Oracle's Label
For those of you on Bluesky, you know about the labellers – they're like the unsung heroes of moderation. But sometimes, they create something truly unique. Take The Cave of Trophonius, for example. This quirky labeller has tagged every active account with a humorous (or sometimes ominous!) prediction of how they'll kick the bucket. I instantly thought, 'What a great idea for a story!'
So, I'm now using these labels as prompts to write new tales for any mutual who asks for one. You can scroll down and find link to the post and drop me a Hi if you'd like one.
