Last note: I've been remiss in thanking @indirect who, out of the goodness of his heart, jumped in to help when the site went down this spring and migrated it to a better host (hooray for @heroku). Thanks André!

Part of me hopes to bring Curious Fictions back in some form in the future, possibly as a nonprofit focused on short fiction and underrepresented authors. If you'd like to get notified if that happens, you can sign up here: forms.gle/Lcu3ADTq6Kju82Nm8
