The Scratchers' Short Story Anthology

The idea is to collect a bunch of short stories from aspiring writers of Scratch and add them to a big collection, like the three music compilations have done for Scratch Musicians' work.

So, if you are interested in helping say so here and hopefully something will come of this effort!

Like I said, prefaces/introduction if we have them, and a short story if I get an idea for one!

I can write a few prefaces.
What exactly would be in them though?

Re: The Scratchers' Short Story Anthology

I could write something, but most of the time when I try to write a short story it ends up being a novel.  tongue  Well, just sign me up.


If you want something to do while Scratch is down, check out tbgs.tk! It's the new version of the (closed) Scratch TBGS, run by Scratchers! I'm going to spend most of my time there, anyway.

Have you actually written a novel before?

Not really, but usually when I write stuff I try to keep it fairly short, then I get more and more ideas until I put too much stuff into the story and I get too bored to finish it.

Re: The Scratchers' Short Story Anthology

Guys, don't post stories yet!

I'll set up a way to send them to me or something later.

NeilWest's could probably serve as a decent minimum.
So, minimum is 700.

I'll put the maximum at 10,000 not because I expect them to be that long but too accommodate any potentially longer stories.
