@rcs Do you do this with every writer you read?
I'm not claiming my stories are perfect, but when they're published they're done, and won't be changed apart from fixing typos.
Your edit removes "You ask the wrong question" which IMO is the key like of the story.

@EHirschman I'd rather you didn't. Sorry.
@Fida I'm not him, though I've enjoyed his stories on Twitter for many years.
"Please," said the man, "can you do magic to make me be kind?"
"No," said the witch. "Magic cannot change anyone's nature."
"So there is no hope for me?"
"You ask the wrong question. Kind is not something you are. It is what you do."
"Is it that simple?"
"It is that hard."

Teryl's Tales of Whim~It was definitely not rope.
The braided fibers were human hair, I was certain.
So I followed it, half expecting a young royal of some sort or another up in a tower, or in a well - trapped somewhere.
I'd walked almost a mile when I was disappointed to find the end of it, alongside a fancy dagger.
Whoever had felt weighed down by their tresses had chosen to shed them.
I followed the braid back, rolling it up neatly, just to tidy up a bit.

@babumenos I have a personal account I use as a person, IYSWIM. I do the same on other platforms (Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, etc)
MicroSFF is the account I use for telling stories.

Before I joined this instance in 2017, I had a look around, and asked the wandering.shop admin if I would fit there. Given that I would mostly be publishing to my followers rather than participating in the community, my goals and the instance's didn't align, and I fully respect that. Looking at writing.exchange, they seem to have similar goals and rules.
Even though I'm only one person, when I tell microstories I am, in effect, a brand.

** Mulling over the idea of relocating to a smaller instance. Looking for somewhere well moderated, where I wouldn't look out of place (so focus on SF/F and/or story-telling), and accepting that I'd be more involved with my existing audience than participating in the local community.
(The last part there might indicate I should set up my own instance, to be fair.)
Thoughts and recommendations appreciated! **
