#engenderedwriting — Public Fediverse posts

@CA_Hawthorne

It would depend on the content and how it's done. Right now, a lot of the same questions are appearing on different hashtags.

That was the impetus that made me create #engenderedWriting. I wanted to help writers think about gender in storytelling—okay, honestly, prod them. Whilst I ended the prompt, the hashtag questions are at #engenderedWritingQ. I got to a 100 or so.

I follow #eroticMusings though I don't write intentionally erotic fiction. It helps me think about spicy stories and subplots, as well as the innuendo that's passing through my stories.

So, @paranoiapen, I'd be attracted to a new prompt that addresses different facets of writing or craft beyond the basics, or makes me think deeply on motivation or the human condition. But that's me…

@paranoiapen Hehehe. I did about a hundred with #EngenderedWritingQ and #EngenderedWriting. It was fun, and if you decide to do so also, have fun.

Excuse a drunk post. 12oz of Tioga-Sequoia (Fresno) dark beer and I'm tipsy! (Very tasty, however.) Lightweight, definitely. How does anyone like this feeling of not being able to determine what's horizontal with gravity pulling you at unpredictable times? Well, I'm drinking lots of water now, and working to remember the feeling for writing into my stories. Blech!

I would like to be the first to welcome you to the writing community here. There is no algorithm like on X/Twitter and other services to generate a timeline of posts (called toots) on Mastodon. To do this you follow people that interest you, which you did for me so you've got this. We also follow keyword hashtags like #WritingCommunity and include those hashtags in our posts when they apply.

Including the following hashtags and the accounts allow you to be found by like-minded people. If you don't include them, you won't be noticed. Much. You do have a recognizable name…

There are also hashtag writer challenge games, where like-minded authors reply and discuss author-y things. It is both a good way to procrastinate (as if we need that), but also an opportunity to think about current characters and techniques and read what other authors think about the subject. Here are some incomplete lists to get you started.

These identify your community.

#Writer #Author #WritersOfMastodon #bookstodon #Writing

#SF #scifi #ScienceFiction #Fantasy #Mystery #Romance #Thriller #horror

Games:

#PennedPossibilities
#WritersCoffeeClub
#ScibesAndMakers
#WordWeavers
#TimeTravelAuthors
#EngenderedWriting

There's more, but if you check these out, you'll quickly be surrounded by the like-minded. Also, since I follow a multitude of authors, but also artists and creative people, you are welcome to raid my follow list on my profile page for other accounts to follow.

Last, please take a moment to fill in your profile page. I do admit your name and banner picture is a great intro, but it's a good place to note what you love to talk about, what you would rather talk about, and it may not just be about writing and publishing. Today is good time to do that. (I guess RS is a little pushy.) Again, you are welcome to look at my profile page (and others) for ideas.

If you provide links anywhere on Mastodon, but definitely when building your profile page, include the full http version of the link. If you do, it becomes clickable.

Of note in regard to profiles, you can pin things like a longer introduction post or an essay you wish to share, so it is the first post visitors see. It's one of the features and actions hidden in the three dots menu (…) at the end of a post.

Again, welcome. Feel free to ask questions. If you use community hashtags, others might answer also.

@aurora @Fragglemuppet Hey, guys! I'm the host of Penned Possibilities. Let's not leave out the amazing #EngenderedWriting as well. It's such an awesome group of people there.

There are so many good writing hashtags in general on Mastodon, too. Not just the groups. I absolutely love it. So many ways to make friends and meet new people.

This post is to announce to all those who knew about my web-novel Mars Needed Women, who may have boosted or linked to it, that I have deleted the posts from Mastodon. I am heavily into revising it for publication.To prevent 404ing, I've left only the jacket blurb post of March 1st. As best I can remember, that's the only link I gave out. I hope so. I'm tagging hashtags to which I posted links to the novel this one time to prevent confusion. You are welcome to PM me.

#pennedpossibilities #engenderedWriting #writerscoffeeclub #wordweavers #scribesandmakers #writever #writephant

TL;DR

The story was published daily in March 2024 as part of a #Writever challenge, and I completed all 31 chapters one a day using all 31 Women's Rights prompts, managing to complete the last chapter and post it only 20 minutes into April 1st.

The story was definitely beta, with a plot hole and janky science and a few character boo-boos, but I like the result. I have since greatly revised the story and added plenty of material. Writing content daily to fit it into a toot-length that worked out to 750-800 words max forced compromises.

I plan to publish the novel in book form. As such, I have deleted the original free-to-read version. When I've sold or published the novel, I'll be sure to inform all my followers.

If you were part way through the story, PM me.

For you that read it, and for those who favorited chapters, Thank you.

