[close] There is intelligent life outside of Earth, plenty of it actually. Humans that coexist peacefully with their planet unlike those that inhabit the third rock from the Sun. Some of these people walk among us, but they certainly do not come in peace. They are prisoners of this world, condemned with the ultimate punishment: trapped to live out their years alone, on this damaged and dying planet. But these other worlds are not perfect either. Their environments may not be corrupted, but this is not to say that the people in charge are saints. Will you be an exile, bending or shattering the rules to find a way back home, or will you be caught up in the growing tensions that are truly out of this world?

[close] Where every hour is happy hour.

[close] Welcome to Camp Half-Blood, demigod! Congratulations, you've made it this far and survived. But now that you know you're a demigod, life's only going to get harder.

[close] R. Linda’s reader group!

[close] Publishing is rich with hidden gems and diamonds-in-the-rough that belong to self-published, indie and otherwise underappreciated authors. ** Please be aware before joining we DO NOT ALLOW AUTHORS TO SELF-PROMOTE BOOKS. All posts of that nature will be deleted without warning or hesitation. ** Our focus is recommending little known authors we're fans of and building a community amongst members who invest in this group. We support our own - readers and authors alike. Fringe Fiction is devoted to those who admire self-published works and want an outlet to discuss under-the-radar books with readers eager to discover fresh talent by obscure authors. Indie aficionados who welcome such recommendations and are enthusiastic about giving them are encouraged to let members know what they might be overlooking in the lesser-known corners of publishing. The authors mentioned in Fringe Fiction won’t be household names and their books aren’t New York Times bestsellers but each of them have fans, a few of them followings and all could use extra word-of-mouth. If you ever read a great book you felt deserved more attention or wished an unknown author all the success in the world, then consider contributing here. Book discussions and recommendations are the purpose of this group; however, self-published/small press authors will have spaces and opportunities to make themselves known to other members. We’re all supportive fans – both existing and potential – so treat the avid readers of Fringe Fiction with the utmost respect and they’ll consider your work with similar courtesy. To those still reading and like-minded - welcome to the Fringe!
