Three writers—a recovering academic, a writing professional, and a megaconsumer—take on Riting Communities, those online communities full of writers and terrible advice. Along the way (be warned, dear listener) there will be jokes, as well as some de minimis amount of Actual Writing Advice. Updates every other Wednesday.

068: Saints of the Patrickiots
In this SPECIAL episode of On Riting, we recorded a commentary track for The Last Starfighter, Chadd's filmographic home turf! If you want to sync us up, we're paused at 18 seconds, approximately when the rosy fingers of dawn reach over the globe on the newer universal logo, 6 seconds before the old universal logo, if you're watching on a different platform.

067: Boat Jams
In this (sadly MJ-less) episode of On Riting, Chadd and Sean explore the strangely ideology-less Death and Other Details, and what it can tell us about using themes without using themes. No, not like that. Other topics include Billy Zane, Huysman, and the eternal specter of Mao.

065: Saltier than Riting (Star Wars)
In this episode MJ, Chadd, and Sean look at a community that feeds directly into r/writing, and the media property that surrounds it. Other topics include Indian In the Cupboard, X-Files licensed fiction, and the Expanded Universe (Bad).
