Oh Terry, these are all brilliant! Well done everyone - what a fabulous challenge!

Thanks for the nod, Terry! This was such fun. I shared the idea with my daughter - she's a great writer and interested in giving it a go. 😃

Ta for the inclusion. Much appreciated. And some more substack avenues to explore. It's such a large map that some longitude and latitude is good. Start of the journey for me so the TF SatNav is a useful thing!

Thank you, Terry, for including me. This was great fun. I am thinking of doing a post of six-word reviews of Substack fiction writers. Might help to promote excellent writers who have not been "discovered".

Yes, in a sense. You go to the relevant page and click on Save in the app or on the url, or to save time do that with this post. Steam punk and mendicants: sounds interesting!
