Twenty of us (so far) have started a discord server for writers who are at least aspiring to create things which are a bit less commercial or outright genre -- that can be purely literary fiction or genre fiction with a literary edge, something stylised or postmodern or experimental or whatever else. We'd love for others to join us so we can get this community thriving. If you ever feel reluctant to discuss your work on reddit for fear of being called pretentious or a snob, but don't want to join the intellectual soggy biscuit circle on substack, this might be the place for you.

• Genre/s: Literary and other
• Goals/expectations/commitment: Who can say? Just try to engage when you can.
• Writing/experience level: Everyone but some experience is great. 18+ Only.
• Meeting place: Discord
• Max size: That's Max's business.

Freshly potted up, with its siblings.

Some asked to see the roots last year but I don't want to take the whole rootball apart.

Last year.

I have established that the scion is T. Peruvianus.
