Welcome to short-fiction.co.uk, a literary showcase for short stories in all genres
- Welcome to my short story website, a place for both
fans and writers of short stories and fiction. We have made this a place
where you can come and read new short stories in
many literature
genres, including the best in fantasy, scifi, horror, and for the adults, erotic stories. We currently are showcasing 3557 stories! NEW Oct 2009: Poetry! Yes
after many e-mails asking if poems could be submitted, I have added poetry as a new 'genre' - so if you have poems scribbled down which you wish to share, why not post them here too?
Mind The Gap by heidi
Story is 16,746 characters long.
Why not read a 'lucky dip' story? WRITERS - If you are a budding writer or established author who is looking to reach an appreciative audience, please register (Why register?) and submit your stories (and now poems) for publication. Being a totally 'not for profit' website, we cannot unfortunately, pay you, but rather showcase your stories to a large number of people with little effort on your behalf. Click here for more info on the site and story submission guidelines. NEW: I have created a page with screenshots to show some of the authors tools for registered users, CLICK HERE to see.
Latest Web project : Well I've created yet another website, this time it's a fansite for darts - a sport which is really growing in popularity (after it's heydays in the 80's and subsequent drop). Darts, Beers, and Cheers! is a fansite dedicated to the players, tournaments, and sport of darts within the PDC organisation - Think Phil 'The Power' Taylor and you're on the right lines! The site has only been online a few days at the time of writing, but I've already got an interview with a top PDC professional (Wayne Mardle), with another lined up! Fingers crossed that the site can become one of the top resources for the sport of darts. CLICK HERE to visit if you're interested in darts.

Something for budding writers
- Feel confident when submitting.
- All story submissions remain the copyright of the authors - we are not here to make money from your submissions! This site is a resource for you to showcase your writing without having to have the technical know-how yourself. Unfortunately I cannot pay money for your stories, as I receive no funding or payment. Once a story is in our database, you are able to edit it online at any time, just by logging in and using your special members homepage. We will only display your username against stories, no e-mail address will be revealed (to cut down on any chance of spam). There is now a new 'author profile' page you may complete, but what you choose to reveal is completely up to you!
- How do you receive feedback?
- We have put a feedback system into the site, where readers may send you (hopefully) constructive criticism, or (even more hopefully), generous praise. This system hides your e-mail address to keep the feedback 'secure'. We have removed any 'scoring' system, as it was felt by myself and some of the authors that it was open to abuse, and shouldn't put off someone reading a low scored story.
- Submit and read the stories for free.
- This site isn't here to make big money (or in fact, ANY money!), it's mostly a labour of love (of fiction itself, and me using my technical skills to help others). So we won't charge you a membership fee, or anything to read as many stories as you wish.
Who runs this story website?
- All run by by Krispy in his spare time
- This site was conceived, designed, coded, and glued together by Kristian 'Krispy' Brown; www.kristianbrown.co.uk, in my spare time. My normal job is a senior systems developer (Oracle and Java J2EE), but I have been creating websites for the last 15 years. The current bunch are created using a mixture of Custom PHP code running against a MySql database, all on my own hosted webserver. I do this for fun, and sharing a love of books, reading, imagination, and helping people with my technical know how.
Story submission policy
-
We accept short story submissions in many categories. If you feel your story should be in a fiction category we do not have, please suggest one, and if I agree, I will create that category in our in our custom written content management software.
We do accept stories of an adult nature (including erotic stories), but reserve the right to edit or reject submissions that we feel breaks the boundaries of taste we will accept. This is completely my discretion, but note we will refuse stories that are of an illegal or over violent sexual nature (illegal adult themes such as drug taking ARE acceptable though). We do ask that no-one under 16 enter or read stories in the 'adult' or 'erotic stories' categories of the site. Important note: We cannot be held responsible if underage or easily shockable readers read or are upset by any of the stories within this site. By clicking on any of the story links within this website, you agree not to hold the owners responsible for any upset, shock, or negative effects.
