A few exciting changes around here.
Hey folks!
I have successfully hired a Discord administrator, a queer woman with literally decades of experience as a forum moderator in the gaming industry and on a major internet discussion site.
I expect moderating you all will be a cakewalk for her with that kind of background, and you won't disappoint me, will you? Because you're awesome and you know how to treat people!
This means that the Discord for Patrons and subscribers will be going live very shortly.
I think initially access will be limited to Patreon patrons at the $3 and higher level, and paying subscribers to the newsletter (as a reminder, the content in both places is the same, more or less. You never need to sign up for both to get access to my writing.)
One thing I'm really looking forward to is inviting other authors in for intimate AMA-type cocktail/mocktail party events, probably on a monthly basis as we spin stuff up. (Bring your own *ocktail.) I'll also have a channel for book discussion, and some of the book club conversation might move over there simply because it's easier to bring the two threads of subscribers together that way.
So watch this space! You'll be noticing a few edits to the Patreon front page and the tier descriptions, but those shouldn't affect anything operational: it's just a matter of bringing the text in line with what's going on now, rather than what was going on several years ago!
So if you are not a subscriber and you wish to participate in the Discord, here’s that button now:
Hope this finds you well,
Best,
Bear
