Is it okay to ask a question about story writing?

Question

Can I ask a question about science-fiction short story writing, or is there a specific SE forum about writing tips?

@Richard Yes; it's off-topic according to Rob – Möoz May 6 '15 at 5:53 — Möoz, May 6 '15 at 5:53

No. You cannot ask questions about your writing. It's specifically contrary to our stated site policies.

If your question is about...

Writing science fiction, ask on Writers - Stack Exchange

If you're looking for info about sci-fi concepts, you might want to try Worldbuilding:SE

By this, do you mean you can't ask questions about a story you've written? Because that's what it sounds like, though I can't find anything in the link about that (ignoring the fact it would be tacky) – The Fallen May 6 '15 at 1:36

Ah, no. It would be perfectly acceptable for an author to ask an on-topic question about their own works. It might border on spam but that's a different issue – Valorum May 6 '15 at 3:17
Okay, makes more sense now. – The Fallen May 6 '15 at 11:11
