Uplifting stories for crazy times

Fran Tracey and Julia Underwood have set up a new Facebook group offering free cheery reads to help distract ourselves from virus related worries. They say 'we are always looking for new published authors. Pm the admins for details.' 

If you do decide to offer a story, keep in mind that according to Facebook's terms you're technically giving them non-exclusive copyright and won't be able to sell the story or offer it into a competition as unpublished.

I've contributed a daft little piece, and Ginny Swart has a fun story there  to help get things going. New stories will be added periodically.

You can join the group here.

Great! I have joined the group. I can comment, but not post, which is strange.

I think Fran and Julia want to read, check (and sometimes edit) stories first before posting, Jenny, which make sense to me. It's such a fab idea!

Yes that's right, Sharon. I've replied to Jenny too. It's a community for writers and readers. Thanks for your post, Patsy.

It's a great idea of Fran and Julia's. I've got one story up on there, and plan to send more. Anything we can do to bring a smile in these awful times is welcoming. I've loved reading the stories already posted on there so far, so well done for bringing some cheer :)
