Invitation to join a new fun comm!

[amberdreams]

quickreaver and a couple of other bods have set up a new discussion platform on Discord for all artists and writers. It's dynamic like Twitter but allows different discussion threads and topics, so you can (hopefully) keep track of information and chats better than Twitter. It's also only open to the invited, so any wank can be stamped on, and there's a certain amount of privacy to discussions. Anyhow, quickreaver explains it better than me:

I've set up a Discord server for authors and artists in the SPN/SPN RPF fandom, as a place for Sam-and-Dean-and-J2 fans to network, get excited, offer advice, opportunities and concrit, dish about the show, etc. (Destiel has several big, active servers already running; if you'd like their locations, let me know! I'll point you that'a way. I'm not spurning Destiel, but you simply might be better served elsewhere.) Discord really isn't that tough to use--it's pretty much a glorified chat room--but of course there's no one in the new server right now, so it's pretty quiet. I'm hoping it'll catch on, though, because for me, one of the most rewarding parts of fandom is its gift economy: the free sharing of ideas and fanworks. The wank on some SM platforms has gotten so unavoidable, it sucks the joy right out of everything. I do enjoy a good rant every once in a while--I'm certainly not saying we have to be Susie Sunshine all the time--but there's a limit to the level of attacks and name-calling I wanna see, on the regular. I was craving a place for education and concrit too. So here we have it!

Worth a try, I feel!

I'll be honest, I've never heard of Discord and had no idea what the hell it was (I had to ask my sister), but this does sound interesting.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Me neither - apparently it was originally for gamers.

HEY GANG. I had to change the invitation code, so here's the new one!

Thanks for the heads-up, bb. I already had a Discord account (though I've never used it) so this could be fun.

There's a new link (in case you missed quickreaver's correction above) https://discordapp.com/invite/7M35sMR

This is new to me, but I'm excited to explore!!!

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

Well, that sounds excellent! *\o/*
I'm on there, how do I find y'all?

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

I've tagged you in one of the discussions - over on the left there should be a margin with an icon called The Draft Saloon - click on that and you should see a load of #discussions

I saw it, it's cool in there :) It's like the old style yahoo groups chat after it went from file folder forums :)

I’m well versed in discord after getting into a fandom which has no presence at all on older platforms like LJ. It’s very easy to use!
