Fanfare for Fiction
Seven days of Fiction
Nothing to read? Take a look at the fiction tag.
I see these names and regard them as friends. They ‘live' next door, just across the street, they’re neighbours. This is my homage to the writers here in our own tag of #fiction

Yes, I’m biased. I’m allowed to be a little biased, surely?

What can I say about this? Alienbutt is a storyteller extraordinaire. He refuses the title of ‘Author’ and goes by his own, that of ‘Drunken Storyteller’. Well, ok, that fits.
Give the story a try. Especially if you like Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and/or Red Dwarf.

This one seems too close to the truth for comfort. The story really did make me think, “Oh-oh! What if…” and that’s always a sign of a good story for me!

ezzy is a lovely guy. I met him in Amsterdam at SteemFest. A gentleman, a writer and thoroughly genuine guy. I don’t know if his novel, Symbiotic Protocol is published or not, but I do hope it is, or will be, soon.

I started reading this almost from the beginning and I’m so pleased to see ashlynncrow is still going strong, building readership and followers.

Being out-fictioned is a mind-blowing achievement.

What? I just have to mention my own stuff!

John is a prolific writer and he always produces good work. I have to mention him because he puts out a lot of variation in his work too.

This is one I put forward for the Steem-Trail award.
Another as yet, undiscovered talent.

A Caution rather than a story. Take heed, beware.

I have noticed a few things in the #fiction tag:
The stories are as diverse as we humans are. No two stories turn out the same, even if they are from a similar inspiration.
Editing and proofreading varies as much as the diversity of tales. Don’t shoot the messenger!
There are a lot of chapters from novels running loose – and that’s not a bad thing.
There are also a number of articles that are not fiction, but are about fiction – again, that’s not a bad thing, we’re not tag-precious!

Thanks for the tag, did not see any of my posts mentioned though. I was ironically thinking about writing fiction earlier, just not sure how many people want to go down that rabbit hole with me.
I saw the Rabbit hole story. I'm sorry... I only had chance to mention a few posts, but I did mention you in 'Despatches' so to speak :)
I'm hoping to make this a regular thing, so I'll keep an eye on your stories <3
what rabbit hole story? the one I havent written yet? can you tell me a little bit about how it goes so I can get started?
LOL I'm sorry! I just realised. I saw someone mention rabbit hole, and I assumed it was you. Trust me, my brain is befuddled with looking at all these posts, tagging all the tags and I may need a lie down in a wet room with a warm towel over my eyes...
No idea what a wet room is, can you link me the rabbit hole post? I am curious now...
See? I replied to your request before you even made the request... rabbit holes... worm holes...
Oh.. found it... The Rabbit Hole story... you write it next week.
No spoilers, sorry
Sounds exciting, I will clear my calendar and get to work. The fact that it is starting here in some kind of time slippage has me intrigued.
You're welcome :)
Thanks for the shout out! I found your post because of our new, handy Steemit.com browser notifications! :)
I know, right! It's awesome!
thanks for the mention, Michelle :)
Always welcome :)
Hi @michelle.gent
great write-up, your list was fairly exhaustive.
Looking forward to the rabbit hole story @codydeeds
I think I got everyone in the list ;)
Thanks for the shout-out! I always need more readers :D
You're welcome, happy to help :)
Thanks for a mention @michelle.gent I am seriously thinking of starting to write more fiction. I think it is the step I am ready to take on my writer's path. :)
You're welcome and it's great to see I've actually encouraged you to keep going on the fiction-trail ;)

I've been meaning to get over here and say thanks. I was spacing out on my pictures again then got busy tapping the keys. Thanks! I hope more people came along to my blog to see the pile of... wait... I better not spoil it for anyone.
Hahaha! You're welcome.
:)
Hey there, @michelle.gent.
Thank you for the extremely kind words and humbling praise. Still not quite finished with the book but should be soon enough, lol. Just wanted to echo your thoughts when at the fest and meeting yourself and @s0u1. Wouldn't have been the same without you guys there and therefore thank you for the bottom of our hearts for the opportunity to meet as lovely a couple as you both.
Always beaming and so enthusiastic, the pleasure was all ours (@rea included)! Till next time... :)
Aww - You're entirely welcome and I'm a great believer in Karma - you get back what you put out. You guys put out such positivity <3
See you soon, hopefully :)
