Democracy

I've been on a writing kick; short stories, mostly. I have an idea swimming around the back of my mind of a set of short stories which all kind of build on one another, since that's the way I seem to be going... but that's some time in the future.

I have one that I'm fairly happy with. That's a good thing. The bad thing, as far as this is concerned, is that it's long and, I think, not easily divided. It's a short story, you kind of need all of it. But the last time I posted fiction of that length, I got no less than six comments, in various ways, telling me that it was too long and that they didn't read it.

So, I'm up for a vote. It's about 6000 words long, or ten and a bit single spaced pages. Leave a comment or get in touch with me some other way saying you want it or you can't be bothered. If you really can't be bothered, I'll take a non-response as a no... since I'm pretty sure I'm familiar with my readership.

Cheers.

Make it an attachment and e-mail it in the general direction of Indonesia, and I will give it a go. It will make a nice break from "Vanity Fair" in any case.

I'll read it. It'll likely take me a few days to get to it, but I'll read it.

...just don't expect much in the way of well-thought out literary constructive criticism.

Though I'm still trying to figure out which part of "well-thought out literary constructive criticism" will be the part giving me trouble.

Anyway. Send/post, please!
