"A literary community for adventurous readers and writers." The Fictionaut website is a 'walled garden' with the public gaining access only by invitation (for the moment), but the
weblog is open to all. The latter highlights the community's favourite content, forming a Web-based in-house newsletter of sorts.
This is no candidate for the BBC's
Have I Got News For You Missing Words round featuring an obscure "guest publication" - unless reading and writing are now considered unusual hobbies. It's exciting to see the sheer enthusiasm members have for new and established writers. The new year has brought with it
Fictionaut Faves, mini-reviews of Fictionaut members' favourite stories from the community, and we are also treated to regular interviews with Fictionaut authors, a veritable treasure trove for publishers who are always looking for new talent.
One of our favourite entries at the moment includes this
Q&A:
What is so important about the first line in any work of fiction?
Surely you jest.
