I’ve been trying to decide what to publish. I have close to 300 stories in my files. Some of them are obviously not book material. Others… well… yeah. However, trying to decide which one to publish has been a bit daunting. So… after getting my life in general back on track after last Autumn, I’m thinking I really do need to publish. (quiet in the peanut gallery! I hear you!) The biggest issue is Which Story?
In conversation with Southern Sir, I decided that I’d ask you dear readers. Which story or stories would you like to see published first? Some of them do fit in “collections”. Others are stand alones. I’d like all of you to go through the archives and see what you’d prefer to have published. I can’t make up my mind.
Let me know by making comments. 🙂 Oh, and Flash Fiction Friday stories don’t count.
My vote would be to combine, condense, and clean up More Than Just a Fairytale. It’s a unique take on shifters that I think would go over well.
1 vote for MTJAFT.
My all time favorite of all your stories is MTJAFT as well. The story is great and the characters are wonderful. All of your stories are very good and it is hard to pick one over the other, but that one does stand out in my mind.
2 votes. Although I knew that would be your choice. 🙂
more than just a fairytale
Okay.
More then just a fairy tale – closely followed by vanilla verse
Not Buster’s Story or Twisted Tales?
Are you seeing a pattern here? 😉 I think your audience has spoken…
Yes, a very small audience for all the people who’ve read my blog. Oh, and Wolf said…”Why are you asking? You know they’ll say MTJAFT”. sigh.
I’ve discovered, in a short time, that the amount of engaged followers (those that will comment) are always a much smaller percentage of your actual followers…but they often voice what the majority is thinking…most people are just lurkers, unfortunately – either uninterested in commenting or afraid to comment…so when the vocal crowd speaks, listen to them…there’s a good chance, your lurkers agree completely. 🙂
I know. It is something I figured out writing on Literotica. 900 reads and 2 comments. sigh. At least I do ask. I don’t just blithely assume. Plus, I have hopes that some lurker out there may actually step up to the plate and make a comment. 🙂
Oh, and I’m on pg. 10 on editing. 14,900+ words to go.
Woohoo!!!!!!! I can’t WAIT to have my own copy! 🙂
It will take a little bit to get it all edited.
I know, I know…but a girl can impatiently anticipate, can’t she?? 😀
Of course you can. Waiting for a good story though is sort of like edging…
Very true…
🙂
Wordwytch, I am currently reading MTJAFT. So I can’t vote for it yet. 🙂
However, most of the votes are by people whose opinions I generally agree with when it comes to your writing, so I think I shall follow the majority.
(just wanted to get my opinion in). 🙂

Gee, once you finish that, you have Buster’s Story and Twisted Tails. 🙂
Glad you voiced an opinion though. 🙂
So technically that’s a vote for MTJAFT.
(honestly Sheeple would be my 1st choice, but as its not finished yet…….
🙂
LOL… I was torn between the two.
MTJAFT gets first vote but Busters story is so good/sad so it’s a close second.
Yay publishing 😀
🙂 Buster’s Story will probably follow. And my oh my have you been catching up on your reading!
Haha I’ve been reading them the whole time, I just don’t always remember to ‘like’ them 😛
But I wanted you to know that I do enjoy them 🙂
🙂
