Hey all—I was invited to join Curious Fictions, which is a site where authors post their (previously published) short stories. The stories are free to read, but you are also free to subscribe to an author (say, me!) for a few bucks a month. Sort of like Patreon, but without the constant updating, and limited to published stories.
I like this because I have a bunch of stories published over the years that are now essentially out of print or unavailable, so having a place to post them where anyone interested can read them is great. And if a few folks (for example, you!) decide to throw me a few bucks in exchange, that’d be fine.
I’ve got a couple of stories up right now (Glad & Big, The Script, and Charlie O’Brien Lights a Dramatic Cigarette). If there’s a little interest from folks, I’ll be adding more stories in the coming months. In the mean time, let me know what you think!
Boy, I suck. These reading times are way too fast. It kinda takes away from the story if you ask me. Is there maybe an East Coast West Coast time you can use? Can I get my money back?
I never understand the whole “reading time” thing. What happens if you have 10 minutes on the train and start reading, but you’re not done? Do you trash the story in frustration and never finish it? But these things are out of my hands.
A new teaching tool: Self-destructing stories.
Thanks, Jeff. looking forward to more of your stuff.
