My single-chapter stories 'Sometimes, Spheres Don't Come Back' and 'Criminal One' both have exactly 125 reads and 21 votes. Coincidence? Synchronicity?

Shared Passion for Sci-Fi? 
          
          Hello David,
          
          I came across your profile and noticed our mutual admiration for the sci-fi genre. I’m working on “Homeward Nebula” – envision superhumans, once lost in space, returning to an Earth that sees them as aliens.
          
          Would you be open to giving the first chapter a quick read and sharing your initial thoughts? If it resonates, perhaps there’s a chance for collaboration in the future?
          
          Thanks for considering, and best wishes with your writing journey!
          
          Warmly,
          Ethan

            Warm regards,
            Ethan

@hartmann_ethan Hi Ethan. Thanks for asking. I have given your first chapter a read. I'd say it's far too short to form any real opinion. All the best, David.

In the week that Wisdom of the Ancients hit 90k reads, I've finally published the last chapter of Harvest Time. You can find it here:

          But, that's not all, Harvest Time is one of 20 stories appearing in Beyond Between, which is now in paperback and officially published 21 June 2023. You can pre-order it here:

          The Kindle e-book version will be available as soon as I get around to formatting it!

Well, this little gem (reproduced below in quotes) just appeared in my Wattpad inbox. Yes, those things in the [square brackets] were exactly how they appear here! Interesting that it gets to the point where the scammers can't even be bothered (or are too stupid?) to fill in the placeholders properly! :D
          
          Has anyone else received these?
          
          I'm now off to block and report the account...

@TheStoryScholar Yeah, though I haven't had one of those in a while now. Maybe Wattpad have some better filters in place now.

Haven’t received one of these yet. Usually get hookup messages.

@Fuzzicat333 Having gone to the account, there are some actual stories there. I didn't read them and wondered if they were AI-generated or stolen from somewhere else.
