It was good to read this today, Allison! We have been discussing the impact of Notes on Longform etc., but it is great to come back to center and remember why we're doing this. Great timing, and thanks for suggesting my serial! :-)

I’m DYING that I didn’t realize that was happening bc I was furiously writing, stopped for Botox, and went back to writing.

I’m SO GLAD I kept that first part in there though bc Nur does NOT count as one of those posts. It’s important to differentiate lol

It did feel like you were writing in response to Nur's Note LOL! But even so, it is actually really good stuff.

When I read "focus on quality", I almost skipped back my feed. But I like how you framed it instead. Quality in everything.

By the way, I think we need also to recognize quality is impossible to define and a moving target. So, be ready to upgrade your taste.

That’s a very valid point on upgrading our taste and fits PERFECTLY into a series I’m developing! Thank you for that!
