This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed π¨
Rules
AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).
Nudity: Nudity is and has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude subject matter.
Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.
Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

I wish you luck finding it! What do you normally read?
I just recently finished a book on the Soviet space dogs. That was pretty easy to knock out, as it was about half pictures.
I need to restart What an Owl Knows, as I started it a year or so ago and got overwhelmed by the amount of stuff in it and stopped to research some of the new things I learned.
Also got myself Guards! Guards! to check out Discworld.
Otherwise a bunch of classic sci-fi and King/Koontz horror stuff.
I've started music lessons around 18 months ago as well, so that's taken a big slice of that reading time in addition to my recent brain struggles.
Around the same time I also started reading manga, as the typically shorter chapters make it easier to read in small bits. Been able to knock out a bunch of that.
I've always wanted to get into Discworld but have never gotten to it. Where do you recommend I start?
I'm not the best to answer that. I haven't read any yet, but someone here told me The Hogfather was free on YouTube, and I watched that and loved it! It's a pinch bizarre without context, but was like a British comedy version of A Nightmare Before Christmas.
I usually see Guards, Guards recommended in my circles, but the books take place in all over different parts of the story world, so you have all types of stories and fantasy subgenres to choose from.
There does look to be at least one Discworld community on here that will gladly recommend a few, or I located this fantastical flowchart to help you find a starting place you would enjoy.
Thank you!!
Always glad to be useful! π
