Okay so 1) do you know about Human Domestication Guide and 2) do you want to know an approximate history of how it became so big it got banned from a major hypno smut writing hub

Lol, short version then. HDG is a sci-fi smutfic about sexy alien plant communists keeping humans as pets. The setting activated enough people's brains that the author made a Discord for it, intended to spitball ideas for writing fic together. Enough fics got enough fans (who may or may not have been writing stories themselves) that 1) the Discord became less "community of writers" and more "setting fandom" (up to and including arguments about authors writing their kinnies wrong) and 2) there were so many people writing fics (often slowburns that never got anywhere because they were all modeling off One Fic In Particular but didn't have the stamina to do the writing) that over 50% of works posted on ReadOnlyMind (a fic site dedicated to hypno & mind control) were HDG fics until they finally went "please get your own site this is absurd." Now AFAIK they're all on AO3.

Anyways the parallel here is that from what I understand things started taking a downturn when the writing community circle expanded to include fan-first participants rather than friends who were all operating independently-but-in-community.

No idea where exactly I sit on your "otter and friends" to "never seen before" scale, but I get you, and if it ends up being more than basically a large group chat of the few dozen people I've seen regularly posting/commenting, I'll melt away and let it join the forever unread pile of basically-every-discord-i've-joined, Big servers are Too Much.

I definitely get you on this. As delta said, not sure where I fall on the scale (especially since I haven't posted in far too long (the bad brain has got me down bad)), but the vibe I was expecting was definitely closer to medium-to-large group chat, not something that requires dedicated mods.

Yeah, it feels a little like there's been a lot of wistful "wouldn't it be nice to have essentially a virtual cosy café table for [specifically the handful of writers chattering to each other] to chill around" and at this point readers are coming out the woodwork going "sweet, can I run admissions on the parasocial author exhibit"
