RE: Post your Favorite Short Stories
I'm frankly not too lirterate. I like the feel and look of a book, but have little patience to read one. When I was 16 or so, I was given "Tales from Margaritaville", by musician Jimmy Buffett. I still kind of like his characters (I DO enjoy character development. Plots are a weakness for me).

Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

I like those short stories I read in gay porn magazines. Shall I share?

Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle

I like it because of Holmes' acutely logical way of reasoning and his emotionally detached manner.

"The Dead" by James Joyce. Actually, I love all of Dubliners, but the final story in the collection holds a special place in my heart.

It's a shame that didn't carry into Doyle's real life. See the Cottingley Fairies story for more information.

Well, if that counts, there's also some foot fetish stories I like by SouthernCrossfire44 on Deviantart, but he's clearly no Schwartz or Salinger. And you'd need a DA account to read it.

Is there a scene where two chicks get it on?  Big Grin

By all means, share away. I've never read a gay porn short story before. But there's a first time for everything. Go ahead and post Smile

Edit: You can always post an original short story too, Mr. Writer. I think I'd rather read that if you got one.


For folks who want to post directly into the thread, why not use spoiler tags? Especially if the story is long. That way we don't have to use links when it's unnecessary.

I loved it, Hammy!

I'm going to make an effort to read at least one story from everyone who posts (unless I've read the story before, as with Brew's submission). It seems like that would be a fruitive exercise.
