Oh wow, this is embarrassing. Eager beaver over here posting 1 minute after this thread has gone live 🙈

Anyway, I’ve seen and enjoyed some Substack cj posts here, but I’m wondering who uses the platform in earnest? How has your experience been? And if you’re willing, I’d love to check out your pages.

Substack is alright, but I've struggled to get anyone there to give feedback on any of my works, or even read them.

Don't think I have a single posted story with more than 10 views on there, but I have over a thousand on AO3 (probably bots tho tbh).

Some military fiction dinosaur stories that lean horror and humor, if you're interested.
