Writer Webring

Welcome! This is the index page for the Writer Webring. This webring is dedicated to writers of all kinds: fiction and nonfiction; essays, prose, poetry, and comics/webtoons. If you're a storyteller of any kind, chances are you count!

What is a webring?

If you've never encountered the concept before, a webring is a group of people with personal/hand-coded sites that share an interest or affliation that link to each other in a circular fashion. That is to say, we're all standing in a circle holding hands with our hands being links to the people next to us.

Webrings can be about any topic and this one just happens to be for writers.

Requirements for joining?

As of right now, I'm depending on applicants to use their discretion and common sense, so these aren't really requirements per se. There are some guidelines though.

The rule of thumb is "if you write, you're a writer." This means that if you do any kind of writing, no matter what form it takes, you count. So yes, visual or auditory storytelling counts. Both fiction and nonfiction count. Scripts, speeches, memoirs, essays, poems, even derivative or transformative works (aka fanfiction), they all count. The most important aspect is the creative storytelling. If you're still not sure if you qualify, you're welcome to email me with questions.

You do not have to have your writing on your site, though it's preferred. Links to where one can access your writing are adequate, especially in the case your work has been traditionally published or published on a different site (like AO3 for example).

Okay, I lied, there is one requirement. You do have to have your own site where you can edit the html/css (like neocities or nekoweb or otherwise self-hosted). This is non-negotiable. Lucky for you, making a site like this is easy and fun and free! You can make an account on neocities or nekoweb in less than ten minutes and resources for learning the basics are abundant.

How to join?

Put the following code where you want the widget to appear:

                </div>

And put this code in the <head> section of your page:
