No, but given how authors haven't always had much in the way of a community of practice, it might as well be. The same is true for the author's newly re-found ability to bypass the print publishing industry's gatekeepers without having to resort to vanity self-publishing houses.

I wonder how the original circle of Cthulhu Mythos writers would have done if they'd had access to the modern internet.
