Hey all!
I've been thinking about this for a while and now it's time to ask a few others about the idea.
Something that's interested me is starting a website dedicated to amateur fictional short stories. Now, this is a totally free site and I'll use something like Google Adsense to cover the cost of the hosting. Basically people post their short stories, read others and share their thoughts.
It'll be split into 3 sections:
1 - fiction (general fiction - anything goes really)
2 - fan fiction
3 - community fiction
Community fiction is the interesting part. Several writers will set out different worlds with their own legacy, setting, races, etc. From here people write stories that take place within these worlds. Obviously each "world" has its own set of rules. It's sort of like RPing, but on a larger scale and with a world already in place.
I have someone lined up for the first "world" already.
I, the magnificent GrahamZA, used to be an avid short-story author. Over the years I've lost base so it's something I'm passionate about.
Let me know what you think. I have a domain in mine so will need to purchase it.
EDIT: I'll need a few dedicated (even if it's a story or 2 each) for the website.
EDIT 2: Something I'm looking for as well are artists - amateur or not. People that can take another person's worlds and shape them into images. Basically people to do pictures (if needed) for stories
