Two new story share sites, the first is for published authors who donate short stores to read, while the other is for anyone and everyone to participate. I really like the site design of Figment.
Free stories that make us laugh and feel good even in the depths of winter. We’ll be adding at least two or three stories a week all through December – don’t forget to come back to find our newest offerings!
- Figment – Write Yourself In
What is figment?
Figment is a community where you can share your writing, connect with other readers, and discover new stories and authors. Whatever you’re into, from sonnets to mysteries, from sci-fi stories to cell phone novels, you can find it all here.
Awesome list. Bonus points for the pink cassette tape. I was happy to see Leviathan and 13 Reasons Why on the list…but I’m pretty sure some of these books came out before 2010. So not really sure what’s up with that.
I am so in love with this. So cool. Also, I was totally into zines 8 years ago. This brings back memories I love to cherish.
- British Vogue “Astrology Inspires Fashion, Gorgeousness Ensues.”
(This has nothing to do with writing, but isn’t it gorgeous?)
And finally, the best Christmas present for any writer or book lover in your life (as you will see on Monday’s gift guide list)…
- Postertext – whole novels typed on a poster with white spaces of art from the novel. I love Frankenstein, Peter Pan, Dracula, Crime and Punishment and the Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
