All authors and artists out there (and tbh anyone who would be interested in seeing the following develop), I'm looking for some help. I'm in need of a writing group; both to critique my own works, but I'm also looking for help to create an Anthology for the Sci-Fi Universe I'm working within. It's set within the Milky-Way Galaxy in 3418, with humanity having spread throughout the Orion Spur. We let members who join in make their own star nations, organizations, what-have-you, but what I really need are authors. Artists, too - we more have that.
The general idea we had set forth with is that we do all the legwork with worldbuilding the universe, and authors with developing, coallescing ideas of their own could play off the fact that we've got a world already built.
Even without that, I'm looking for people who'd like to help me work on my own novel within this universe, to help flesh it out and make it better all-around.
