Is there an or community here? I've been using threads for that as it has a very active one

Mastodon is so broad and the federated model means I've basically only ever seen tech content since that's what I'm connected to

@chas @elysegrasso there's an active community here, with many writing servers depending on what you write. I'm on a smut-focused server with a lot of writers and artists (smutlandia.com) and I have another account on wandering.shop, which has a lot of SF&F authors.

You can also interact with writers and readers regardless of server with hashtag games like and and groups like @bookstodon

Hello Authors of Masto?

Short story collections. Strong theme, or just the best stories? Can a collection include nightmares and light-hearted stuff? (An experienced author says a good collection does not vary wildly in tone. But my stuff does).

what do you think as a reader, and what do you do yourself?

@bookstodon

PS I have some free on my website

This is it, folkes! My debut novel has hit KS! Jump on over and check it out, back it for all you can afford, or at the very least, give this a boost. While you're there, mention you saw the link on in the comments and we can cross promote this platform!

A trashy tale of blood and betrayal, great summer reading with a bit of bite in the theme.

The cover of Cruel Provocations shows gold lettering on the background of a rich blue of light filtering through trees. Surrounding this are callouts informing you of the book's contents: Female lead, Lightning Punk, Enemies to lovers to enemies to lovers, Fae vs Machines, 18th Century France, Dark Mystery, villain as hero, magic. The city came to claim Therasia's lands. Can this one, half-fae hunter resist them? Only if she uncovers the truth about her own nature and powers. Will her growing feelings for one of the soldiers prove to be her salvation, or with lust and betrayal prove her downfall? There are faeries, blood, romance, creeping horrors and angry soldiers. Therasia shows herself to be a violent half-fae with few scruples. We learn she is fighting tooth and claw not only to preserve her way of life, but to prevent a war that would slaughter thousands, and halt a mighty power struggle brewing among the fae.

    praise for the final days of kobold kody's frontier exposition and tonic show "a complete exploration of the lengths we'll go to feel connected, belong, and have a purpose. within each character's response to the show, you'll see a part of yourself." -ed latimore, beststelling author of sober letters to my drunken self "an intriguing and fantastical tale of power lost and gained, brimming with spiritual and mythological allegory" -candice zee, multi-award-winning author of the munchkins series "philosophical and humane, [the book] is a magical fable about changing one's destiny for the better" -foreword reviews
    about the press pink narcissus is a small press publisher founded in 2010 that specializes in speculative fiction with an LGBTQ+ and feminist slant. heroic quests, epic battles, worlds populated with monsters, errant knights, faerie folk, wizards, and dragons - we seek out the original in the traditional
    a review of kobold kody's frontier exposition and tonic show, by sean 5 stars - fun read! So, I came across the book in a weird way. This author happens to frequent a small Twitch stream that I frequent. I wasn't expecting much from the book but very quickly into it I was very intrigued and had a great time through the whole book. I hope the author puts out some more fantasy. I'd love to hear more about the Empire in the book which is just something in the background.

    about the final days of kobold kody's frontier exposition and tonic show: the end is near for kobold kody's frontier exposition and tonic show, but andra, the show's fortune-teller, is the only one who knows. as the seams come undone and the curtain falls for the last time, it's up to her to save as many of her friends as she can: the dragon-tamer, the barbarian, the pyromancer, the goblins - and, if she can find a way, herself

    150 — What inspired the idea for your WIP? (1/2)

    For this question, I'll be mentioning my original WIP that I use for , if only because it's something of MINE. It's called . I'm in love with work. I played and growing up. It's a genre I've always loved. Films, shows, games, all of it. It's influenced me over the years in my writing. The TTRPG's I mentioned were where Alexios was born. :cybre_heart_pink:
