If you just want an audience, you could always come by rainbowfic. We're not super busy lately but I'd like to see about changing that!

I have self-pubbed and not made much at all, mostly just to be able to say I'd done it, to be honest. So I don't have anything useful to add.

I am in a discord server with some other, more seriously aspiring writers than I feel like I am, who are making progress with publishing. Would you be interested in shop talk or do you have enough of that already?
