It&#8217;s more than an article. It&#8217;s a manifesto, a call to action, and something I think everyone who enjoys short fiction should consider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, she is using her quarterly column on i09 to highlight the best short fiction that she has read during that quarter, but she has bigger dreams. She dreams of a site dedicated to chronicling short fiction and allowing signed-in users to rate and discuss the merits of the various stories submitted to the site. Kind of like a Goodreads for short stories and novellas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This seems like a brilliant idea to me. She&#8217;s hesitant to jump into it because of concerns about funding. I&#8217;m not sure how much money something like this would cost, but I hope someone is able to make it happen.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I believe short fiction is experiencing a bit of a re-birth due to e-books. It would be great if there was an easier way to find the really good stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What do you folks think? Any interest in something like this?<\/p>\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/io9.com\/io9-newsstand-has-one-last-thing-to-say-about-the-hugo-1728796923\" class=\"embedly-card\" data-card-recommend=\"0\" data-card-width=\"100%\">http:\/\/io9.com\/io9-newsstand-has-one-last-thing-to-say-about-the-hugo-1728796923<\/a><\/p>\n      ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>        K Tempest Bradford\u00a0has written an interesting piece on i09.<br \/>\n       <a href=\"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/2015\/09\/04\/k-tempest-bradford-has-written-an-interesting-piece-on-i09\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":77,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[153],"tags":[94],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21311"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/77"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21311"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21311\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21311"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21311"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21311"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
