I put up the first first chapter of Broken Crown, which is in every possible way unlike the published first chapter.

It's at http://msagara.livejournal.com/41039.html

I posted Among the Trees, a very short story that has earned me more "nice, but..." comments from editors than any other story.

This playlist works for me in random order. Of course, I dance like a crazy person (hence the title) and like a lot of different kinds of music, so your mileage is likely to vary. It is eternally a work in progress.

If you have any questions about any of the entries, my email is at the bottom of the list.

Apologies in advance to everyone who hates PDF format as much as I do -- but there really isn't any easy way to do this one electronically otherwise.

Nothing "all new" from Robert Reed, but I reposted the last two of his scifiction.com stories, so all seven are now available on his own website:

Hidden Paradise
Man for the Job

Plus a list of all of Bob's free online stories is at

his F.A.Q. page

I did an extra entry for my current ongoing internet writing project, Drabbling Daily. It can be found here. Interesting note -- the first drafts were written on typewriter, which might make me a wretch both ink-stained AND pixel-stained. Espescially since I had to re-wind ribbon D:

I'm not a pro and I can't judge if this is of "professional quality" so I am offering it only in the spirit of the day, not as a proper contribution. But still... here's "A moment in the life of a Finnish man" (600 words): http://antti-juhani.kaijanaho.fi/newblog/archives/292

I'm reasonably proud of some of my more considered online posts, but finding, revising & reposting them is a bit too much in my present state, so I put up an even older short piece that didn't need reworking in my LJ as well as on my blog. I don't know if it really qualifies, and even after this long I certainly can't yet look at the quality of the writing objectively, but, well, one wants to show willing.

BTW, have you noticed that the spelling checker on LJ doesn't recognise either LJ, blog, or even online? Sigh *rolls eyes, shakes head ruefully*.
