Groups

[close] We are a bunch of nerdy bookworms and bookdragons who love reading books and discussing them. We have a number of year-round reading challenges that make our to-read lists all the more interesting and easy to get through. So, what are you waiting for? If you want to make new friends, participate in our reading-challenges and get amazing book recommendations, hop along. We are a friendly bunch of bibliophiles.

[close] The High King of Ionia has fallen. No details of his death were given, but everyone in Ionia knows that the White Fang Guild had everything to do with it. The throne has been claimed by none other than the White Fang leader himself. The cities are in uproar. Legions are forming to defend the guild and rebellions are forming to take them down. Will you choose to follow the leadership, join a legion, join a rebellion, or even start one for yourself? What path will you take?

[close] “We read to know that we are not alone.” ― C.S. Lewis ----------------------- WHAT DO WE DO HERE? This group encourages people to interact with fellow readers who have read or are currently reading a book and give their honest feedback regarding it. We recommend that members look for a buddy to read their book with. It's not limited to one or two members per book, you could get as many members as you want to read the same book. Happy Reading!

[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!
