I wondered if Hubski has got a tag for people wishing to submit stories, slightly longer than a short story? I know there is the #creativewriting, #shortstory and, obviously, the #writing tags currently in use and active, but is there a tag where people post slightly longer stories? Just asking because I don't want to incorrectly tag a post!
I was also wondering if it was preferable to post the whole story in the body of post (often difficult due to bodies of text being unappealing) or if there is a preferable "host website" (such as Wattpad, which isn't a a favourite but useable) which we could link too?
Anyways, just wondering guys, let me know any info because I'm pretty new here!
Hey, I'm late to the game, but Google docs is a safe way to link and get exactly the format you're looking for. Also, I wouldn't worry about length. If you think it's too long, just post a word count in the description. Also, if you didn't know this already, if it's an original work, in the United States at least the copy write laws say you don't have to be registered to put you name with the © symbol next to it. Being registered just makes is easy (possible?) to press charges against your work being stolen. You can get the symbol by putting on the numb lock then holding alt as you type 0169. In other words, Numb + Alt + 0169. I recommend it for all amateur writers.
hey, I'm sorry I missed this post earlier, welcome to Hubski. There isn't a tag specifically for that just yet, but that doesn't mean you cannot create one yourself. Perhaps #novella? I look forward to reading your work MadreDios, a belated "welcome" to Hubski. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me.
No problem, thanks a bunch! Sorry it took me over a month to reply, I've been without a laptop or internet access for that time, so forgot all about it. I'm still writing the story I originally asked this question about, but as of today I posted my first attempt at a (very very short) scifi story under the tag #shortstory. Not sure if I should have put it under the tag #scifi but that can be amended. Thanks again for answering, see you round!
I read the story you posted and really enjoyed it. I'll comment on that there but thought I'd mention that you can post any length of story on Hubski too if you'd like. Recently, kleinbl00 posted an original story that I think you might enjoy here: http://hubski.com/pub?id=71707 He chose to post in in 7 parts and has only as yet posted 4 of them. I was able to get a sneak peak at his entire story and I highly recommend you read it as I think your short story and his are quite complimentary. -More so towards the end of his.
