The TNP Discord

Our discord server is a small but mighty year-round creative community!

We're a rinharu-focused discord server, but all-ships friendly. You can even talk about your other fandoms! The server is the hub for our event series and is the best place for updates. You can also just come and chill, discuss the series, or join in on sprints!Also we make shrimp puns. 🦐

We know that discord servers can be hit or miss, and it can feel weird jumping into a new space. We want you to be comfortable and confident about joining, so here are our community rules.

The discord invite will be displayed on screen after you submit the form!
