We have to save the past by going to the future! No, don't ask how that works it's complicated and involves 5D chess.

REP stands for "Raptorial Educational Platform"! I come fully loaded with military grade laser pointers and Powerpoint.

okay I'm putting a marker down, hold me to it: cohost writer's salon discord before May

name ideas? The Sadgirl Shop? Mechfuckers'r'us? Chostwriters?

(also, if anyone has particular 'I need any discord server I'm in to have this' bots/functions/assists/principles, lmk and I'll try to find the maximal combination of requests)

How about the "Draft Dodgers", not because of any anti-military sentiment, but because we all chronically avoid finishing shit in our drafts (and when we do, cohost.org suffers an outage and punts our writing into the white screen of death)

Cohost Writer's Saloon feels like a good name already and what folks know. Also yeah, cos there was a few times I nearly started making it hehe. Happy to help out, I do discord admin for like a union and have decent knowledge on making sure a server is not like structurally toxic or anything.

will definitely be looking for some mods in the next week or two, I'll keep a slot open for you (I have very little experience Actually Owning discords, though I have moderation responsibilities in a few)

I like "cohost writer's salon" as a name, personally, but I'll admit "Chostwriters" is fucking good. Principles? "Whatever you can do with 3 dozen channels you can do better with 3." and "Vent channels become ever-growing voids hungry for misery and despair, lingered in only by those who seek to sate them."

Adding my vote for just calling it "Cohost Writer's Salon" given that's kinda Just The Community. Bots-wise I've got PluralKit and Reaction Roles in my servers, those've been the only two I really need consistently (especially since Discord's Events system has gotten more robust). Lmk if you wanna look at the rules I wrote up for my TTRPG study server or chat about other moderation experiences.

realised in conversation with the americans in my polycule the other day that the English concept of a literary salon didn't cross the Atlantic outside of academic circles but yeah, I had in mind a fairly close-knit group to which others would maybe be invited later on the basis of a decision by existing members, not something open to all (hence why I didn't put any tags on the post, but it somehow grew legs anyway) - this is what I'm planning to set up as a starting point
