I’m liking each post here after I read it so I can keep track. Nine wildly different takes consumed thus far. Exactly what I was hoping for - lots of different styles and voices.

A question: is posting my story on Substack considered publishing for real? If I wanted to take it to a literary magazine, would there be any legal problems or would it be okay?

Depends on the magazine. Some allow it, most don't. Check their submission guidelines.
