You told me you were in the process of writing this article, Mike, so it was good to read it. I found your pros and cons very interesting and helpful, and I am sure others will find it so as well. I don't know if you checked out The Creative Exiles yet. It is geared towards short fiction and poetry, and there is commenting and feedback, but it isn't monetized. Thank you for the mention, and I wish you well finding another suitable writing platform.
