    2) Nobody reads short fiction.

I do!

I'm not going to call it a guilty pleasure but I love sites like this because yeah, there's going to be a lot of garbage, but there is also a lot of sci-fi gold.

I'm also a big fan of those massive short-story anthologies that get put out every year with titles like 'Best Short Sci-Fi of 20XX' or 'Masters of Horror Short Stories 20XX.' I've seen a lot of great stuff from pretty big name authors, little insights into their mainstream universes (Game of Thrones, Neil Gaiman stuff like American Gods, for those who like Gaiman) or a whole different side to their writing.
