This has been terribly freaking upsetting and frustrating. I intend to host your stuff for WW and S&S no matter what. Some have paywalled content that they submit and I host, so I'll mention when posting your stuff in it to cough up some cash for you.
Honestly, I've had to start going through my stuff and consider paywalling some essays. The reason being that I'm fairly certain that Substack is changing.
I won't lie Samara and I had plans for him to host one of my serials in Jan. Dan & I are hard at work, writing several chapters right now (and have been for a week or two), and had plans to have the whole thing all but ready for that time. But with this, we're left unsure of what to do with the serial now.
Hey Josh, sorry if you couldn't reach me but I'm still here, things got crazy for sure. I've manually pulled my stuff from the Montag background and will probably republish it all on my own stack until Samara gets his new site up and running. I hope you don't do any editing after uploading, which is the main reason I had to go collect it all again. The versions on my computer and drive were older and less refined. Still don't know why the nuking occurred since apparently it wasn't just Samara
Thankfully, the only alteration from my laptop file and what went up on Montag was the insertion of the cover images, so no big deal there. As for the fate of "5ive and Dime", I'd not yet gotten through all of Chapter 1 in the Part posts.
As such, I'll end up re-presenting what came before on Montag in a new Section on my own Stack, but the remainder of the novel will not be coming to Substack. I intended for the novel to be published under the Montag imprint, and that's what's going to happen; as soon as Montag Publishing is established as its own publishing house (which Samara is in the process of spinning up, these things take time), "5ive and Dime" will be among its initial 'launch' titles.
That's good, then. Im the same way with the Sal Cartwright stories. We'll see what Samara comes up with. If you really want the images you can save them too and then change the file type to jpg for future use.
Huh... I wasn't aware they had a trust and safety team. After that Substack Reads post about Elon, which was built on a ridiculous premise, I was really wondering if I was seeing red flag. Now I know. Thanks for writing about this.

Geez- I hope you don't cancel MY paid subscription.
You never have to worry about that, brother. You've been one of my truest supporters since the start.
