This small corner of the webiverse has been putting out a blog post a day for over a year now. In the time of the existence of the site, almost 500 short stories have been told (this one will be number 486, to be exact). For the present, new stories will still be posted daily.
However, I need your help.
One of the not-so-secret reasons for producing this content has been to provide enough material for a book some day. And, with this number of stories out there on the interwebs, it’s time to start the Great Culling.
I’m asking you, the reader, to help me select some of the stories that have piqued your interest and ones that you think a wider audience might enjoy. While I’m not asking you to scroll through all of the posts, I am asking that you let me know which ones resonated with you for one reason or another. You don’t have to tell me the reason; I’m only interested in learning which ones you enjoyed the most.
My brother (a captive audience if there ever was one) says that, even when he knows that story, he often enjoys how this blog tells it and how we get to the ending that he knows is coming. That’s fine, too. If you already knew a tale’s ending but you like that particular story, please let me know about that, too.
I’ll be working on gathering and winnowing out the better 200 or so stories for a book.
Your help in deciding what goes in that book would be greatly appreciated.
You can reach me at charlesamillson@gmail.com or need4news@aol.com (if you’re over 60). (The email will open in a new tab, btw.)
