12 Days of Fiction

I had an idea. An idea that would make the perfect gift for people this holiday season. Story. Creation. Narrative. All for free.

So I contacted some people I know who I thought might make a good fit. People who have a creative streak and have something to say. People from different backgrounds and different ways of expressing themselves.

Each day for 12 days, new material will be released. It's our gift to you. Happy Holidays. Celebrate story.
