Introducing #quikfic
I’ve had a spotty record for new fiction so far this year. I’m planning to change that soon. I’m also adding, as of today, a new fiction feature.
Taking a leaf from a lot of other people who write fiction in 140 characters or less and post it on Twitter, I’m going to do likewise. You’ll see it on my Twitter feed (@BryonCannon) with the hashtag #quikfic. I will also post the tiny stories here on Fridays for those who either aren’t on Twitter or who simply prefer all their Catsignal content to be in one place.
Enjoy!
