For example, /r/writing has weekly critique and check-in threads, and /r/writingprompts does a theme-based writing contest every Thursday.
I’m no mod, by the way - I’m just interested to know what others would like to get from a writing community like ours, and I think it would be cool if we could start something which could bring this community together regularly.
Maybe a weekly thread for self-promos? That way those of us who have some form of self/web publish elsewhere going can promote our stories, but also avoid filling the forum with them.
