   ar.coltonposted 13 years ago

   Hello!
   
   Though I only publish non-fiction here on hubpages (as well as a few other places around the web) I am primarily a fiction writer. I write in many diffrent genres, sci fi fantasy, romance, romantica, and literary fiction so I  write under a handful of pen names. A couple novels (unpublished) and a number short stories under my belt. It's great to meet everyone! I hope we can all share in eachother's successes. There's so much mirth and so little genuine kinship amongst fiction writers.
   
   Glad to know and follow you all! Good luck with your fiction writing!

   I really don't publish my fiction on Hubpages anymore, but I do write much more fiction than the stuff I publish on here.  I will be sure to post if/when I have any fiction of note published. 
   
   I tend to write literary fiction.  I find my writing most influenced by William Faulkner, Washington Irving, and Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

   Yep - another aspiring author here. Written quite a few short stories and have 4 novels in the works - if I combined them it would probably make one very bad novel!
   
   I tend to write in the Science Fiction and Fantasy genres - am trying my hand at a 'funny' fantasy novel which I may publish in parts on here!
   
   I'm also tackling a very difficult 'factual' book for a very good friend - it's very daunting and is truly an incredible and devistating story - will probably publish Chapter one on here once I've completed it!

    Isn't it true that anyone can get a book published  with publishers such as smash words.So, it it is a bit crazy when we start saying well done, congrats etc when hubbers say they got a book published.
    It is vanity publishing but thankfully free of charge. That is all that has changed.

       Good point! I am not, to be honest, a big fan of when people start threads to announce their own books or other people's books. But it is so tough to sell any copies that people will use whatever means at their disposal. I also agree that with self-publishing or vanity publishing, quality is not guaranteed - reviews can help consumers sort through that.

    Hi, I've been writing on HubPages for about 16 months and have posted nearly 900 articles, prose and poetry as well as a few of my books in chapter posts. I have written and published twelve books prior to joining HubPages and have written non-fiction, two peotry books as well as plays, short stories and fiction in genres such as fantasy, historically based fiction, occult thriller, general fiction and sci-fi. I currently have two books on the drawing board, about half finished. These days I spend a great deal of time writing poetry and prose. I certainly need a break to go mainstream with my work, but have found it hard going. Take a look at my work, see what you think.
    Best wishes,

    Hi Everyone, I am sorry I'm so late to the party.
    
    I've been writing on HubPages for about a month and a half. I've really enjoyed it and will surely continue whether I get rich or not. It's a great community.
    
    On point, I've written all my life. Most of my writing has ended up in my desk drawer collection. I've written a lot of poetry and a few short stories. Being here has really gotten the juices flowing and now I aim to attempt a novel.
    
    I have always enjoyed those books that can appeal to young adults as well as us old fogies. That is why I am hoping to start with a fiction novel that involves children in an adult type situation.
    
    Nice to meet you here and wish me luck!

    I've been here for about a month and I have two hubs, but now that I know I can write fiction here that's going to change drastically. Quick question though what is the best word count if you're going to put a story up on HP? If it's anything less than 10 000 words then I'm not even going to bother trying. I guess you can't really put up a 150 000 word story here, probably too much for most people.

    Hello, I'm new to hubpages. I go by Franco, and I'm currently a junior in college pursuing a creative writing degree with a concentration in fiction. I love to write (and much of what I do is community/co-authored writing, but you will likely not see any of that here). I hope to share a lot of short stories, character sketches, prose poems--basically odds and ends. I would like to write stories that aren't definite and ending. I'm attracted to the idea of ongoing, periodical stories. Like a television show, but written and posted on the web every week or so. I am hoping that hubpages will get my writing some traffic as well as feedback. Plus it'd be cool to meet more writers.

    Jester4554posted 13 years ago

    Well now, my name is Alexander O., yet I choose to portray myself online under Jester (with some variation of 4's and 5's following afterward). I wrote almost constantly throughout my high school career, as focusing on my classes was dreadfully dreary, but it wasn't until recently I actually began to think of taking my love for writing and applying it toward career searching. Simply stated, I love playing with words. There appears to be no end to the variations of worlds, creatures, people, and stories that can be forged from a mere stringing of letters. Truly, that is perhaps what's most fascinating about writing - that we only have 26 letters, and yet we're able to create an infinite number of ideas and tales from those symbols.
    
