I had a wee heart attack when I went into the tracker when it kept saying bad gateway (or maybe something else, I don't know computers) and then I remembered whenever that happens there tends to be a change that was made, so I waited patiently and voila, c'est vrai.

ahhh yeah that can happen. We're in development always so sometimes things get janky but working hard every day to make that happen less and less

I don't really experience it too much, just every now and then if I'm on a records input kick. :)

I write memoir and personal essays. What is the best way to find journals publishing this genre. Is it all creative nonfiction? Or are there journals specializing in memoir/personal essays? Thank you!

Hi Kristina, You can filter by sub-genre on the Chill Subs browse and also by keyword if you're a premium member. We'll also be sending out weekly Where to Submit lists that include all upcoming opportunities across all genres. First one went out this morning!

I’m new here but the way that <all of it> things are organized and consistent literally strokes my neurodivergent brain is so… pleasant.

Cheers to another rotation and endless opportunities to name things.

Congrats!

When you turn two you can further shorten the name to just "Sub." When you turn three you can change your name to an unpronounceable symbol and everyone will know you as "The club formerly known as Sub," or TCFKAS, which really makes no sense but when you try to pronounce TCFKAS it sounds a little nasty, which some will find appealing.
