Gaia General
Limyaaels Rants
Easily one of THE BEST compilations of rants on a very extensive range of subjects. Wondering how to improve that female protagonist? Make realistic plots? Handle a blind character? It’s all here.
Seriously.
You’d be foolish not to read at least one.
The Anti–Guide
A humorous view on what you should NOT do while writing. Be prepared for sarcasm.
Seventh Sanctum
Oh I love this place. One of THE GREATEST writing help / prompting websites in existence, just many, many generators of words, titles, names, ships names, plots, characters, settings, villains, protagonists, etc. Everything.
Veive's Links / Rants
A thread containing links directing Veive's, (Gaia's very own), rants. Well worth reading.

A thread of helpful people willing to adhere to curing your block on your beginning. With lots of useful advice and help, what more could you ask for?

Lets Twist Some Clichés!
An interesting thread where normal clichés are stated then twisted, should hopefully prompt many plots.
Gaia Fantasy & Sci Fi Dares Thread
Basically, a thread where Gaia members post dares that can range from plot dares (ie. Make your character protect the world from aliens that resemble George Clooney) to pretty much anything. With sharp eyes and some sifting ability, some neat and quirky character traits and plot lines can be drawn from it.