    I am working on a six (seven if you count the prelude) book long fantasy series that I hope to be fairly popular, but if not, at least I can say that I had fun writing the stories and bringing my characters to life. Currently - in an attempt to make some money - I will be putting most of my energy into beginning a fan-fiction tale that follows my character in the RPG Fallout New Vegas as I travel through the game and work toward completing the story line once again. Essentially, the series will read much like any other first person story, but will also be an interesting guide for others who are curious about how another player may have gotten through the various assortment of quests available in the game.

    Hi, my name is Rikke
    I've been writing for most of my teenage years, but a around last October, I got the inspiration for a book, and have been working on it ever since.
    I'm currently finishing sixthform, so I don't have as much time to write as I'd like, but I'll be done in a few weeks, and can hopefully get a good dig in after that.
    I dream of becoming a writer, but I'm a realist and will therefore take the safer rode of university and steady job and simply write on the side.

    Hello, I am from Buford, Georgia and my name is Lara. I write about pretty much anything that I can think of. Currently, I am working on a novel, a children's story book, and poetry. I have always had a passion for writing. Just the sheer thought of making a world that is purely your own creation is simply wonderful. Writing is something that I wish I could devote more time too but between two jobs, school, and just life in generally there really is not any time left. So, I take notebooks with me to jot down notes whenever inspiration hits because that is always the best time for me to start a project. Writing is a hobby currently but hopefully I can turn my passion into something more.

    My name's Mack.  I just joined a few days back, I'm hoping that I can write some good articles and get a little extra income, and eventually become a published author and get to work from home.  It's gonna be a long road, but it's worth a shot I think.
    
    Right now I have a few short stories under my belt, they're almost all fantasy, and they're all character backgrounds from role playing games.  I've got an idea going for a novella/novel, and another idea for a novel (or two), but I've got a lot of work to do before I think they'll be good enough for public eyes.
    
    My style tends to be rather descriptive, but emotionless.  That's something I'd like to work on with some short stories, and I think I'll post some works here, and would welcome any feedback I can get.

    Chris Hughposted 13 years ago

    Hi, I'm Chris Hugh. I write fiction, mostly humor. I have Blondhilda, the newest of the Norse gods. She came into being when Stanley Chester Brown (computer enthusiast and famous graphic novelist) had two Blondhilda comics on the NYT bestsellers list simultaneously. "Blondhilda and the Tongue Ring of Thunder" is his most acclaimed work. Blondhilda has the power to kick someone into geosynchronous orbit, but most often vanguishes through her razor sharp but somewhat naive intellect.
    
    I also have two black cats, Twitch and Mr. Kitten. They get into many humorous adventures in their stories and in real life. They even have a wordpress blog, Furryoverlord. Sometimes they are turned into human beings. Whether human or cat, they get into trouble.
    
    Twitch is subject to bladder problems and struvite crystals in his urine. In one story, he and Blondhilda were trapped in a freezing storage room. His struvite crystals came in handy when they were able to use a crystal to focus a laser and cut their way through the steel walls to freedom.
    
    I've also written parodies of Dan Brown and Stieg Larsson: "The Veni Vidi Vici Code," "The Last Cymbal" and "The Dragon with the Girl Tattoo." I have a lot of stories on my blog, which you can reach through my profile here.

    It's a shame there isn't a better venue here for fiction writers to show their work to the world.  I think there's money to be made if HP would simply support an occasional collection of creative fiction hubs for the best of our efforts.  But still, it is good to be able to publish our work here and get at least a bit of exposure.  Perhaps it may lead to something eventually.

    Just came across this forum, figured I'd introduce myself.  My name is Jenn, 25 years old.  I'm currently working on some short stories as well as a fiction novel.  When writing fiction I usually lean more in the horror genre, though I don't let it define me.  I am newer to HP and would appreciate any feedback I could get, on my hubs or in general.  I always take to heart the words from other writers.

       Hello Jenn welcome to HP..I am not used to get here as I don't often write stories. But I love reading other hubbers. I do write anything but not much. Again welcome to HP!!!!!

    Just joined Hubpages, so I shall introduce myself. I write anything and everything, and I am currently working on a YA novel. It's taken me a while though, so whether it will get finished, I'm not sure!! As you can probably tell, I'm not published yet, but I'm still working on it. Like Jenn, I would appreciate any feedback on my hubs.
