DO Readers Like Fiction??
I think a good start would be the NYTimes bestseller's list.
if you go into any library or book store, look at what people are checking out. people read fiction to escape, I don't see that every dying.
there's a huge market for fiction if you know how to write well and have a good publisher.

0Give it some time...I published 9 hubs that are short stories and a total of 7 that are novels in progress, which are too long for many to read. The best way to gain readership and comments is to read other people's hubs and to leave comments, plain and simple

My most successful hub is a piece of short fiction. Not even a full story, merely a scene. It will be continued(writing the next stage now), but it's very short, with no clear plot line and it still does very well.
So, I'd encourage it.
No, not at all. I tend to write a little of everything. However, I did major in Creative Writing and so am like a duck in a pond when it comes to fiction

That's a good question, Parmarora. Thanks for asking it. I was thinking along those lines, myself, of writing a continuing story, one hub a week...Put it together after a year or so, and you get a book. I was wondering that same thing, if anyone here on Hub would read it, as much of the articles are topical and contain good info, but aren't fiction. I haven't come across very much fiction, but what I have, I've enjoyed. (dohn121 has some really good stuff out there, for one, and there's a couple of really humourous Brits that just slay me)...
Do me a little favor if you feel like it and post a reply to this with a link to your fiction hub, and see if traffic improves. (Click on formatting tips on the right hand side of the reply window to see how to do that.)

Should you write from the heart?
I know it sounds cliche, but when I choose to write fiction, not necessarily my views, I worry that I'll be judged. It is fiction, but does anyone else struggle with this?
