Well, it looks like more folks are still hanging around fandom on LJ/IJ/DW than I feared! Maybe I'm not too late to get back into things at least a bit, eh??

So, as I suggested in that earlier post, I'm thinking about putting together a little "fandom revival" comm where interested parties can be fannish together. Just a centralized gathering

I don't know a thing about Discord; don't think I ever heard of it until just now. But I guess I could learn?

I don't know a whole lot about it either (yet), but how hard could it be? (Famous last words??) I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure you can use it directly in your browser if you prefer that to downloading it. In any case, I'll get it all figured out soon...

You can, yes, although downloading a client probably offers a lot of configuration options.

I wouldn't not look at an LJ comm, but I would prefer DW. I wouldn't use a chat wherever it was.

Is this intended to be pan-fandom, or just HP, or...?

[r_grayjoy]

My thinking it that it would be intended for people who are in (or at least used to be in) HP fandom, but discussion wouldn't be limited to HP-specific topics. In other words, it'll be a smallish collection of "our" people, but "we" can talk about/link to whatever is making us squee these days.

btw, the point of "I wouldn't use a chat" wasn't merely to be a wet blanket, but just "therefore, disregard my opinions on choice of platform".

[r_grayjoy]

Oh, I figured that, no worries!

Hey! This sounds cool. I prefer DW as I only go on LJ if I have to. Such ads! Such ancient feelings of betrayal!

Also, I recently installed Discord for long-distance D&D and it is easy to use. :)
