Hi all, here is another belated blog. I have found an interesting website for any aspiring writers, which is http://www.short-stories.co.uk - some of the stories are great, some not so much, and vary from one or two pages long upwards. I find even the not so good ones interesting as the reader can maybe see how the prose 'went wrong.' But hey, I am no critic - I have discovered from my writing course that it is very,very difficult to pen a good story without devoting enough time and thought to it. My 1st is nearly finished, and I will try to 'blog it up' by the end of the day. Or it might take me that long to think of a decent title!
There is also a link at the top where the genres list is, called HYPERFICTION that could be of interest to the more avant garde or technically minded among you - its a bit beyond me, but I shall take another look as it seems like interesting ideas. Anyway, still grappling with this damn story - watch this space!

Looking forward to reading your story. And thanks (?!) for the information about hyperfiction I have just been trying to build a hyperlinked story - into the small hours!
Oh, you two are brilliant! Look into hyperfiction - if you're interested we can do some work on it in the new year as it's one of my areas of speciality. (glows with excietment at genius of class). In the meantime look at UBUWEB (google it) and the Electronic Poetry Center - http://epc.buffalo.edu for some amazing mind bending stuff. I'm sending everyone this link too as it has tons of writing opportunities on it that you may want to pursue - competitions, calls for submissions etc. I've pulled out some really appropriate ones I think would be good for you all and will give you next term but in the meantime do look: www.literaturetraining.com and then go to the "jobs and opportunities" link on the left. hope that works.
