Good Story On Overflowingbra.com

[spongebathe83]

yeah, the entries in overflowingbra get thousands of downloads but almost 0 feedback.
Good story, Gaff. Can't wait for the next one.

I kinda liked the "Louder than bombs" one.

It's a great story. Can't wait to hear a bit more. Loving some of the description so far.

I've been trying forever to find a place for mine, but I'm not sure where it could go. I mean I started it here in the forums, but some sort of story site where it would fit. It's...a bit outside the box.

The Story Contest is going on right now, so yes, there has been a severe drought of stories lately.

*reads*

Story contest is over, my friend. Did you not check the Results Page on OFB? And the reason alot of "good" stories have not shown on there is the lack of feedback on them in the past. Ask anyone in here about a story, and you'd get 10000000 responses (thats a compliment to you guys), but alot of them aren't here and they rely on direct feedback to them (hence why they include an e-mail) and not alot of people utilize it. I do, as I'm sure there are a few others on this site that do. But believe me, as an avid fiction writer (I try to do something once a week) I know the frustrations on seeing the views but never getting any feedback. The true dedicated writers are the ones that continue in spite of such. The ones that are just doing it for one are the ones that will alot of times go for other green pastures.

Buddy, I'm gonna read your story tomorrow and let you know what I think of it. From seeing others on here, I'm sure I'll enjoy it.

One last thing, did anyone else really love The Game (i believe that was the title) where it was the Jumanji type BE game? Has a follow up ever been written by the author or anyone else? I think out of all the stories, that one was my favorite by far. I know on Choose Your Own Change website they have a story line that goes that route, but I'd rather read a full story like it instead of a choose-your-own-adventure. I remember reading The Game back when MarkT's Story Archive was still active on the BEA and now that its long dead (as is my own writing gallery on the BEA) I rely on the OFB, which like many of you have said, has gotten kinda.. meh as of late.

<i>Edit: I just realized this post puts me out of 'lurker' mode. Heh I guess I don't have much to say about art but when it comes to writing, a passion in which I love very much, I'll open up to ya.</i>

That's last years contest. There's a new one going on.

[Quadhouse]

The deadline for entries has passed. There was only 6 entries. The judging is now going on and results will be posted when all judments have been received.

There should be a Highlights section or something, maybe, where whoever it is who runs the site selects a story or two weekly that stands out, regardless of date. It would probably drive up traffic a bit too.

The Minutes and Act of Faith are two of my favorite TF stories. Big fan of both authors (Fret Pearson and Bill Pratt, respectively). Pearson's Slumber Party is probably my #1 fave in the genre. Pratt's Rumour Mill is up there as well.

Mammalaria didn't catch my interest before, but I'll check it out now.

So this might just be alarmist banter but overflowingbra.com seemed to be down.

Does anyone know something about this?

[Permafrost]

Seems up to me.
