~~And finally we are back up and running on Mastodon, for those of you who prefer to get your nanofic that way:~~

~~@index@eldraeverse.com~~

Edited: Actually, we are not. I'll be posting links over on my personal account, as mentioned below, because the new feature I hoped to be using for it dumps entire articles into the Fediverse, which has unfortunate implications for me and is likely to annoy the hell out of Mastodon users who don't like vast articles in one go rather than small title/excerpt/link combos.

If you've subscribed to @index@eldraeverse.com, might as well leave it for now. We'll be back on that address once I have a suitable solution.

(Personally, I'm at @cerebrate@qoto.org, ever since schelling.pt disappeared from under me, but there'll probably not be all that much posted there.)
