Ingrid's Race for Life
Cancer is happening right now, which is why I'm taking part in a Race for Life 10k to raise money and save lives.
1 in 2 people will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. Every single pound you...
Got a late start fundraising as I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to participate this year, but here I am...this is my first 10k! Much, much gratitude for any spare change you might have for Cancer Research... Running for my dear sis. fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/ingrids...

Oh, I am so glad! I'm trying really hard to schedule things for waking hours when writers have shared their location with me. It doesn't always work, but I try! :)

That's an idea, if we manually do it. With Twitter, I was able to hook it up to a service that would check the Blogger website every 5-10 minutes, then auto tweet the link when a new story was published. Ideally, I'd find similar for here...manually scheduling leaves room for accidental omissions!

The challenge: there is a new post on Blogger (yes, we're ancient!) every five to ten minutes for the 24 hours of FlashFlood. Ideally, I'd like to autopost the link at very regular intervals. (Even more ideally, I could tag the author if they're here too, but I don't want to be greedy!)

Hi, Bluesky family! I'd like to bring @natflashfictionday.bsky.social's FlashFlood to Bluesky this year. I'm the entire tech team but ironically I'm terrible at social media. Could any kind person give me advice on how to gracefully manage 24 hours of wild posting whilst also getting a bit of sleep?