Welcome to the writing community. @strangeseawolf answered your direct question, but I'd like to answer your indirect one. On Mastodon we ALSO follow keyword hashtags like #WritingCommunity and include those hashtags in our posts when they apply. These hashtag and the accounts we follow take the place of an algorithm elsewhere, so if you don't include them you won't be noticed (much). There are also hashtag writer challenge games, where likeminded authors reply and discuss author-y things. Here are some incomplete lists to get you started.

Last, take a moment to fill in your profile page. Today is good. Again, you are welcome to look at mine (and others) for ideas. If you provide links, include the full http version. If you do, they become clickable. An interesting profile and your posts are how people decide to follow you.

Welcome to the writing community. @strangeseawolf answered your direct question, but I'd like to answer your indirect one. On Mastodon we ALSO follow keyword hashtags like #WritingCommunity and include those hashtags in our posts when they apply. These hashtag and the accounts we follow take the place of an algorithm elsewhere, so if you don't include them you won't be noticed (much). There are also hashtag writer challenge games, where likeminded authors reply and discuss author-y things. Here are some incomplete lists to get you started.

#Writer #Author #WritersOfMastodon #bookstodon #Writing

#SF #scifi #ScienceFiction #Fantasy #Mystery #Romance #Thriller #horror

"Games:"

#PennedPossibilities
#WritersCoffeeClub
#ScibesAndMakers
#WordWeavers
#TimeTravelAuthors
#EngenderedWriting
#Writever
#Writephant

There's more, but if you check these out, you'll quickly be surrounded by the like-minded. Also, since I follow a multitude of authors, but also artists and creative people, you are welcome to raid my follow list on my profile page for other accounts to follow.

Last, take a moment to fill in your profile page. Today is good. Again, you are welcome to look at mine (and others) for ideas. If you provide links, include the full http version. If you do, they become clickable. An interesting profile and your posts are how people decide to follow you.

#ScribesAndMakers 2503.19 2/2 — At what age did you start creating?

I'm being meta in this post, talking about what I thought answering this question originally. As a gender fiction writer, the response to this question fascinated me! Let me in advance apologize for going all Sherlock Holmes on you folk. Gender roles and preferences are schooled into us until they're subliminal. Authors pervert the programming to write believable characters that are both different from them and of different genders or preferences. Our writing contains subtexts and hidden confessions that come out in our essays, maybe even our fiction, that we may or may not be aware of, or, granted, may not care about.

Still...

Many of us authors in this community use pen names, as do I, or an ungendered alias online, as do I, going so far as to use a pretty picture avatar, as do I, to obfuscate our identity, or to assert a political identity instead. My avatar highlights my comedic side.

Yet...

Yet, many of the answers to this question indirectly maybe inadvertently announced a gender identity (not necessarily a birth gender; that's understood). I crafted my rather typical answer to this question to answer truthfully but equivocally as to hints about my gender and gender identity.

I can remember ... playing imaginary games with my toys, making them walk, making them roll, making them fly, and sometimes tea was involved. The figurines talked and we gabbed and gossiped and discussed important life events! The vehicles made what I thought very authentic noises!! There were adventures galore!!!

Both girl words and boy words, and words that say the same thing in an ungendered fashion. Gossip and tea but also figurines, not dolls.

That said, reading the responses I realized I had incorrectly guessed the gender of many authors. Word choice counts, and it counts at many levels. May I suggest you read some of the responses again?

PS: Ask me about some of this gender role and identity stuff on Talk To Me Day, if you want. #EngenderedWriting

@loismcmasterb Welcome. While you are likely to be too busy for prompts and daily challenges, there are some hashtags you might follow on your journey through Mastodon if this is your beginning here:

#writingCommunity #writersOfMastodon #bookstodon #writer #writing #author #fiction #SF #sciencefiction

#Feditips is a good search.

There's a sense of community around these challenges: #PennedPossibilities, #WritersCoffeeClub, #WordWeavers, #ScribesAndMakers, #TimeTravelAuthors, and my now completed #EngenderedWriting.

Since you mentioned filters, filtering out (hashtag) uspol and politics is pretty effective.

I've followed a lot of writers and artists. Most are toward the beginning of my Follows list. Feel free to raid my Follows and Followers lists to your hearts content.

Again, welcome.

#ScribesAndMakers 2503.01 2/2— What are your goals for the month?

Added a new goal: An SF micro-novel written from #writever daily prompts named with a title tag: #RSMarsNeededWomen. In the French version of the prompt, the month "March" is Mars and the theme is women's rights. For some strange reason the two combined in my head into an idea for space opera. Viva la #engenderedWriting! Consider following me as I gin up a gender fiction story from... nothing, going gonzo pantser on this. I've written 2 micro-chapters of 31. I'll need some cheering on, whilst I also try to finish the main novel. Click the title tag above for the story, or the link below for this month's daily writing prompts.
