My story is called ‘Spacesuits Won’t Help you Here’ and is a psychedelic adventure that takes place at Burning Man. There are lots of other great stories, too, all contributed by writers for the /r/writing community on reddit and twitter. Link: https://a.co/6Wx6M00
Reddit is usually where I go when I want to kill time and brain cells. Usually. Back in the Summer, a group of writers came together from their /r/writing forum to join our powers together and help promote each other on twitter. There are virtual meetups, writeins, novel reading groups, kittens photos, and other shenanigans going on.
We also decided to put our skills to good use for Doctors Without Borders and gather stories for the first anthology of writing from redditors! You might guess it’s all stories about cats, weed, computers, and video games, but we also have sci-fi, fantasy, crime, and, more weirdly – a psychedelic adventure story about Burning Man written by me!
I love the way it turned out and I’m especially grateful to the editors and organizers, including Joe Butler (@writelikeashark) who put the whole thing together, @AlexHareland, and my editor @AizelleRaine. Hopefully they’ll be another anthology down the road!
Check out our group on Twitter – #redditwriters – we’re always welcoming new people!
