Welcome to the new Science Fiction Writers forum
This is a place where you may post your stories-in-progress, or finished stories.
Some things to keep in mind.
1. Be creative! You'll get more readers if you have a title/byline that is interesting. For example: 'My story I'm writing' VS. 'It Ain't Easy Being Blue: A Bolian Story'
Which one would you rather read
2. Be mindful of your content. To quote
Aceman: "It's not my intent to censor these stories. However, if they contain material of an adult nature, it would be polite to have a warning at the beginning. If I would have to goto a ADULT VIDEO STORE to buy this story. I don't think I want it on SFM."
If you are unsure about the suitability of your content, please add a disclaimer in your synopsis.
Better safe than sorry.
3. Synopsis. Every member must give a short synopsis of their story, in the begning of their post, like:
If you are writing a short story about two guys stranded on the forgoten planet or something like that, your post should look like this:
_______
Synopsis:

_______
Story:

_______
4. COVER ART - You are free to post upto a 135x135 image to serve as your cover art and draw in readers. If you use someone's artwork you SHOULD get their permission first. Additionally - credit the artwork like was done in the coverart for this guide.
I think that's it . . . if the staff thinks of anything else, it can be added here.
happy writings
