‘Lo. I’m Paperclippe, or Em. I write all all kindsa shite. Sci-fi, horror, fantasy, eldritch, fanfic, and comedy too.
Current #wip include Good Horror Geoff about a tentacle monster who rooms with a lady called Karen, a dystopian fic about powered people on the run from the law, and the big project, The 2nd Law, about an aviatrix uncovering a covert plot about the atomic bomb two years after nuclear war in 2025.
@stitchfeather Yes! That's one of my favourite things. I can squirrel away "at home" if I want, or wander outside and people watch. It's great!
What’s the best iOS app for Mastodon?
@DarckCrystale I did, thank you! ^_^
Salut, mastomonde! I hope your Wednesday has thus far been good!
Started my day off with a bit of energy work & now I'm kinda jazzed.
@Kirabug A single letter changes the WHOLE tone of the story. 😂
Okay, gotta make a go of this "sleep" thing. Except all the folks in Australia & New Zealand are awake right now, and you're some of my favourites.
Ah well. There's always tonight. B'nuit, tout le monde. Mastomonde? Yes, yes I quite like this. B'nuit, mastomonde.
@shaunduke You're welcome. :)
Rapport definitely helps! That's part of what made my first AW game so much more comfortable than it could have been, given how much that system is dialogue-/description-driven. Playing with friends, we were all new to it, and just zero bothers were given, you know?
@ruth I see, I see! And then I DTFR and found an article that explained the origins & whatnot.
@shaunduke I'm a weirdo and really like Do! Pilgrims of the Flying Temple, The Dresden Files RPG, Apocalypse World. I also adore more trad games like Pathfinder, Exalted. Not a huge fan of social combat-heavy games 'cause I suck at improv. Give me dice and fun/interesting mechanics, and I'll give it a go.
Oh, also -- check out dice.camp! The entire instance is geared toward tabletop gamers. :D
I'm not saying that learning to code Javascript warped me, but I just left a NTS in my working doc

Ok, do anyone have a tutorial on how we can get a button "share on Fediverse" on a webpage?
Boost appreciated 💙
Bad typos in my novel(la):
"Some people might think it's utterly stupid brining your pets under such circumstances, but..."
LB articulates part of the reason I've (surprisingly to me) taken so quickly to Mastodon. Being on LJ, oh, you know, over 15 years ago, was a completely different entity than social media today. And I liked it (and here) a lot better because of this. Not that I want to yell at anyone, but because it's smallish and community-ish and *lovely.*
actually the thing about mastodon that keeps hitting me is that it's a return to the governance model of the internet of the 90s, which is the "local dictator", with a single admin or a small mod team who are the sole owners and operators of a site. and like, oh right, anybody who's only used, say, twitter and facebook and youtube and tumblr and myspace and so forth and so on would have had absolutely no exposure to, because all major social media platforms online for the past ten years or so have been huge corporate monoliths (or wannabe huge corporate monoliths). getting mad at brad on livejournal was a very different thing than getting mad at jack on twitter or david karp on tumblr, because lj was brad's site in a way that was very different from jack being CEO of twitter
@ruth I have a stack at home, just waiting. The joy of opening a new journal, and just... inking that first page. So lovely!

A lot of Indy Comics Twitter has descended upon Mastodon.social, grinding @Gargron's image server to a halt.
If y'all decide you’re serious about this place, let me make a suggestion: if you’re part of a collective, then maybe your group should think about running an instance. If nobody in your collective is crazy enough to start one from scratch, there’s always places like masto.host, which make it pretty damn easy.
Also consider throwing a little $ into the Patreon for both whatever instance you end up on, and/or for overall Mastodon development. We don’t have VC or advertisers paying the bills, let’s keep it that way.
