I have become a Founding member/supporter because I love your writing and feel that you probably will need to continue to eat to do it. I really like the short stories. Quick reads, very entertaining. Plus…. When you get enough, you can gather them together in a book and sell it as a collection, thereby making extra profit and I may not be paying enough attention and buy it, getting double-dipped.
(Remember what those things were, the process where only three parties were involved, and the amount on the check was what the person being paid actually received, to the penny? How quaint!)
Frank, We steal all your ideas here at The Discount Think Tank and Bait Camp on Galveston Island. Keep 'em coming! Here's how the Brittney piece turned out after she was released back into the wild. Enjoy this guilt-free 90-SEC vacation. THE OTIS ADVISORY: https://vimeo.com/649169102
I would be in, been reading for quite the long time...if I think about it I feel old. The original site was a must read, as was each book that came along. I say if we get the free writing/thinking Frank covering all things on your mind then well worth it. To me politics and culture are where you really shine, wit wise. Best part is the books hit all that too (unless I'm imagining that...).
If the system (substack) allows, perhaps keep a free level or access for spreading more "Frank"...in case it works like a paywall. Could always design "perks" for subscribers if you wish, early releases, pre-release chapters, etc. Lots of ways to build that world.
I'm also not saying this because we share a first name,
....wait a minute. Was your prior post, "The Merchant", a prelude to this whole conversation about a paid substack? "If you want more stories in stock, paying me would make that happen". Well, it must have worked, cause I'm strangely sympathetic to the idea. Your short stories are always fun, and I'd love more of those. Your political humor: a must. I don't particularly like subscriptions though, which might be a problem with this whole plan. Subscription paywalls also make it hard to share and spread your content to our friends, which would suck 'cause your content is worthy of sharing. You should also look at enabling Brave Rewards tips on whatever platforms you write on that are supported, like twitter(https://creators.brave.com/). That's a payment model I wish would catch on.
So, substance content: love your stream of consciousness riffs; and of course short stories ... not sure about politics but go for it. The Fupdate is a great idea... Superego is terrific! 🤠Hellbinder a little too silly maybe 😜 but I will eventually give it a try. Thanks for communicating so well with your friends!

Seems like a winner for you all the way around 😉
How about an address where a check can be sent?

So you're now writing full-time and software engineering part-time? Good
I've actually been worrying about the lengthy time-between-novels, so I'm OK with a paid substack, at least covering TBN periods*
Your Babylon Bee articles are the best. I think you made the right choice writing full-time
*Note: Tell your substack that if they want to read a Superego 4, they're going to have to support you with a substack subscription to carry you TBN
Or if we ever want to see a Hellbender 3, it's going to take a substack subscription from July 2022 to July 2023
Just trying to help
