Sciencefictional Stories
Now that the ScienceFictional is gone, I would like to publish the stories that I wrote for it.
I wrote a Viet Nam war flash story that I like. I reworked this one quite a bit quite a bit, cleaning it up and changing some some plot points, adding 400 words. It is still only 1500 words, but it needs a home. I think that a war piece is a hard sell. It is weird.
I have three awful horror stories, a satire and a very nice flash about an old woman in a nursing home and how she avoids being murdered (genre is suspense).
I have a bunch of these square peg stories and no round holes for them. Any ideas?
Couldn’t you use your blog as a place to publish the stories, and also accept other stores and content?
It might not generate money but if you have the correct links and key words I would think a lot of people (including your sister in law) would read the stories on a regular basis.
Kind of a variation of My Space with a specific audience and product limited to sci-fi stories.
I would invite other authors, except for the slush. I could not read the slush stories. Some of the stories I saw coming into Astounding Tales were dreadful. I don’t want to encourage people to send me crap. You have to pay for the good stuff. If you don’t pay you get god-awful stories.
I don’t want to put my own stories up here. I want to know that I can sell my stuff.
