Robert Kingett<p>Quite meta of me, but just for fun, I finished a instalove romance with a HEA between John Mastodon and the Fediverse Chick, but in my story she's called Jane Mastodon. Could anyone beta read? Spice is on page, and explicit, but the synopsis is below.</p><p>John Mastodon has just been fired from his job at Twitter. Tired of living in the city, he spots an online ad for a small town called ActivityPub and decides to take a chance on this new town and its inhabitance. Jane Mastodon has a simple job. She's a firefighter. She used to work for a corporate phone company but gave that up to be one of the many pillars of this community that calls themselves the Fediverse. Jane is lonely, and her newly dubbed nickname, the Fediverse chick, plays into so many misconceptions that guys get the wrong idea and pursue her without really seeing her. One day, she plows into John Mastodon at the store, wherein they have an instant connection. Even though their connection is fresh and vibrant, it isn't smooth sailing for both of them. Can they learn to love again after both have been knocked down by life? this story is 20,000 words with a happy ending, a cat named Goldfish, a diverse cast of side characters, brief on page smut, and no miscommunication but there is drama. I’d like beta readers. Is anyone interested?</p><p><a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/Romance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Romance</span></a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/RomanceLandia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RomanceLandia</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/romancelandia" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>romancelandia</span></a></span> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fediverse</span></a></p>
