Intrigue Creative is the creative chat room where the community’s writers, poets, artists and makers come together. Share what you’re working on, swap ideas, get feedback and find inspiration in a friendly, supportive space.
Creativity can be a lonely pursuit. Having people to share work with – and to cheer you on – makes a huge difference.
Who is Intrigue Creative for?
Anyone who creates, at any level – from published writers to people who’ve just started a notebook. It’s also for people who simply enjoy other people’s creativity and like thoughtful conversation.
- Writers of fiction, erotica, fan fiction and poetry.
- Artists, illustrators and photographers.
- Musicians and songwriters.
- Crafters and makers of all kinds.
What to expect in the creative chat room
- Sharing and discussing creative work.
- Supportive, constructive feedback.
- Writing prompts, challenges and collaborations.
- Conversations about technique, inspiration and creative blocks.
It’s generally a calmer room than Intrigue Bar And Lounge – a good place to go when you want a slower, more thoughtful chat.
How to give good feedback
Constructive feedback helps people grow; harsh criticism makes them stop sharing.
- Start with what works.
- Be specific – “the last line gave me chills” is more useful than “nice”.
- Offer suggestions, not orders.
- Ask if the person wants feedback before giving it.
Creative prompts to get you started
- Write a six-word story about a first meeting.
- Describe a place using only sounds and smells.
- Share a photo that captures your mood today.
- Write a poem that begins with the last thing someone said to you.
- Write a complete scene in exactly 100 words.
House rules
- Only share work you created or have the right to share.
- Keep feedback kind and constructive.
- Credit collaborators and inspirations.
- Adult themes are fine in writing, but keep explicit material to appropriate rooms or PM.
- All site rules apply.
Overcoming creative block
Every creator gets stuck. The room is a great place to talk it through, and members often suggest:
- Setting a tiny goal – one sentence, one sketch, ten minutes.
- Trying a different medium for a day.
- Using a prompt from the room.
- Sharing something unfinished and asking for ideas.
- Taking a break and coming back fresh.
Collaborating with other members
Collaboration is one of the best parts of Intrigue Creative. Members team up on shared stories, poetry chains and illustrated pieces. Agree early on who does what, how you’ll credit each other and where the finished piece will be shared. If your collaboration has a kinky edge, the BDSM Role Play room is also worth a visit.
Frequently asked questions
Can I share my own writing or art?
Yes – that’s what the room is for. Just make sure it’s your own work.
Do I need to be experienced?
No. Beginners are just as welcome as seasoned creators.
Is Intrigue Creative only a writers chat room?
No. Writers are a big part of the room, but artists, photographers, musicians and makers are just as welcome – and so are people who simply enjoy seeing what others create.
Can I find people to collaborate with?
Yes. Many members team up on stories, role play and projects.
