Fiction Frenzy №7— Reading List

Summary

Fiction Frenzy №7 presents a curated reading list for 16–30 April 2023, featuring new chapters from various serial novels and a reminder of the group's rules for participation and support.

Abstract

The Fiction Frenzy crew is greeted with the seventh iteration of their biweekly reading list, which coincides with the arrival of spring and a significant change: the merger of Web Novel Reviews and Creative Writing 101 into a new publication called The Fiction Writer’s Den. This list includes Chapter 7 of "Gimme Some Sugar" by C.A. Jaymes, "Sorcerer" by JF Danskin, "Anastasia the Nonbinary Dragon" by Sieran Lane, "The Rum Runner’s River" by Shanice Lawton, "Omni Joins a Memory Quest" by Zane Dickens the Instigator, and Chapter 2 of "A Hell of a Bedtime Story" by Jay C Wells. The group's rules emphasize the exclusivity of fiction, the expectation for members to read and comment on each other's work, the encouragement to give 50 claps and highlight exciting parts, and the continuation of promoting serial fiction from previous rounds unless members opt out. The author, Jay C Wells, also invites readers to support the fiction writer community and their own writing through Ko-fi, Patreon, or by joining Medium via a referral link.

16–30 April 2023

Ahoy, Fiction Frenzy crew!

Two weeks have passed. Suddenly, it is spring, and we are already at our reading list №7.

Spring is the season of change, and we have a major change for Fiction Frenzy. Since the merger of Web Novel Reviews and Creative Writing 101, Fiction Frenzy will be hosted on the new publication, The Fiction Writer’s Den.

Enjoy the readings!

Rules Reminder

The group will feature one biweekly story from each group member but exclusively fiction. As before, I will exclude NSFW (not suitable for work).

Group members should read each others’ stories and give a meaningful COMMENT (updated).

Please, give your fellow writers 50 claps and consider highlighting the most exciting parts to appease the almighty algorithm.

Unless you wish otherwise, I will continue with your serial fiction promoted during the last two rounds.

I love supporting the fiction writer community with projects like this one. You can support my back by tipping me on Ko-fi or backing this storyline through my Patreon. You can also (re-) join Medium with my referral link. It is only a small payment for you, but a big step for humanity. (Pinky promise!)

If you join Medium with my referral link, you can enjoy all my fictional tales and those of other writers. Subscribe to my email list and never miss another fantastic story!
