[close] Greetings. The Short Fiction group has been defunct for a while now. If you would like to help me revive it, and have time to administer and moderate, feel free to send me a message (my profile: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/8529914.Gaines_Post). In the meantime, I run an active discussion forum here -- https://discord.gg/vXKD32pdSA -- and would be more than happy to create a Short Fiction thread/channel in it. We were (and will be again, in case someone wants to take over moderating and administration duties) a cross-genre group of readers who enjoy short fiction. This generally refers to short stories, novellas, flash fiction, and various other brief forms of prose. Discussions were loosely organized by genre, with a tip of the hat to the fact that many stories aren't so easily categorized. I wish I could tell you to come join us here, but as I said, the group is inactive. Click the link above if you would like to discuss your favourite short fiction, and get to know like-minded (as well as not-so-like-minded) readers! All are welcome :-)

[close] This group is basically for authors who find it difficult to market or promote their books on GoodReads and Amazon. If you are in the aforementioned category please join us.

[close] This is meant to be a safe place for all people who love reading. This is a form of escapism where we can talk about our dreams and not be judged for them. If you love everything vintage, grunge, or dark academia I recommend this for you. I'm really excited!
