Alt.Fiction.Original - Original Stories. Novel Excerpts & Poems from the Alt.Fiction.Original Newsgroup

The above Latin quote by Juvenal sums up the general feeling of the Alt.Fiction.Original newsgroup. It's where we gather to share, critique, commiserate and most of all, support.

The alt.fiction.original story archive is your one-stop location to find all the short stories posted to alt.fiction.original. Stories are arranged chronologically and indexed by the author's last name. All stories are in posted in HTML and text format. A story flagged with an asterisk carries a cautionary warning.



If you are a visitor to this archive and feel that you would like to comment on a story you have read here, then subscribe to the alt.fiction.original newsgroup and post it there. You will be made welcome, and your comments appreciated. Some people have had difficulty in subscribing as their ISP doesn't support newsgroups, so I would suggest a visit to http://groups.google.com/ or http://www.newsranger.com/ , as both of those sites cater to such situations.

Alt.fiction.original is a newsgroup for the posting of stories or fragments so that other writers can review and criticize the work. The aim is to help each other to better our writing. Stories can be posted to the group in text format, according to the accepted rules of Usenet, but we discourage the posting of URLs' of sites where authors have their own work displayed. The full FAQ for the group can be found here. The group is friendly towards new writers and our major critics are in the main kind to all writers.

All stories placed in the alt.fiction.original archive are the property of the authors.
