me keep track.

For posted works, it would be nice to leave a kudos on the fic if you enjoyed it. A public comment, if you are not providing your feedback that way, is a courtesy rather than a requirement for this exchange. Once you provide the requested constructive feedback in the manner agreed, your obligations have been fulfilled.

Enter and agree swaps by: 15th May 2026, 7pm BST (UTC+1)

Feedback Deadline: 22nd May 2026, 7pm BST (UTC+1)

It's peer learning time! Let's swap some fics and get some constructive feedback on our work!

Hello everyone!

I don't think this one needs much explanation 😉

Please share with us the favourite smutty fics that you have written. It could be M/F, M/M, F/F; solo fun, couples, threesomes, foursomes or moresomes. In a bed, on a plane, on a train. Kinky, vanilla, or anything in between. As the title says, in this exchange, 'anything goes', so long as it's spicy. Both E and M rated stories are welcome.

Share up to three smutty chapters or one-shots and in return you'll need to review three stories from different authors. In your entry include fandom, pairing, word count, summary, and any applicable warnings. The exchange is flaired NSFW so there's no need to spoiler NSFW warnings but please do spoiler any potentially triggering content. Please also include a review counter in your entry to help me keep track.

Deadline to enter: Wednesday 29th April, 7pm BST

Deadline for reviews: Sunday 3rd May, 7pm BST

Your reviews should be thoughtful. At least 50 words per review. As always, ConCrit and stating in your review that you are "fandom blind" and/or "from Reddit" are opt-in only.

Above all, have fun and happy reviewing!
