1. Curated Story Recommendations: I’ve been sharing some of my favorite short stories here. Hoping this becomes a go-to spot for everyone to find a quality read each day—whether you’re on the go or winding down before bed. I hope these picks make your daily reads more enjoyable.

2. Exploring New Sources Together: Let’s not only share our favorite stories but also help each other discover fresh sources. Whether it’s hidden gems on a blog, a captivating podcast, or an up-and-coming author on a niche platform, let’s make this community a hub for uncovering diverse sources of short stories.

3. Platform for New Voices: More than anything I hope we have a platform for emerging writers to showcase their work, ensuring that original perspectives have space to flourish. I love nothing more than reading works by one of our own.

4. Constructive Feedback Culture: Encourage members to provide thoughtful, constructive feedback, fostering an environment of growth and improvement for writers at all skill levels. This relies on members posting their own work which I strongly endorse.

5. Respect for Copyright: While a pirate myself, for the sake of this instance’s rules, I hope to promote respect for intellectual property. Anytime I haven’t posted a link it’s a story pre 1923.

6. Engagement and Collaboration: Facilitate collaboration among members, fostering a sense of community through joint projects, anthologies, and shared endeavors. This seems a bit too optimistic for a community so small but one can dream.

7. More Meta Discussions: Encourage meta discussions in our community to foster a deeper understanding of narrative choices, enabling members to explore diverse perspectives and refine their storytelling skills collaboratively.

I also intend to add a few communities on the sidebar for discovery. Please recommend any community you think we should have tagged.
