I discovered this Substack relatively recently (I'm familiar with your writing from that sublime Rise and Fall of Final Fantasy you wrote, I think I saw it first on Hardcore Gaming and then continued to read it on SMPS). I'm hoping to have more time to read your work over the holiday season this year. I'd be happy with either of the two options you present, and if you ever feel the need to go to a paid subscription, I would definitely be on board.
Hey, thanks for reading. Definitely not going to be doing paid subscriptions any time soon. Wouldn't make much sense unless I had a large enough readership to turn this thing into a job, and I'm not banking on that ever happening.
Fwiw, I had a really great experience reading Zeroes: The Reunion last year, one of the best times I’ve ever had with a novel and one of the things that made me decide I needed to commit myself to writing. Personally, I would like to read longer posts more than sporadic updates but I understand how it is fitting things into a cramped schedule so do what you think is best of course.
"How You Sleep at Night" is still on the Puritan, which is now calling itself the "Ex-Puritan." And thanks to the site redesign, my embarrassing author photo which used to be thumbnail-size at the very bottom of the page is now as big as damn billboard and at the very top.

It's worth a lot, actually. I'm not sure I'll ever be able to top that one, but I'm gonna try.
I suggest doing sporadic updates. It does make things easier to read on commutes. Longer pieces are good, but I need to allocate time for them.
NOTED!
Where's that piece you wrote about the eldritch horror that replaces the POV's wife live these days?
