An entry the other day raised an interesting question. Most writers who have sent stories have tended to stay to the general fiction‚ genre but this author submitted a science-fiction story.

Reading it made for a nice change and there is absolutely no reason why other authors cannot submit a variety of genres as well.

Science-fiction is a good example, actually, because it is one of those genres that pioneered short stories, with everyone from Isaac Asimov to HG Wells producing such works.

So, we were delighted to read this particular entry. Here’s to more which span the range of short story writing.

And don’t worry, I won’t say the experience was ‘out of this world’‚ because that would be a lazy cliché and judges do not like lazy cliches. Oh, hang on, might just be too late.
