* the NIGHTCORNER *
To-do: add a fun banner, sections on discord & forum, section on nightcorner webring, make this page mobile friendly, link to a page with list of past events, thanks section, add fun graphics, nightcorner-specific color scheme (dark, with stars?)
The NIGHTCORNER is our little artist's community, consisting of a Discord server, forum, and -- several websites, including this one! I run it together with my girlfriend, Lentil, and my best friend, Reaperman! It started out as a place to view our work, as I don't really use social media nowadays, but it's since then grown into a wonderful and active community of artists, writers, and enthusiasts; there's much more to see and enjoy than just my artwork. Anyone's welcome to join the NIGHTCORNER, whether it's to see and share art, join in on our games and exchanges, or just to hang out!

* the NIGHTCORNER WEBRING *
Something something description here (this is a work in progress, just testing if this works). To do: make a thread to sign up for the webring; style the webring widget; make a (collapsible?) section for the members list + add member count; remove croutons; add explanation what a webring is, who this is for, and how to join Webringu script by PetraPixel.
* DISCORD SERVER *
You can join our Discord server through the link above! You don't need to join on Discord to be part of the NIGHTCORNER, but it's the best place to see our artwork, find out about commissions opening, chat with other NIGHTCORNEES, and keep up with games, events, and other NIGHTCORNER news. The community is for all ages, but you should meet Discord's local age requirements to join the server, or strictly keep your age (and other personal information) a secret.
* the FORUM *
https://nightcorner.freeforums.net/
The forum is where we host our games and events! To be able to join in on one of those, or to become part of the webring, you'll have to make a forum account, since communication and sign-ups go through the forum. Don't worry though - we don't have activity requirements, and outside of the things you sign up for, you don't have to post on the forum at all if you don't want to.
In the long term I'm looking for a way to improve and maybe move the forum to something nicer, but knowing myself that's probably not for another few years.
* the ARCHIVE *
We host all sorts of events and collaborative projects with the NIGHTCORNER -- like gift exchanges, art games such as telephone or group collabs, zines and writing challenges... Some of those are already up on the site, but I plan to eventually have an archive up of all past events excluding Character of the Week*.
(* It'd be complicated permission-wise.)

* Special Thanks *
My beautiful wife Lentil, for remembering everything I don't. My dearest friend Ángel for always reminding me to come back to the things I love and enjoy. The NIGHTCORNER wouldn't be what it is without either of you, and I wouldn't be who I am today without the NIGHTCORNER.
My beloved housemouse Orion, for managing events, helping me with my website, and vacuuming my room sometimes.
The NIGHTCORNER's other mods, djbighomesqtz and bibeengka_, for looking after the community and taking part of the work out of my hands. It's a nice, laid-back, and easy-to-manage community, but it wouldn't be without you.
Vriska, you know what you've done. Thanks.
And, of course, every past, current, and future member of the NIGHTCORNER, for supporting my work, sharing your own, and being some of the kindest and coolest people I've ever had the privilege of meeting. It literally wouldn't be a community without its members, and I couldn't ask for any better than you.
Thank you so, so much everyone! Let's be friends for a long time!
