He hasn't made any good decisions, so this isn't really a surprise. My feed has steadily been dying as more and more people jump ship. Anyone who wants to stay in touch, you know where to find me. Bye, Twitter.
@GreatDismal You may have some issues with being on https://t.co/eHoJBrL5UM; it's a very large server and so some smaller servers are choosing to not connect to it due to how it's moderated (or not). But due to the distributed nature, there could be issues like that in other places too.
Folks, if you're not jumping to Mastodon because you think it's going to be really hard or something, it's not. The only way it's more complicated really is that user names aren't just @name, they're @[email protected]. Otherwise, it reminds me of Twitter in the good ol' days.
@louise3anne T-shirts can be hell to deal with due to sizing, so stick to rewards that are single SKUs, like books, stickers, that kind of thing. Lots of communication and encouraging backers to share is critical.
@louise3anne https://t.co/E8Cn9y4SJs This is one of them. Briefly, it's about building an audience ahead of time, and then relentlessly promoting before and during the crowdfund. Use things like podcasts, guest blogs, etc. to help extend your reach. Keep rewards universal if you can...
@TheLizLincoln Congrats on the new job! But yeah, that's a lot to soak up. I'm doing well; on a three-day weekend after working 11 days straight including a 3-day film shoot on the previous weekend, so enjoying the down time.
Those of us from the days of telnet etc. recognize Mastodon. It's what the internet was before billionaires controlled what you saw in exchange for selling your presence. It's slightly more difficult. It's also much better.
@ChrisseyWrites The only difference AFAIK is what shows up when you show the "server" feed. Otherwise, you can just follow people and check out hashtags wherever.
@ChrisseyWrites Depends on what you write; for SFF, https://t.co/Q51HpkVBat is one of the most popular, but most of the "go to" servers of any kind are full and only letting people join in limited quantities. You can join any server and follow anyone from any other server.
Big shout out to @louise3anne, who RT'd something a while back that led to me signing, for the first time, with a literary agent for my manuscript WORLDBREAKER. Thank you!
My PhD data collection begins with a survey!

If you watch/like Horror at all, please consider taking it - it’ll take less than 10 minutes and you’d make a horror researcher (me) hugely grateful 👻
