This is something I'm still struggling with. The comm blueheronteanook got started to house fic and meta for my fandom, though there is more meta on there nowadays. It acts as a static link repository of more polished stuff. Additionally, there is a Discord server where most of the chatter really happens. I've linked the Discord in the comm, so people who poke around it long enough should see it.
It would be nice to have some way to invite consistent commentors on Ao3 to talk more, but Ao3 doesn't have DMs that let me privately send a Discord link over. A lot of them have consistent usernames across multiple platforms, so I can find them on tumblr, but I'm worried that finding them on there to send an invite might come across as stalkerish. At this point, I'm considering putting an invite link in the last chapter of my fics, so that people invested enough to reach the end will see it. It's hard to say how anything will go without actually trying it, which is tough.
