[QUOTE="Cerulean_Wings, post: 4209286, member: 55060"] Get it? Cerulean... sky blue... no? Okay, I'll go back to hiding. I'll write two disclaimers as an introduction. A short one for those who don't need/want to know the details about my idea to write short stories, and a longer one for those who do. [B]Short explanation[/B] I used to want to write a novel for every single crazy idea that popped into my mind. No more! Now those crazy ideas will be manufactured into short stories. The theme, duration and setting of the stories will vary, and even I don't know which ones will have sequels (in the shape of short stories, that is). [B]Extended explanation[/B] I used to write a novel in this forum, Unforgiving Lands. Thing is, I got a massive writer's block, and the story was left unfinished. A shame, yes, but at the same time a blessing, for I don't have much free time nowadays (curse you, real life!). So then I wondered about what I wanted to do next: another novel, different setting and new story? I had a couple ideas in mind, but none of them seemed possible to accomplish, for they would require loads of time (which, again, I don't have). Therefore the prospect of making more novels was turned down. One magical day, an idea popped into my mind! If I couldn't write long stories... why not write short ones? I felt both giddy and silly, the latter because I couldn't believe I didn't think of it earlier on. And that's how I came with the idea of writing short stories :) /end disclaimer [B]For everyone to read[/B] I hope you enjoy these short stories as much as I enjoy typing them. The first one, Righteous Nova, is a sci-fi one, and not only is it my first short story I ever wrote, but it's the very first sci-fi story I ever wrote. I'll be posting it shortly once I've done the finishing touches to the first part of two. I could potentially add more parts, but we'll see ;) [B]Note:[/B] I don't like constructive criticism.
