Just a couple of organizational things
2 years ago
I need to get finishing/organizing things, and I keep starting new WIPs and projects, so I figured I'd put up a quick note to gauge interest in things/figure out what exactly I should focus on:
1) I'm starting a discord. Link is here: https://discord.gg/wsjGgj856D
It is currently empty. I plan to use it to discuss random WIP ideas and characterization, and maybe get ideas to write about. I don't want it to be about my writing in particular so much as writing in general, but I do want a place where I can talk about my own characters idly when I come up with dumb ideas and then have people tell me the ideas are dumb (or not) without messaging the same two friends thirty times because they're the discord contacts that I have that I'm comfortable sending furry content to. If there's enough interest to get it running, I'll actually block out the channels based on what whoever joins wants.
2) I need to figure out a good place to store character notes/world notes. I've thought about putting them in scraps, and I think I have some notes stored over in a folder on SoFurry, but I've been really bad about updating them. I may end up keeping them on SoFurry because I like the editor over there better than the editor over here for updating a post. This may be something that down the line I build my own website for as a long term project - maybe a general website specifically related to character and world organization. One probably already exists. I'll have to go looking.
3) I need to set up my profile. This isn't actually relevant to anyone else, I just need to put this note as many places as I possibly can so that there's a chance when I look *anywhere* that I remember.
4) A trello? I have one that I set up for myself but it has my name on it. Not that I think my name is particularly well hidden if it was searched for, but if I'm going to post one specifically related to furry stuff I want to make people (from both ends) to have to work to find the other.
I'd also love to hear any specific feedback anyone has about anything that is finished that is up so far (writing-wise), or even just things people want to see written more about in general - I have a list of things that I am hoping to improve from previous pieces, and plan to go back and reread them to see more, but it's always nice to hear from other people what they think - definitely notice different things from a reader's perspective. I also know I am definitely fixated on Atremath at the moment because I just want there to be more minotaur content out there, especially more content that specifically meets my tastes :p So if my interests align with someone else's I'm definitely keen to oblige...
Lastly, unrelated to the organizational things: I am planning to start working on a very cursed project (blending All I Want For Christmas Is You and Last Christmas), and I'll be streaming it if people want to hang out. I'm in EST, it'll probably happen when this post is ~7 hours old if it happens. This will be the first large-ish audio project I've done, I've cleaned up audio clips before and cut up/melded them end to end, but never tried to pick apart channels of tracks to piece together and make something new. Progress will be probably be non-existent to slow, as I'm going to be learning a lot of it from scratch, but if people want to be around and talk about whatever (related to the project or not) it'll be there.
