Really excited for this! I am trying to accomplish something similar to a story/book club with kids. As a reading and writing teacher I am all for this kind of community engagement with teacher-students, writers-reader on this platform. :)

I call Substack "twitter for adults".

I share George’s appreciation for short stories. I think Substack’s created a place where the form can thrive again!

Thanks for bringing George S to Substack, Dan Stone. Story Club is a month in, and it's a wonderful experience.

これを日本語に翻訳されて読んでいるので、意味がわかり辛い。インターネットと量子コンピューターは、人類の知性発展に役立つ可能性をもっているが、同時に知性を破壊する虚構の世界にもなり始めている。そのような新世界環境で、このクラブがどのような目的を持つのか、もうしばらく検討する時間がほしい。

Very interesting. I have written some fiction so this could be really fun and I'm subscribed. Currently though I'm writing about fiction. In both cases, this is probably something worthy of my time in both cases.
