The selfish part of me wanted to come back and mention that I *too* write fiction, I didn’t realize that this post would attract more strangers than people who are already familiar with me

But I don’t want to put any effort into promoting myself, so here’s just a pitiful comment lol

That's what I do too and I think most people who are interested in something else than seeing their own names will look you up.

Thanks. I committed to reading one Substack fiction a day and a comment and then looked at my subs and realized i didn’t actually sub to much fiction. And then i couldn’t find any except the ones I already knew. This will keep me busy.

Wow, thank you so much for doing this! What a great initiative. I have so many new series and stories to add to my list now and I cannot wait to jump in. Thank you, also, for featuring my weird little sci-fi and speculative stories! 🪐 I feel honoured 😊

No, Hylia! My to-read list is already threatening avalanche! How could you do this to me?

Out of a petty sense of revenge, I’m sending recommendations back your way:

The Speaking-of Series by Wendy Cockcroft: funny fantasy flash fiction. (The misadventures of a knight and his possessed right gauntlet).

The Remnants Series by Tracee Beebe: quick-punch post-apocalypse with actual real-world survival techniques (because if you’re going to flee subhuman raiders, you might as well do it correctly).

Your move, Hylia... Your move...

This is awesome and inspiring me not to be a lazy butt and do something like this too. Work has been crazy so I’ve had to put writing stuff on the backburner but I hope to return with a vengeance soon and explore these links. Thank you, Hylia 🖤

Woohoo! Thanks so much Hylia. I feel honoured to be mentioned in this post. Especially when, as Asteria says, it's a lot of work just to lift others up. I appreciate you!
