COMING SOON: A Discord Server! ☀️
Added 2020-07-07 15:02:00 +0000 UTCBuuuuuut I need your help. What should we call the server? Comment down below and let me know!
I held off creating one tied to the Patreon because, up until this point, I didn't really use Discord! And I didn't want to create one and then never be there. But I'm getting more involved in some writing discords and think it would be really fun way to check-in and hang out, outside of the live write-ins.
So I'm thinking of doing a weekly check-in, creating a space for sprints, and am looking for any other suggestions on what makes a great writing space for y'all. LET ME KNOW. :)

I second Project Discord! I absolutely love my writing/nano discord group, but outside of oct/nov it is pretty quiet on there

2020-07-13 16:48:14 +0000 UTCHi! Unfortunately, I don't have any ideas for a name but the Discord thing sounds great to me! Looking forward to meet all of you since I'm a new Patreon :D

2020-07-12 14:16:18 +0000 UTCIf you can add one page to get Beta readers would be good. Jena Mereci has a page for that and it's good.

2020-07-11 14:27:02 +0000 UTCCall it Project Name. I'm bon a few discords and they all have multiple pages.

2020-07-11 14:26:15 +0000 UTCDiscords are great and I'm so excited you decided to create one! I'm on a few writing Discords and they can be such great spaces for writers to connect. Some threads suggestions that might be cool would be: writing resources, screaming into the void (aka plot struggles), writing sprints (the Sprinto bot is amazing!), writing accomplishments, events (for challenges, upcoming lives etc), writing review section (for those to post bits of their work). Non-writing specific threads (aside from your general chat, intro section, and rule section) could be: creative shares (a place to post about your art, crafting, building, etc), book recommendations, music recommendations, self care, good news thread, etc. Discord I know a lot about and am down to help and offer suggestions but admittedly I am awful with coming up with names!! Sorry I can't offer up a suggestion for a server name!
2020-07-11 03:17:05 +0000 UTCIt would be cool to have a section in the server specifically for that
2020-07-10 18:15:22 +0000 UTCI love the idea of Discord! I have tons of experience admin-ing on gaming Discords, and depending on the size it's usually really nice to have some off-topic areas, too! An introduce yourself channel is really good for connecting with others. It might be fun to have a muses channel where people can post songs/videos/pictures/prompts to inspire others to write too. As far as names go... I'm bad at that part LOL but I love a lot of the suggestions I've seen here :)
2020-07-10 03:42:18 +0000 UTCI had a couple of thoughts. Would people be interested in a channel that allows people to post links to work they've self-published on amazon/wattpad/medium? To allow us to support the members of the community. And, would folks be interested in a channel for requests for CPs/Betas?

2020-07-10 00:40:41 +0000 UTCYou could always call the whole discord Project Discord and then make the individual channels the other names you like
2020-07-09 20:06:22 +0000 UTCME TOO. I have a new problem -- too many great options bahah.

2020-07-09 19:59:02 +0000 UTCI'm howling. I actually love that so much bahaha. I'm trying to think how I can combine that with some of the other suggestions too! :) THANK YOU.

2020-07-09 19:58:49 +0000 UTCOr you can call it Project Discord since naming is hard lol. I'm late in the thread

2020-07-09 19:42:29 +0000 UTCOoh, I like all of these!
2020-07-09 18:48:29 +0000 UTCOmg this sounds so fun! Hm....The Crewvanaugh?? lmao
2020-07-08 22:52:22 +0000 UTCI love all the names already suggested, and I can't wait to join in and get to know everyone. Discord sprints are my favorite.

2020-07-08 17:21:20 +0000 UTCI was coming here to suggest something like "Project purple , it's pink it's fine." but I see Jordan Fiegehen has it well in hand for me!
Writative
2020-07-08 15:50:56 +0000 UTCThis sounds lovely. (Excuse me while I go Google Discord...no idea what that is, except in the sense of the noun "discord.")
Regina Duke
2020-07-08 13:47:50 +0000 UTCIf you need any help setting it up or anything, I have a lot of experience running my own Discord servers, so I'd be happy to help!

