Mastodon and the Wandering Shop
So, there’s a social network called Mastodon. It’s basically the only one that I’m active on these days.
Mastodon is a federated social network, which means that individuals and groups of folks get together to build and pay for a server that runs the Mastodon software. Each server is called an instance.
The Mastodon instance that I joined is a server that is loosely organized with members who are interested in Science Fiction and Fantasy. It has the name, Wandering Shop.
My account there is: @vollink@wandering.shop
If you are also interested in getting an invite to the wandering.shop
instance of the Mastodon social network, drop me a line, at least for
this year, I do have invites, reach out.
Wandering Shop Stories
There is an account @wss366@wandering.shop that runs a daily writing prompt, using the “hashtag” #wss366. It looks a bit like this (with a different word)…
Today’s Wandering Shop Stories #prompt is #word. Feel like writing something short and sweet that has the word “word” in it? Check out the definitions of the word at: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/word Join in and tag it with #wss366! #writing #WritingLife #microfiction
Anyway, I’ve started doing this (tomorrow, haha, I back-dated this post).
Follow along on my blog, or directly on Wandering Shop…
My WSS Posts
At the bottom of each post, I include a link to my Wandering Shop post to the same story as the one written. I do this for my own tracking, more than trying to get anyone to actually go to that post.
