What: Glowfic Writing Where: Remnant Taproom and Cafe, 2 Bow Mkt Wy, Somerville When: Saturday, March 28th, 2pm Style: Other Run by: Emily and Skyler
Glowfic is a fanfiction format with some popularity in rationalist circles, typically co-written between two authors who each take turns writing a couple paragraphs of the story at a time before tagging the other author to take the next turn. Examples of stories written this way are Kappa and Alicorn's Effulgence (which takes another look at how the rationalist fanfic Luminosity could have turned out) and Eliezer Yudkowsky and Lintamande's Planecrash (mostly D&D with a side of decision theory.) Glowfic stories tend to have a lot of oddball takes on popular culture characters, an emphasis on competence and making the world better, and crossovers between two different worlds. None of that's a hard and fast rule though.
If you're already a fan or if you're curious and interested in trying some writing, you're invited to bring your laptop (or your phone if your thumbs are very ready for it) and a couple of story premises this afternoon! No previous fiction writing experience is required, but a willingness to try is!
