Great idea. I should probably be in that starter pack. I write spec fic mostly (but also other things). Here's a list of my stories. (For some reason, the image that comes up is my first story collection...but there are others!)

alexharford.bsky.social•102 days ago

Added!

That image is showing as it's set as your Open Graph (og:image) for that page. Maybe it can be updated in your settings somewhere?

P.S. I spot those kinds of things in my job. 🙂

raimalarter.bsky.social•102 days ago

Thanks for adding me! And...I don't know what Open Graph means, but I now see that the book image is down at the bottom of that page. I set that page up so long ago I forgot I did that. I think it's okay. At least it's an image of a short story collection and not one of my novels!

reasie.bsky.social•107 days ago

Add me?

alexharford.bsky.social•107 days ago

You were one of the first on the list. 🙂

reasie.bsky.social•107 days ago

awwww I clearly scanned the list too fast. :D
I did follow all. :)

gracefulease.bsky.social•113 days ago

You already have most the ones I'd recommend, but here's two more: https://aijiang.bsky.social and https://angeliqueauthor.bsky.social

alexharford.bsky.social•113 days ago

Thanks. You forgot someone important. You!
(you're now in)

zoharjacobs.bsky.social•102 days ago

Me, please!

alexharford.bsky.social•102 days ago

Added. 🙂

charlidreverwriter.bsky.social•102 days ago

Thanks for your work. I'm not exactly prolific, but I have a free one on my profile. Might earn my inclusion.

alexharford.bsky.social•101 days ago

100%. You write spec fic short stories, so you're in! 🙂

raynehall.bsky.social•96 days ago

Thank you for adding me. How about adding @camerontrost.bsky.social and @thatmorganpryce.bsky.social ?

alexharford.bsky.social•96 days ago

Thanks, I'll add them both now. 🙂

thatmorganpryce.bsky.social•86 days ago

Thank you for the shout-out 🙏

raynehall.bsky.social•99 days ago

Hi Alex, if you still have room on the list, could you add me please? I write specfic stories (mostly fantasy/gothic/horror). My stories are approved by Sulu the book-reading black cat. 😀

alexharford.bsky.social•98 days ago

Hi Rayne - I thought I'd added you already, but you're definitely in now (I think it might miss people out when I add in bulk). I've enjoyed reading some of your shorts and craft books and even helped proof read one a few years ago! 🙂

raynehall.bsky.social•98 days ago

Hi Alex, Your name sounded familiar. :-) Were you a beta-reader for one of my books? Do you remember which one? Are you subscribed to my newsletter?

alexharford.bsky.social•96 days ago

Yes! I was a beta reader for your Fiction Pacing book.

You made me wonder why I'm not subscribed to your newsletter. I checked and the last newsletter I received said you'd changed servers, and I don't have a mail from you after that. I'll resubscribe.

raynehall.bsky.social•96 days ago

I changed mailing services several times, but each time I imported the subscriber list. Strange that you someone fell through the cracks in the process.
Will you enter my short-story writing contest? (For stories by real writers, without AI.)

alexharford.bsky.social•92 days ago

It looks cool (no pun intended), I'll try to enter! I only started writing prose again about 3 months ago after a long fallow spell since the start of the pandemic.

I'm back on your mailing list now at least - I signed up via your Substack.

loujberger.bsky.social•59 days ago

Hit me!!

alexharford.bsky.social•59 days ago

Done! I hope it didn't hurt.

alexharford.bsky.social•112 days ago

P.S. If I follow you already, I should already have added you. If not, I blame the tech! 💻

Are you writing short stories as a "Fledgling speculative fiction writer"?

If so, I'll pop you on the Pack!

Yes, but I'm no where near publishing. Thank you though!

alexharford.bsky.social•102 days ago

That's fine! Let me know if you change your mind.

I've only recently sold a short story for the first time, and at least a couple on the list are working towards that first publication.
