This account is for people in the filk (science fiction folk music) community. It will give news of filksings, conventions, recordings, etc. Operated by Gary McGath, author of Tomorrow's Songs Today.

This account is going into hibernation while I figure out where to move it — or whether it's worth staying on Mastodon at all.

Eli Goldberg's Prometheus Music is offering a PDF of Leslie Fish's personal filk book as a fundraiser for preservation of Leslie's songs.

Please read the description carefully before paying. This isn't a curated, edited, and typeset book, but a huge collection of scans of Leslie's personal song pages, and perhaps even more interesting for this.

Leslie Fish’s filkbook (PDF), Prometheus Music

Ever wanted to just sit down and browse through Leslie Fish's own, personal filkbook? We're making a PDF copy of about 500 pages of Leslie's filkbook...

(On last boost) Looking forward to singing silly songs at people at MillCon!
Deleted an erroneous post. @jtsteam will be the GoH at MillCon, not Triple Time. Thanks to @hrrunka (whose correction I'm not seeing here, but saw from my personal account) for catching this.
Patiently waiting for a resolution on the #blocklist issue. I understand that Mastodon admins have lives and don't get paid for this. Stay tuned...
I've just downloaded a current archive of this account, on the chance I may have to move quickly to another server. I hope it won't be necessary but want to be ready.
Just figured out what's happening: IndieWeb has put liberdon.com (where I have my personal account) on its very long list of "moderated" servers. Its entry in the list says "suspended" and "reason not available." Hopefully this is an error. If it's permanent, I'll have to find a new server for @filknews .
Hoping most of my followers can still see this post: Triple Time, the 34th UK filk convention is happening! Feb. 2-4, 2024, Buxton, Derbyshire (near Manchester). http://www.contabile.org.uk/tripletime/

I tried re-following this account from my personal account, and it shows that a follow request is pending. However, this account doesn't show any pending follow requests.

I'm hoping something is just temporarily broken on IndieWeb and will be fixed soon.

Some weird stuff is happening on IndieWeb. My personal account got removed as a follower from this account, not because of any action I took. My follower count here is slightly down. If you got kicked off as a follower in the past few days, it wasn't my doing (and you probably aren't seeing this).
