Featured Discord Community: Storytelling Shenanigans

Two months into my own journey I encountered the "omegaverse" for the first time and needed an education. At the same time I continued to see post after post on reddit from new narrators and writers like myself struggling with DAWs and ACX and Auditioning and Marketing and...well why not bring them all together? So I created Storytelling Shenanigans. What started as a blog for spicy romance writers/narrators has grown into a vibrant, supportive community of creatives and artists.
Oh yeah, we have a smut dungeon.
