Welcome to c/writing!
This is a space for all kinds of discussion referring to writing. This could include the structure and style found in different types of writing, authors worth talking about, different genres, trends, etc.
This is also a space for users who wish to share their own writing for feedback. This could look like independently posting excerpts of poems/prose/plays or it could be replying to one of the writing prompt threads. Brainstorming and worldbuilding ideas are welcome too!
Ideally, this will be a community where we work together to become better writers and appreciators of writing in all its forms.
All that said, please note that Code of Conduct still applies here. Please apply content warnings where applicable and spoiler material that might be inappropriate.

You could do some interesting stuff if there's a section of vampires who aren't required to participate in violence to enjoy the benefits of their condition, while another number has to perpetrate it in order to reproduce their number. There's a perverse ethic to it, that some number of people have to be literally fed to the monster, but this enables more and more people to have lives of superb luxury and safety. Add a wrinkle or two and you've got a nice short story or novella right there.
