3 April 2024
A lot of today has been operational for foofaraw. Nailing down new banners in prep for Monday along with a blog post to go with it. Super excited to finally get these out into the world.
Also sent out some rejections/acceptances from the submission queue. Tons of cool fiction pieces have been coming through. Even if last weeks wasn't to your taste, there are tons more of a pretty solid variety I'll be curating in the coming weeks. Not sure I can afford to commission an illustration for each at this point in time, but the first few have them.
Given all the stuff we've been getting in (I've received about 150 and paid for 16 so far), I want to find a way to publish some fiction every week along with our existing features. I need a little more moolah to come in though to do that so I think I'm going to try to "fundraise" a bit... My hope is to add just five more paid subscribers to achieve that.
If you have any other ideas for what might be useful to add subscribers (paid or otherwise) or what might be a useful "paid feature" besides the Review of Links, let me know!
Friday's weekend edition is already queued up and ready to go with a new Consumption Gumption featuring the writer of Last Week's New Yorker Review, which I'm super pumped about and a new issue of The Outer from Garrett.
