** Ten years ago today, I posted my first MicroSFF story on Twitter. Four thousand stories later, I’m still writing them. Who’d a thunk it?

Many thanks to all of you, for reading, sharing, liking, and commenting.

Here’s that first story:

God finally stopped the planet to let people off, but hardly anyone left. We watched the sun speed away and felt very silly.

Alert: I met #ducklings the other day at my father-in-law’s farm and they were pure joy. Gave them a supervised bath and popped them back in their little crib afterwards. They’re so smol! They nibble your fingertips with their tiny beaks!

Still remember this time I was looking out the window at the place I worked and was watching someone use a traffic cone to try and scrape the ice off their windshield.

My coworker just mumbled “that’s not how you install VLC on windows” to himself as he walked by looking and nobody will ever tell a better joke than that.

There’s a really clear way to cooperate, which is to implement the open standards developed at the W3C.

Jack has known about AP and AS2 since Blue Sky was founded. He could have built on top of that standard, and instead decided to be incompatible.

It’s not our job to keep making yet another and another metastandard to try to invite BS in.

Incompatibility is their goal.
