Hi, everyone,
I'm wondering if anyone is active here. If so, I'd appreciate your stopping by and reading "Red Toy Soldier". I'd be happy to return the gesture.
I just joined this group, I am wondering the same thing. Given you asked your question 2 months ago, I'm guessing the group isn't really so active... have you since found any short story groups that are active?
Short stories are not very popular here for the most part, as you may have already noticed, but if you write well, are persistent, coment on other people's work and have patience, you can gain enough credibility that people will read what you've written, no matter the length.
I'll come back some time this weekend and read what you've written.
I meant comment not coment.
Hello all. I'd certainly be keen to get this group active again as I tend to write stories over 1000 words and, while I appreciate the reasons people prefer to read the shorter forms, I joined so I can learn from other writers how to improve my own.
Chris(topher?), I read Red Toy Soldier when I first joined about a week or so ago. It's no surprise to me you won a prize, I found it heartbreaking.
I'm glad to see people are out there! Also I made a response comment to some comments on my story, but I don't think this site notifys of that (to the previous commentors). But the point is... thanks for the read!
I am going to read the stories posted here later today - I didn't see that you can just post to the group until just now.

not novel excerpts--but longer stories
what is a long story? well, on fictionaut, there is a decided preference for shorter stories, so let's call 1,500 words or longer, "the longer FN story." that sound ok?
send stuff! read other people's stuff!
thanks,
gary
