@Mayor_of_Smartarse @marthawells @neilhimself Oh hello there! You're welcome to check out the public timeline and those who have shared their profiles on our instance over here - we're pretty open, but started out and still cultivate a SF&F-focused, writers-and-fans instance here.

🇨🇦 TRH 🇨🇦May 8, 2023

@Johannab @marthawells @neilhimself Thanks, that's kind of what your instance looks like. I made the document open to all, so anyone can add now. I just wanted a simple way for people to find their favourites.

Mike May 8, 2023

@Mayor_of_Smartarse @Johannab @marthawells @neilhimself I just recently found @lilithsaintcrow here on Mastodon and she should be on your list
