Ideas and Stories

Yesterday Brian Lindenmuth emailed a link to the shortest horror story ever written. You can read it here along with a 1 word sci-fi story :) http://www.futilitycloset.com/2010/09/16/short-shorts/ Brian also sent a pair of links that give some history into the horror story. http://everything2.com/user/TenMinJoe/writeups/The+World%2527s+Shortest+Horror+Story and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knock_%28short_story%29

Over on Patti Abbott's blog she's talking about where ideas come from with a very good discussion going on in the comments. http://pattinase.blogspot.com/2010/09/where-does-idea-come-from.html

Which brings me to my final link. Since I've discussed different aspects of this story here on the blog and Christopher Grant was kind enough to publish it, I thought I'd share. http://a-twist-of-noir.blogspot.com/2010/09/twist-of-noir-583-sandra-seamans.html This was the story I was rewriting for Spingtingler's revenge contest but it went way long.
