### [Rules](/r/writingcirclejerk/wiki) // [Prompts](/r/thedailyprompt) // [Workshop](/r/critchat)

**This is a parody subreddit. Do not submit your writing here.**

This subreddit parodies writing communities including, but not limited to: /r/writing, /r/fantasywriters, /r/writingprompts, etc.

Unironic submissions will be removed with extreme prejudice.

## Rules
**1. Just write.**

**2. Great artists steal - but only from those who deserve it.**

Take inspiration from any post you like, but avoid parodying silly questions asked in good faith.

This rule may be waived in the case of source posts that are unexpectedly popular (100+ upvotes).

If you are inspired by another post, you're encouraged to link it in the comments. Anyone who chooses to participate in the original thread must only do so in a constructive manner. You have been warned.

**3. No unjerk posts. (Comments are fine.)**

Don’t make out of character posts, we have a dedicated sticky thread for that. Otherwise we run the risk of becoming another writing subreddit, and then someone will have to make WCJCJ, and then we’ll be in rocky metaphysical territory.

However, OOC comments are allowed everywhere!

**4. No discussion of moderation in other subreddits.**

WCJ is not the place to complain about moderators or moderation decisions in other subreddits. Not even in the out-of-character thread. These discussions always end in pitchforks and unfunny drama.

**5. No Reddit screenshots, crossposts, or direct links as posts.**

Don't screenshot, crosspost, or link to someone else's post just to make your own post complaining about it. Yes, even if you censor everything. Try to at least make some attempt at a joke, even if it's super lame.

However, you can link to and complain about anything you like (other than what's covered by rule #4) in the weekly out-of-character thread.

**6. No jokes about acting prejudiced or discriminatory.**

Yes, we know you're being ironic. But the people responding usually won't be. These posts attract the wrong audience and quickly become unfunny.
