Designated category for Creative Writing and related content
Ranging from writing and discussing novels, to poetry, scripts, comics, article editing, tabletop campaign planning, world creation, etc. There are a wide array of people doing various forms of creative writing on twitch, (Counted 53 channels so far, still working on finding more) and often it's hard to decide between "Creative" "Art" or "Just Chatting". Currently all we have to search for similar content is the "Writing" tag, which some of the broader definitions are hesitant to use, and is also used by people writing computer code, which is honestly a very different type of content despite it's visual similarities.
A category for this would seriously help us to find content and be found by the wider community of storytelling or wordsmithing fans that use twitch, as well as make it easier for twitches algorithm to identify what we watch. (I am often recommended visual art streams because I watch a lot of writers that use the art category, but never recommended any writing channels, and others I have spoken to experience the same)

My Idea for writing is to have the image of a quill and paper morphing into a keyboard computer screen since many people are using Twitch to stream their writing.

Adding once again to the comments about this. We do need a way to recognize writers on Twitch. It would be so much easier for the writing community to have a dedicated category so we can connect, network and support each others streams.

This is definitely a category that I think should be added. It would be much easier for writers on twitch to find each other and share writing resources.

I vote for Writers Rights in Twitch so we all can get our own category. Power to the writers ✍️!

Ottima idea,ciò che avrei voluto proporre anch'io! :D
In italiano si chiamerebbe "Scrittura creativa" oltre che appunto inserire anche una categoria "Poesia" ( la dicitura inglese aiuta certo però rischia di indirizzare ai miei video persone che non riuscirebbero a seguire il senso di ciò che andrei a scrivere visto che il contenuto della diretta sarebbe interamente in italiano) -

As another streaming writer on Twitch, this being its own category would be amazing!

This would be amazing! I definitely think this should be its own category on Twitch! While Twitch is heavily advertised for the Gaming Community, it's apparent that there are other categories on the platform that have provided much entertainment for many viewers, myself included. So many communities now make up the entity that is Twitch and they all need to be represented equally.

As a variety streamer who games, draws, AND writes, I want there to be a space for each of these categories equally. Having a space to hear best writing tactics, programs, styles, and tips with likeminded people who want to improve as writers is just as important for us as it is for musicians, artists, bakers, crafters, and individual gaming communities. It would also be much easier to find one another instead of random searches and stumbling into the right streams. It may even encourage people to start streaming that didn't think there was a place for them to thrive.

We would love to see a "Writers" or "Writing" Main Category on Twitch. Did you know there are many creative writers streaming on Twitch? It's pretty sad that we don't have a dedicated Main Category. This makes us hard to find, as we got lost in the sea of inaccurate categories. IRL Chat isn't specific enough and having "Writers" as a game is inaccurate and confusing. I sincerely believe that allowing us to have our own Main Category would be a vast improvement to user experience - both creators and audiences.

The writing community on Twitch keeps growing. A category would make it more enticing for those of us who keep debating whether to start streaming.

For those watching this suggestion, we need to push this as hard and as much as Thor at Pirate Software pushed for the Game Development category.

Almost 3 years this suggestion has been up here, we have over 1000 votes for this and still no category for Creative Writing. What do we writers need to do to in order to get somebody to create the Category for us?

I've recently found this genre, and I agree, a common term would be very helpful.

During the month of November, there's been a noticeable increase in the number of writers streaming on Twitch. Right now they might mark their stream as playing a game called "Writers" or use a "Just Chatting" category.
As it is, the small but active and growing community of streams related to writing, books, literature etc. is scattered about without a category to improve discoverability.
I vote yes to this.
