Songs or song-based stories; these can (and often are) put to music. Perhaps someday we'll be able to play them for you. Aspiring musicians: post your fantasy or sci-fi lyrics here for our enjoyment and critique.

Ballads are typically finished in one sitting, so unless the first posting states that the ballad is open, please do not add pages unless you are the original author.

And here it is: the Interactive Story section, where you can participate in the writing and help guide the story along. All short stories here are begun by one person, but any registered user can participate in the process once it has started. Feel free to add a page or start your own!

Entries of few words. Less than 500, to be exact. Typically, you will find a challenge over on the Writer's Boards to create a microfiction of X words or less. Eisel, our fearless writing editor, creates these challenges and selects the best for small, but worthwhile prizes.

Not quite song lyrics, poems may rhyme, may take a beat, may take a form or may not. From the smallest haiku to the longest epic poem, find and write them here. Aspiring poets unite under these pages.

Poems are typically written by one author, so unless the first posting allows you to do so, please don't add pages if you are not the original author.

These stories are written by a single author, usually in segments over time, and provided here for your enjoyment. Aspiring fantasy / sci-fi authors: write here!

Read, enjoy, and by all means, COMMENT! on the pages. You'll find a link at the bottom of each page. But do not add pages unless you are the original author.
