The r/writing subreddit Principle states that if your question starts with the words "Is it ok" or something similar to that then the answer is invariably yes.
"Hello, r/writing. Can I use a particular gimmick or a plot device that has been used before but because I don't actually read books or do any research I just assume it to be a highly original idea?"

"According to the r/writing subreddit Principle, the answer is always yes. You can write whatever you want."

"But is it ok if, like, my main character dies in the end? I'm afraid the average reader will be put off by my creative genius."

"Yes! Stop asking other people for validation! Grow a backbone and write what you want!"

Writing Songs

Writing Songs is when you jerk off on top of a naked person and right when you are about to cum you start to hum a tune and you use your dick like a pen and write random scribbles on the stomach of the naked person to match your humming.

Writing Sign

Share definition
The symbol located in any chat showing that the other person is typing. This usually happens after a pause in conversation or a wrong turn in the chat. Usually a person begins to type to keep the conversation going but sees the other person typing too and out of laziness lets the other say something pointless.
Guy 1. It's so hard to keep a convo with this girl.
Guy 2. Why's that?
Guy 1. She's so random, if I didn't see her Writing Sign this conversation wouldn't make any sense!
