but if you read it and can't tell the difference, does it really matter?

i'm of the opinion it's still too easy to discern AI writing nor will I ever use it, it's just a question I ask myself.

Ah shit does everyone on here hate Substack still? Miscalculation on my part.

I understand the reticence but if you're anti-Substack you might as well just get off the Internet entirely.

It seems to me that many of the same Substackers who decry the current state of traditional publishing are the very same who seem desperate to be included in it and have a notable aversion to both posting and reading fiction on Substack.

blank slate short story

Should I just post my Substack fiction here and see what happens?

I'm not published anywhere else, I have no credentials. But I've amassed almost a thousand subscribers.

I'm realizing that my most ardent subscriber base on Substack is mostly middle-aged women, which is awesome because I am realizing here on Bluesky that this is the demographic of most literary agents.

If only I knew how to parlay this appropriately.

i often compare books to vinyl albums. like vinyl, books need not only be physical, and you can get a book subscription like a music subscription.

but the books and authors you really like, you get the physical. like vinyl albums
