#WritersCoffeeClub 24. Have you ever written a work that was a retelling of another work?

Not exactly a "retelling" than "translation with added commentary".

But I observe all the time how folk tales got retold in different guises and context, and many - possibly the majority - count as #fanfiction in my view. Some of them are just more blatant about it than others.

The #Bible fanfiction stories in particular are a hoot.

#WebAuthorsCafe Jul 21-27: Introduce yourself and your work. If you want, add a link to where your work can be found.

I imagine most of you know who I am. I am a prolific writer of serialized OG #Yuri, weird tales, and #FanFiction. All available on AO3 and PIXIV. (When I say prolific, I am still dwarfed by many here.) I write mainly queer fiction, some fetish fiction, poly and families of choice and some with ASD and ace characters. All of which provide me with an umbrella to shelter under.

My work can be found at:

I understand why it's nice - esp. on mobile phones - to have posts no longer than* X* length. Browsability matters!
However, limiting the default characters significantly limits #mastodon adoption, as it is inappropriate for what they want to do... which could be everything from #journalism to #writing to #fanfiction.

But devs solved this problem 25 years ago on #livejournal, with the lj-cut tag.
Hey, @Gargron ... a time-tested #opensource solution that we KNOW works!
