I want to shout out @nicowritesbooks.bsky.social for their work in creating upwards of 50 authors pages in InkFoundry (In the past WEEK) to connect authors and their stories in the database. They're a SUPERSTAR!

If there are any other magazines, journals etc, who would like my help cataloguing their fiction by tags/genre/etc hit me up! The only caveat is that you have paid your authors!
@erincairns.bsky.social , founder of the fabulous InkFoundry did the lion's share of the story metadata entry with help from @quitevague.bsky.social and the Diabolical Plots First Readers. This might have taken me years to do myself! This was so helpful!

They made it! And I made them! :D I take these to bookish events to showcase InkFoundry, and I love handing them out, so if you see me in the wild, ask me for one!
@thisisguan.bsky.social... I have not forgotten! They are lurking, waiting for me to figure out how I'm gonna ship them 🤣

Another thing Erin does, which brings me joy every time I see them, is physical directories, little link books to stories, with story info, one line teasers, and QR code links. They're little books, theyre so neat! (I show them to people like HI DO YOU LIKE TO SEE COOL THINGS)

Big shout out to Erin Cairns
@erincairns.bsky.social . If you love short stories (or don't yet know you love short stories) you should check out her Ink Foundry, a tagged search site for short fiction! It is really neat!

Had fun today setting @inkfoundry.bsky.social as a hub to find my stories - including some previously unavailable online!
I could describe "For Every Bee a Hive," "A Living Planet," "The Successors" & more - but Inkfoundry's tagging system does the job so well 😎
