Hi Gary, you've mentioned elsewhere people volunteered to help with the project. I am a data scientist/ software dev by profession hence happy to help within this particular remit. Let me know.
What an amazing idea!!! I am so excited for this!!!! I can't wait to discover new writers and follow their work, as well as hopefully post there in future 🤞. Thank you so much for starting this initiative, Mucklow. You are the GOAT.
Thank you so much! Finding things on substack sometimes feels like doing archeology. Something like FicStack will be an immense help for both readers and authors.
If I can help in any other way, please let me know.
I have a question. I may not be using Substack right. I'm still learning. I serialized my novels on the Paid side, but they still show on the free side - all 40+ posts. Should I do them chapter by chapter, or upload the whole book in 1 post?
In the settings button at the bottom right of each post, it lets you set whether the post is free or paid, and then whether you let the unpaid folks see a teaser. You can go back (A pain, I know) and change these settings on at a time.
I only have 2 posts behind a pay wall so not terribly well versed with them. Feel free to drop into a DM with me and I can try to figure it out. It might be how they are posted and cod be edited
Thank you so much for doing this! I think this will be an invaluable resource. So excited for this way to find and be found by other fiction writers and readers!

Thank you.
Great idea. I just signed up. I appreciate your help and hard work. Best wishes, Gary.
Let's get the ball rolling! I'll submit my show, The Level Truth, to your website, if you'll have me!

If it’s fiction, submit your Substack details.
I'm so excited for this! I just submitted my info for the database. I can't wait to see what you put together, Gary. Thanks for taking this on!
Glad to have your Substack!
Great idea. I know that there's a lot of good fiction on Substack, but finding it has been hard work. FicStack looks like a good solution.
This sounds FicFantastic! So ready!!

This sounds great! Anything that can help authors become more visible on here and reach more readers is a wonderful thing. Good luck with it all... 😎👍

I appreciate the support. As a writer myself, and a reader, I can see the need for it.

This is an amazing idea!!
Thanks
This is such a wonderful idea! What a great way to make it easier to find writers on Substack. Such a community-minded move - thank you for this.
Gary, thank you for putting this together.
I want to contribute $ to FicStack. How do I do it?
I appreciate what you are doing. Such a wonderful way to read and grow a community. ❤️
Thanks Brenda
I'm trying but it seems my master card isn't talking to stripe. I'll keep trying.
Sorry you are having problems. I do appreciate you trying. Don't worry about it, the thought was very nice.
Finally got it through. Had to switch to my bank. Mastercard wasn't cooperating.
Thank you so much Ernie, very generous of you.
🙏

You have done so much already. Thank you.

I'll keep trying. I think it is the coversion from $ to € that is the problem. I'll try again later.
I changed it to USD - I cannot change to localised currency as I do not sell any products on there. Sigh.
Perhaps it's a setting on my account…
That would be very much appreciated. I have a Buy Me A Coffee account.
