New Channels and Benefits on Discord!
🕑 Added 2020-04-09 13:41:10 +0000 UTCI have added all sorts of Channels! Oodles, even. There is no #oodles channel. But there is Content™!
Below I have the new stuff listed by tier, but there's all sorts of newness for every level of subscriber. And, for now, it's all on Discord.
Sorry to public followers, the discord is still subscribers only. Sad trombone.
General (all Patrons)
There are a few discussion boards open now which are a great place to ask me questions about my creative endeavors.
#general-aetherverse-questions
I set up this channel as a forum to ask me questions about Silk, Jester, Infinity Warp (if you follow that on DeviantArt) and the other weird characters that inhabit this "Aetherverse" as I decided to call it a few minutes ago. These can be questions about process and design, about possible future plans, etc. You can also ask questions about how the world works, though those answers might be a little vague, as I'm still building the rules and I also want to keep some cards hidden close to my chest. You can find the channel under "Aether Talk"
Exclusive (Dreamers and Morpheans)
#silks-daydream
At infrequent intervals, I'll be writing little "read-only "snippets of stories about Silk on the Discord, exclusive to Dreamers and Morpheans. You'll find them in the "Narratives and Stories" folder. The stories are meant to be a companion to the upcoming (hopefully) future comic Silk: My Dream Life (see my stretch goal). They'll include prequel material, side adventures that may not be something I want to draw out (but really help build the world) or possibly other interactions (maybe there's a chance Silk might encounter an OC of yours and help them deal with a dream? We'll see what the future holds). Currently, there are two entries under "#silks-daydream".
#tales-from-the-aether
I've wanted an outlet to explore the universe of dream TF for a while now; I think this might be just the place for it. This channel will have side stories that are not Silk-centric, by select TF authors, as sort of a fun side-road in Silk's universe. These stories may involve Silk, Chaos, and others, though more likely the authors that contribute will have new characters populate these stories. It'll be more of anthology thing, like The Animatrix (anyone watch that in the early 00's?).
Discussions!
You'll also have access to a discussion board for each of the story channels (under Aether Talk). Feel free to comment on the appropriate story channel there. There'll also be discussion channels for the comics, as well, so actual questions you want answered can go there (questions you want Silk to answer should still go on the #silk-ama).
That's about it! I know you all mostly came here for the art, but sometimes I like to stretch my writing chops a bit. It's not something I do often, but Silk started with a story I wrote back in the late 90's. I wanted to get back to that and at the same time increase some traffic on the Discord. This seemed like a good way to do it.
Also, what do you think about other uses for Discord? Do you know of other ways to utilize it that you wish I would do, but have been frustrated that I haven't? Should I make it less exclusive? Let me know what you think below!
