✨ Shoutout to the FicStack Curation Team ✨

This week has been a tough one for me with MS-related brain fog, and the team truly stepped up. A huge thank you to Tina, curation team A leader, who pulled everything together despite being busy and overwhelmed herself. And to everyone on the curation team, you carried this week with dedication, creativity, and care.

FicStack wouldn’t shine the way it does without you. ❤️

It’s easy to follow when you’ve got a superb leader!

Agree with everything Gary just said, and I would add this: when the apocalypse comes, I want to be on Tina's team. 🖤

I am absolutely blown away to be mentioned here. 🥹 And next to some amazing writers, no less! "Honored" would be an understatement.

And there are a few names here I don't recognize! Can't wait to dive in to their work. Awesome freaking job, guys. This publication continues to wow. And thank you so much for the mention. BRB, gotta go cry it out. 🖤🖤

I am so thankful to have had my story get a shout out- I so so appreciate it. I never really feel like I belong in an community and so to have The Saltwater Bride pleasantly yoinked and placed among so many writers I admire (and a few I don't know and am excited to read) feels overwhelming and lovely.

Thank you so much!

Borderline Silence is such an important story. Thank you for continuing to share it with us! And that title 👌🏿 … Did you have it before writing or did it make itself known as you were writing?

I think I had a general idea and a list of titles and as I started writing the title revealed itself ✍🏾

Oh wow, thank you so much for including ‘The Switch’ here (and for writing a better teaser for it than I ever could have)! I love everything the FicStack team does for the fiction community here, and it’s such an honour to get included alongside some really excellent writers.

Thank you for reading, and thank you for everything you do, team! 😊

The Switch is such a great story, Emily. I was genuinely delighted when I found it. I hope more people get to enjoy it now too.

Well earned, I’d say!

A big shout-out to the team at FicStack for putting this together each week and to everyone on the list, I’m grateful to be included with such great company.

FicStack keeps making my reading list longer, and I’m not even mad about it.

Qibra's avatar

Thank you, Chris! I can't wait to read chapter three.
