Not a lot of time to comb through the replies here.

Suffice it to say I don't think that it's something that's gonna get solved by a single monolithic solution, I think the community will need to gel around 2-3 things that solve different overlapping parts of the need: for example, Discord or Slack for some real-time social-connecting & chatting. An established well-moderated Facebook group for that platform (because if you don't include Facebook you'll miss a big chunk of folks; personally that platform's not for me, but it is the big leader in the field) — sounds like there's one out there already. Probably a Wiki or similar to store fan resources like Word of Jim.

Is the Malazan Empire, books of the Fallen a good series?
I like that website by the way. Very nice.
Both are.

We should start working on this...

We don't need a Forum to do it, and we can put WOJ collection and some other References there using the Malazan wiki as a guide.

I’m in the process of reading it now. The writing is decent, the story interesting, and there are some fair bits of dry humour. One of the things I like is that it’s a vast world with many, many characters and the story isn’t spoon fed to you (quite the contrary, it just immerses you without explanation and you learn by context). Each book so far, on the sixth now, has different point of view characters and even occur in different time periods and on various continents.

I will say that the first book has been, by far, the worst to the point I’m at, as you might expect. It’s a bit rougher in terms of writing and some of the story elements made me roll my eyes (though, not as much as Dresden Files). The author really corrected course by the second book, though, reining in the eye roll inducing portions and converting them into that dry humour I mentioned.

Anyway, I recommend the series for what it’s worth.
