i don't know.
haruko says that it takes an idiot to do cool things, “that's why it's cool.” i don't know if that's true; but maybe after enough words are written here, we'll figure it out. together.
If you would like to start a blog at howdoyouspell.cool, please reach out to the admin directly via email at f0rrest@protonmail.com (don't worry, he's nice–usually).
Please take a moment to read our privacy standards and review the sections below before joining.
howdoyouspell.cool is an open community of new-wave writers who value privacy, autonomy, and creative writing – and, most importantly, we reject corporate interests and monetary incentives. We aim to be a no-pressure, polite community from all walks of life, away from the ten-thousand-word user agreements of corporate-controlled platforms. If you consider yourself even the most amateur of writers, you’re welcome here. Too often, writers leave their work languishing in a folder somewhere – this community aims to change that by providing a safe space for expression without fear of ridicule or some big-word conglomerate stealing your words to power a fake-sentient SQL table.
Our core tenets include: cool is subjective, endless introspection, fearless expression, money corrupts without exception, and the golden rule is the closest you’re going to get to perfection.
Anything goes: poetry, prose, music reviews, essays, movie critiques, research papers, video game analysis, lyrics, entire novels, short stories, play scripts – I could keep going, but I think you get the point. We only ask that you treat your blog as a creative effort, not a microblog – and that, on top of the golden rule, you try to follow the community guidelines below.
For a full breakdown of each rule, see our community guidelines page.
howdoyouspell.cool is home to 204 articles across 13 blogs.
