Direct link to my story, “The Grasp of Midnight’s Thorn” on a different Lemmy instance:

This genre is actually my favorite and makes up most of my own writing.

I checked the rules and didn’t see anything against posting our own work, but if it’s not allowed, I’m happy to take it down.

    Great work! Next time you can also directly post it here, remember to add " by Universal Monk " in the title too. If you post on other platforms don’t forget to add the links. 👍

      Thank you! I’ll just post future stories directly here then. Thanks for your warm comments and warm welcome!

    This seems like a niche enough genre to not have to worry about self promotion taking over. Do you post on royal road or somewhere similar?

    Hey, this was a great story, thanks for sharing.

    a little surreal to see such a niche social media like Lemmy right in the text of the story too, that’s fun.

    The prose is especially compelling, very visceral descriptors.

    did you get banned from this community?

    did they tell you why? you can direct message me.

      Thanks for your kind words!

      I don’t think I’ve been banned from this community, since I am seeing and replying to your message right now. Unless maybe shadowbanned? But I see no indication of that.

      And I’m also not sure if I should just bring my Tales from the Cryptic Lemmy community over here. I didn’t want people to think I was spamming if I posted to both communities since they would both have same name.
