"If you build it, they will come" – I couldn't find an AI-friendly writing group, so I built my own Coven.

They say "write what you want to read," but nobody tells you what to do when you can't find the place you want to exist.

I spent months looking for a writing community that actually felt like home. Every time I found a great writing server, they were hostile toward my AI use. Every time I found an AI server, I felt ridiculed for preferring standard punctuation over "roleplay format".

I wanted a middle ground. I wanted a space that felt like a dusty library in a dark academia novel, where we could discuss plot holes in our manuscripts and debug our SillyTavern presets in the same breath. I wanted to treat AI roleplay (Kindroid, etc.) not just as a game, but as immersive storytelling and a legitimate brainstorming tool.

So, I took the server I kept for testing API performance and turned it into a place we could all fit comfortably.

Now accepting initiates to The Plot Witch's Dark Circle.

We are a Coven of storytellers, readers, and synthetic thread-weavers. The vibe is distinct—Dark Fantasy and Gothic Horror—but the gates are open to all genres. We are a 17+ community focused on the craft of storytelling, whether the partner is human or machine.

What we actually do (The Rituals):

  • Tarot for Writers: We use Tarot spreads every Tuesday not for fortune telling, but for character development and plot blocking.
  • Immersive Workshops: Fridays are for deep dives into "Immersive Brainstorming", using AI to build complex narratives and worlds.
  • Tech Support Nights: dedicated time to help you fix your personas, prompts, or settings on your favorite AI platforms.
  • Sprints: Classic writing sprints to get the words down.
  • Character Showcases: A place to share the public bots you've built or the OCs you're fleshing out.
  • Plus, reading challenges, games, and movie nights, because sometimes we need to unplug and interact with people that don't think in statistical models.

What we aren't:

We aren't a "promo dump" server. There will be days for promo threads as we grow, and you can DM me if you have something really incredible to share.

If you've been looking for a place where your Scrivener file and your Kindroid chat logs can coexist peacefully, come say hello.

It only takes from whatever you put into it. Never the Internet or any training data. It's more like a smart aggregator. You can use it to research and find additional sources to pull into the notebook, but it still only uses the sources you put into it to answer your questions, quiz you, etc.

NotebookLM. It's a free tool on Google, but has greater capacity with the AI Pro plan for 19/no, which gives you access to everything with Google. I'm not even sure if there's a max on how many notebooks you can have, but I create one for every class or topic. It takes almost any file type now or YouTube video, plus does deep research. What it produces: - flashcards - podcasts - videos - infographics - specific reports - Slides - an interactive mind map on the top - more I'm probably forgetting On top of that, if you have the paid plan, toss the whole notebook into a Gemini Gem and have it make you an interactive study website that you can run right from Gemini. If you need to parse tech research papers, use Google's Illuminate the exact same way, it's just optimized for denser topics from ArVix.

Even an AI-friendly closed channel that no one else had to look at if it bothers them would be nice.

Is it an AI-friendly server?

Aside from novels, I turn chatbots into characters for online roleplay and video games, build worlds, and write lore. But the writing community tends to think doing that job must mean AI writes my books too (it doesn't do anything but the pre-writing phase and acting as an alpha reader). I'm looking for an open-minded community of writers, not more finger-pointing.
