We are very happy to announce that all of the stories submitted to this year's Christmas Short Story Event are ow live! So get busy reading.
It seems that The Story Lower with the help of Jeff P. has revived an old Fort Family Tradition with their version of Twas The Night Before Christmas, it is a bit different from the original, but still fun to read.
Happy reading,

Posted by Fred DeElve
Attention Everyone,
Due to my throwing my back out loading Santa's Sleigh, I have moved the Deadline to Wednesday, December 23rd at Midnight PST (Pacific Standard Time). That way my Elven Editing Team and I, will have time to finish their edits and for me to make sure that all the stories get posted on time. Christmas Morning that is.
Have fun writing,

Posted by Fred DeElve
Hello Authors, Writers, Readers, Those Thinking About Writing,
Due to your overwhelming requests, the Big Guy has decided to add another Theme to this Year's Christmas Short Story Event:
The New Theme is Christmas At Denny's® or A Denny's® Christmas, either one will work.
All the guidelines are still the same, so sharpen your pencils and fill your ink bottles, times awasting.
Don't forget, you don't need to be a hosted author to submit a story, so if you have been thing about writing a story, come and join the fun.

Posted by Fred DeElve
We have been quarantined here at the North Pole since we are also Social Distancing getting access to our Internet Computer has been daunting, however, I finally succeeded so without further ado here are this year's themes:
What I Want for Christmas, A Dragon Earl Christmas*, A Clan Short Christmas*, Is Santa Claus Real?
The Guidelines are very simple as usual:
As always this event is open to all readers and authors.
Happy Writing,
* The Stories A Dragon Earl Christmas & A Clan Short Christmas, would include characters from their individual copyrighted stories and/or universes. Stories written for this event will be considered Non-Canon FanFic, unless the Universe Creators decide otherwise. (Yes, they just may like your work enough to validate it in the actual story universe. It can and has happened before!) Be sure to contact any author before you write their characters into your story, to get their consent. Don't worry, they don't bite...we think.
IMPORTANT: Characters from the following stories are considered Off-Limits by the originating author: Ark, Lost Souls, Out Of The Past, and Joel from Sa'ren is Off-Limits (but you can contact the author about other characters).