2020-07-08 13:46:23 +0000 UTCI'm excited~ I was trying to think of a catchy name along the lines of "Project purple, it's pink, it's fine" like "Project Productivity, it's chaos, it's fine" but... it's very wordy...
Jordan Fiegehen
2020-07-08 01:49:59 +0000 UTCI like those ideas! Also, be sure to add the Sprinto bot: http://top.gg/421646775749967872

2020-07-08 01:30:29 +0000 UTCThis will be amazing!

2020-07-08 00:59:21 +0000 UTCI literally do not care what it's called. This is, easily, the second best thing I've heard all week.
Alvin Fraser
2020-07-07 21:57:37 +0000 UTCLong have I waited for this moment. Totally into this idea can't wait to get to know my fellow Patrons and hopefully get more words down as for Names I second "The Cavanaughs" Because it sounds like a old black and white sitcom from the 60's and as it's not you're real name and it's not (To my knowledge) The name of anyone here. We can all be Cavanaugh's together in our love of our craft, chaos and your channel. I could be cousin Adam from Scotland. yay.
Adam Stevenson
2020-07-07 20:36:01 +0000 UTCthere could be a channel for beta/alpha readers too :)

2020-07-07 17:00:11 +0000 UTCJust checking in. Excited for the idea.

2020-07-07 16:39:44 +0000 UTCI'm hoping for that too!

2020-07-07 16:38:39 +0000 UTCI like so many of the suggestions already given. Here's another vote for The Cavanaughts and And Chaos Ensued 😄
Mary Wockenfuss
2020-07-07 15:38:31 +0000 UTCHave a space to either share writing or ask for critique partners or something like that.
Rainy Hammer
2020-07-07 15:36:44 +0000 UTCI really don't like discord. :(
Erin
2020-07-07 15:35:47 +0000 UTC"Cavanaugh's Army" like "Dumbledore's Army", because we're fighting procrastination, our own ambitions and the world, who wants us to find "a normal job".
Daria
2020-07-07 15:20:19 +0000 UTCI always find names of discord servers should be fun but distinct of the person running it. So coffee, puppers, running, libraries.... I have no idea!!! Different chat groups for writing, research, reading and such will be great! Discord is how I made so many friends and talk to 24/7

2020-07-07 15:15:34 +0000 UTCI approve of this title!

2020-07-07 15:12:40 +0000 UTCHere's the link to Bethany's server if you wanna check it out! https://discord.gg/WbESbM2
Charlotte Armstrong
2020-07-07 15:11:19 +0000 UTCI don’t know why but I think the whole sever should be called “The Wacky World of Writers”. And so excited for this!
2020-07-07 15:09:47 +0000 UTC“The Cavanaughts” (like astronauts) could be a fun name Also, other writing servers I’m in have monthly events to keep motivation outside of nano. That, and sprint related awards (highest number of sprints, highest wpm, etc)
2020-07-07 15:08:18 +0000 UTCWe could call it And Chaos Ensued
2020-07-07 15:08:03 +0000 UTCBethany Votaw made a great little author pals discord server if you're looking for a great example, it's open to anyone so you can jump on and check it out/join in the general fun! Discord is great, sprints channel would be good, maybe stuff like music, research, general chaos, and writer buddies stuff?
Charlotte Armstrong
2020-07-07 15:07:07 +0000 UTCcould have different channels for different genres, a channel for "off-topic", a channel with pinned resources that's locked, a channel devoted to discussing your latest videos, a channel devoted to "inspiration" (pictures or otherwise), a place for posting snippets/asking for critiques (will need to separate for PG stuff and otherwise), also in general the mods and you should consider how the Discord reflects the general culture of your channel (like if you want to keep the whole server family-friendly, certain topics like politics and things you don't discuss could be off-limits (don't have to be but they could), etc.)
menin
2020-07-07 15:06:30 +0000 UTCI have 0 suggestions for names, just wanted to say this sounds like a great idea!
2020-07-07 15:05:51 +0000 UTCCan we call the Discord "Research" so that if I get distracted by it while writing I can feel good about it?
2020-07-07 15:05:36 +0000 UTCooo what about some space for writing prompts? Excited for this idea :)
