#SelfHosting week 1, phase 3.
Decision is almost made, considering a site based on hybrid solutions:
Newsletter -> buttondown
stories -> writefreely
interactions/comments -> lemmy (where stories from writefreely will spread to fediverse) and at this point I find less useful to federate Writefreely, given that this platform has no comments. Makes sense a "reply via e-mail" pointing to LetterBird page I have, and "follow [category/community] on Lemmy to comment via Fediverse.
What's missing? A stable navigation menu, and an internal search engine. Found a way to place a landing for the site, through writefreely's admin settings.
My main (no longer so hidden) intention is get rid of WordPress, despite self-hosted its philosophy is drastically changing.
And I even have Bearblog which solves some of the issues for nav menu and maybe search bar, but it's a centralized platform depending on one person only. Of course accessibility is the main focus, both in back and front-end.
Any suggestion or feedback is highly appreciated, this month will be dedicated to tests and experiments.

Are you one of those people who say "I'd rather read your crappy original writing than something generated by AI?" Now's the time to put your money where your mouth is!
I, without any previous experience, wrote 100 different short stories, around 1,000 words each, for a total of over 105,000 words! Find them on my #blog, or don't; it's a free country!

Canadian fantasy author M.K. Lobb responds to a scam email. I hope this is real -- I found it on FB, so who knows? But it's too good not to share.

I know I've already linked to it some months ago, but it just came up in a conversation and I am pretty happy with this piece of writing, so linking again:
The Machines Ran On Anguish
https://yarn.rys.io/the-machines-ran-on-anguish/
I don't usually write fiction; this is my first fiction thing that I ever really put out publicly into the world. Be gentle.

I got an inspiration to write a "stream of consciousness" blog post about my lifelong struggles with mental health.
It touches on some pretty heavy topics, but I feel like I was finally able to really unleash my creative writing spirit that has been suppressed for so long.
Give it a read if you'd like.

My previous instance is gone and I’ve been away for a while. It’s time for a new #introduction !
I’m Freddie A. Clark, #Horror, #Scifi and #Grimdark #author.
I’ll post about #writing, #books, and my interests (non-exhaustive list ahead):
- Gaming
- #Cats
- Movies & ‘80s/‘90s anime
- Music ( #darksynth, #aggrotech, #metal, #nordicfolk)
My pronouns are they/them (he/him in gendered languages). I’ve been on T for 2 months and underwent top surgery last January.
Hope to find new friends here!

Paging #scifi authors: what are some semi-plausible lucrative materials that can be found in space and thus provide something to fight over?
I already have magnetic monopoles and island-of-stability superheavy elements that can be found in asteroids. Anything else?
I wrote a thing:
The Machines Ran on Anguish
https://yarn.rys.io/the-machines-ran-on-anguish/
This is not my normal thing. I don't usually write fiction. But I had this in the drawer for a while, and I don't think it belongs in the drawer.
So here we are. I spun some yarn.
