But as to the PPC Discord... it's not dead persay, but it certainly feels like a lot less PPC-based discussion goes on there than it used to. Rudi's is still an active place, however you usually have the same rota of people in there, and oftentimes it can be continuations of previous days RPs which feel (at least to me) rather hard for someone different to enter. And Rudi's is the only channel out of the 11 total that regularly deals with PPC stuff (besides Badfic, but that feels more like it's just quoting badfic than anything else). Oh and Rudi's doesn't always seem to be canonical anymore, but that may just be me.
It's acutally something that I've been thinking about talking/posting about for a while now. The PPC-ness of the PPC community feels like it's been draining away slowly. I was thinking about all the Discord servers I was in the other day and realised that the main reason I'm still in the PPC one is because of the D&D campaign that Badger is running in there. The European friendly write up while great has been a singular occurence, and I feel like it's become more of a chatting place for several groups of friends that interlink, rather than a chatting place for a writing community. The main reason I joined the PPC was to help hone my writing skills because I felt like it was a friendly community where doing that was not just easy but also actively supported, and yet I feel like that has been left by the wayside more and more since the launch of the Discord.
I mean, this is just my opinion obviously, and it's a fairly bleak look at things. But part of me suspects that my experiences aren't necessarily too far from the truth.
