Fun fact: when you include photos in your #WriteFreely blog posts, they show up in your posts on #Mastodon and other #fediverse platforms!
Recent example from @flatmountain.
Hi! We're new to mastodon and looking forward to figuring everything out. We are a popular flash fiction litmag :)
Hello! I am coder by profession, who loves to read & write to keep myself inspired. I have been a blogger for more than 15 years, but lost touch with writing when Twitter was at it’s peak. May be I lost love for my words.
Anyway recently IndieWeb got my love for the technology and also writing back. So been working on a lot many Indie projects & writing my heart out at my blog since then. My hope is this place doesn't kill my drive for reading and writing; rather inspires it.
Hey there, I am Nachtlicht, or Hugs! Im a young author from germany looking for friends and peers to share my writing journey with.
Most of my work is queer and/or (but mostly and) fantasy focused, but I alway love to explore.
I also do art and other creative things!

#introduction time! I am a student currently trying to change careers from manufacturing to editing. That middle age crept up on me and my knees are shot. I am in my 40's and live in the Inland Empire of California.
I am usually #reading and #writing. I am looking forward to figuring this whole Fediverse thing out.
As I am #newHere, here is my #introduction in English.
I am a hobby #writer and #firefighter from #Germany with an educational background in #science. Due to the pandemic, I do currently not really write, but I hope my energy will come back soon.
My favourite genre is #urbanFantasy and, next to short stories in other genres, my #workInProgress is a #novel about the #werewolves living in the area around #Heidelberg (Germany).
I am looking forward to connect to others :-)
My primary WIP is a medical suspense about a global pandemic. No, not that one. Measles! And the fatal form of encephalitis it causes a decade later. Glad to be here, looking forward to following other authors and people trying to improve their writing craft! #Introduction

Originally from the Midwest US, now SE coast of England. I have a whippet, a Honda Civic, a husband, 2 aquariums, a cat. A clean slate is nice. Maybe I'll even leave my drunk posts up here.
#Introduction I've been here a while, but I thought I would say something for the people just joining now and scrolling the tag
I write anarchy flavoured free fiction at https://write.as/bbchapman/ that is LGBTQ+ centered, and aims to explore decolonisation, restorative justice and horizontal organisation. I am English Gypsy (among other mixed heritages) and currently offer free beta reading for stories that look to include Gypsy, Roma and Traveller characters in their works.
Hello! ✌️😁
when the privacy advocates
have all had their way
the good admen and women

I'm a Brazilian who fell in love with winter living in Canada. I'm reading #books all the time (#scifi and #fantasy) and I love #hiking, #running, #yoga, #writing, #heavymetal music, #science, #journaling, #tea and lots of quiet time. I have a background in Engineering and I work with spreadsheets and construction drawings as an estimator.
Hello late night people! Wanted to make the dive into Mastodon in a place that seems nice and this seems like a wonderful community!
I write queer slice of life and have my debut novel in the pipeline for a release in the second half of this year! If you also do slice of life or queer fiction, let me know. Always happy to read more :)
