I would love to be added to the list as @shanezia for my indie sci fi short story magazine Keystone Codex which launched recently and is seeking contributors for upcoming issues.
Hi, Robert! I've added you to the tag list now. Please send Mike to this page to submit an opt-in request himself. To avoid dramas and squabbles, I only honor direct requests. Thanks!
Hey! Love you putting together this list and initiative and I'd love to be included if possible. I write sci fi short stories set in a fictional city I made! Here is the page for your review, if it seems like my work fits I'd love to be included, thanks so much!
I will think on that, Arthur. I've learned not to discount offers of help. Meanwhile, though, I'm pleased you subscribed, and I hope you enjoy what you read!
Your efforts are hugely appreciated by us Sci-Fi fiction writers still working on the fringes of Sunstack... I know how much work this is and I am grateful you somehow find the energy to do it every week.
I tagged a couple people months and months ago one time since I had a sci-fi-adjacent essay and have slowly gotten swept up in the notification vortex. Haven't participated since, but now that this is more centralized I'm getting slammed with notifications (I don't mean to complain, I love seeing the spec-fic community organize). Great effort here overall and I hope Sci-Fridays continue to be a slamming success.
Sure, I’ll add you! I can’t do more editing and rerelease the tag list today — no time left, and I don’t want to confuse folks — but you’ll be on the list next Friday.
If I may make a suggestion, it's easier to tag people by substack names rather than real names, because substack names are unique and do not need disambiguation.
For example, instead of @Alex S. Garcia, tag @xenin.
I'll try to make a substack-name based list as I go through the disambiguation and post it.
I tried that already. In fact, it was the first thing I tried when I had trouble disambiguating folks in the list I got from Andy. Substack recognized some unique handles, didn’t recognize others. I saw it was going to be a lot of trouble and I wouldn’t be able to include everyone using the same method, which I dislike — it’s confusing.
Another difficulty for what I’m doing is what happens when you tag: enter a unique handle, it links, Substack changes it to the person’s name. So if I used unique handles in the text file, I’d have a lot of handles I couldn’t easily check against a list of names with links to see who’s there and who’s not. Forget about alphabetizing to make it easy to find someone!
Brian, it’s an elegant solution and I wish it worked without a hitch, but there are hitches and for such a long list I only see it increasing my workload and frustration. Thanks for the thought.

You’re on the tag list now.
Didn’t know anyone was doing this. Although, I have seen the walls of tags before.
I’ve been releasing entries in my series on Sci-Fridays, might as well throw my hat in the list. @wylder396
You're on the list now, Bill! Welcome to the weekly walls of tags!
We would be honored to join this list with our publication STELLAR EMPIRE:

You're on the list now, R.R. Sorry this took me a while.
Appreciate you, Joshua. Let me know how I can help you if you ever need it. No response required.
I will think on that, Arthur. I've learned not to discount offers of help. Meanwhile, though, I'm pleased you subscribed, and I hope you enjoy what you read!

Thank you! It's not too much trouble, now that I have a system down.
Please add me, thanks!
You're on the tag list now, Morgan! Welcome to the madness!
Would you mind removing me from the tag list?

Thanks!
Sure, Eric, I've taken you off now. Sorry to see you go, but I understand about not wanting to be slammed with notifications. Best wishes!
Can i be added to the list?
Sure, I’ll add you! I can’t do more editing and rerelease the tag list today — no time left, and I don’t want to confuse folks — but you’ll be on the list next Friday.
Sure next week it is.
You're on the list now, Karla.
Thx
Hey! I want to opt out of the list. I would appreciate it if you could do this as soon as possible. Thank you in advance.
OK, Isha, you're off the list. Sorry if you get any more unwanted posts ... that may happen for a while.
Thanks for the prompt response.

Thanks for including me, and for all your efforts here! This will be so much easier.
