Discord?
Added 2023-06-21 03:19:06 +0000 UTCOkay, so, I've been asked a few times about a Discord for Unintended Cultivator. Honestly, I've been really hesitant to entertain the idea because I really only started using Discord about three weeks ago.
In brief, Eric's Discord Mastery Level = emoji poop. I'm not even really sure what a book-related discord should have on it.
So, with that information about my discord competence in hand, I thought I'd let you weight in on the subject. Vote and/or comment below.

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind.

2023-06-21 11:27:03 +0000 UTCI don't participate in book related discords, there's not much to running them, and the only thing anyone in the discord has in common is they read your book, or read books. I think primarily book discords are ways for Authors to announce projects or events surrounding their works, like audio book stuff, or official releases. They're also often great time wasters if you get easily caught up in management.

2023-06-21 03:30:05 +0000 UTCDiscord only really works when you have some Mods you can trust. If you're not super comfortable with it and have people that manage it regularly it becomes a cess really quickly. It CAN be great but the growing pains must be endured before it gets there and its a lot of time investment.

2023-06-21 03:23:50 +0000 UTCI am currently up to my ears in discord servers for authors I follow, I personally interact with most of them very rarely if at all. But! I feel like all these authors must be doing it for a good reason, building a sense of community among the fans is my guess. I haven't asked them.

2023-06-21 03:23:49 +0000 UTCI suppose the attraction is mostly that you can divide things into specific topic areas.

2023-06-21 03:23:48 +0000 UTCI'd say start a discord only if and when you actually want to. Having a whole new platform to learn and juggle when you don't necessarily want it sounds beyond tiresome. But maybe that's just me.

2023-06-21 03:23:32 +0000 UTCTbh, I don't see the point of discord if you already have a channel for connecting with fans.
