Hey all, in between working on Skaven Fan Fiction i've also been writing sci-fi/fantasy short stories that I hope to get published. I realise this is a shameless self-plug, but i've recently completed a piece that i'm going to send to several publications, and i was hoping that any amongst you who have the time and inclination mightgive it a read first and let me know what you think. The more details and critical the better. I understand that most of you have little free time and undoubtedly have better things to spend it on, but if any of you are interested in giving it a read, please let me know. Its a short story, approx. 4000 words long, titled "Haiti". It is set on the eve of the slave rebellion on the colony of Saint-Domingue, and chronicles the rise of an ancient power, and one man's struggle for freedom. Anyway, to anyone whose interested, please let me know and i'll email you a copy, i will be eternally grateful, and if there's any favour you even need, just ask!
Cheers,
DB

Yep. I'm up for a read. Short stories are always enjoyable to read and are generally quick and easy to analyse and critique. Greatly enjoyed Cultist in Praag, I'd be happy to give you a hand with this. Not busy this weekend so I should be reasonably prompt. Shall PM my email address. :)

@WillQueek I can't say fairer than that, i guess if you find it to boring to finish that says all you need to anyway :P

I'd be happy to read through it - though likely I won't be able to until Mondayish due to coursework. :)
