Welcome
This website is by a writer, for writers. It is about improving as a storyteller and writer, and teaching others to do the same. It is also about readers—because without readers there is no need for writers. And this website is about the promotion of anthrofiction as a genre. Of course we need a definition of anthrofiction.
Anthrofiction Network is family friendly. There is nothing here stronger than the equivalent of PG-13, and some stories may be suitable for young people.

News
Today: 2009-Jan-03
I’m shifting the quarterly schedule.
Previously I wanted the entry period to close October 31 to accommodate NaNoWriMo, but this quarter had a very late start and the entry period didn’t close until December 7. This seemed to work better for NaNo participants. So rather than try to squeeze out a month and a week from the next four quarters to get back on the old schedule, I’ll be keeping the new schedule of closing a period on the 7th and opening the next period on the 8th with two months for each entry and one month for each judging period.
What this means is the judging deadline for this quarter has changed from January 4 (four weeks to judge) to January 7 (one month to judge).
I’m also renaming the quarters. The next quarter will start January 8 (open of the entry period), close April 7 (close of the judging period), and be called the spring quarter.
The Contest
The first method I’m using to accomplish my goals for this site is to hold a quarterly writing contest. The current contest is:
Short Story Contest, Fall 2008
The contest judging period is upon us.
The authors have worked very hard on their creations and would like you to read through them, score the stories, and give feedback. Go to the main short story contest page for a list of the stories for this season, and links to the theme and the rules.
Please read as many stories as you can and fill in a ballot for each story you read. Stories can be read online, or you may download printable files of each story and read them away from your computer. Try not to forget; the last day of this contest’s judging period is 2009-Jan-07.
Printable files are in Adobe Acrobat Reader format (pdf). If you don’t have it, you can download Acrobat Reader here.
The authors and I thank you for your time and attention.
Time on this website is Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and the current date and time are 2009-01-07 08:39:03.
History
I had been dreaming of creating a website for authors of anthrofiction to grow and improve, but didn’t do anything with that dream until Nathan Ryan was forced to cancel his anthro-story writing contest mid-season. Read more about the history of this website.
Finally…
At the bottom of every page is a contact me link. I’ve worked hard to make this site smooth running and robust, but the site is still new and it is not all here. If you see anything you feel needs attention, or wish to make some comment about the site, feel free to send me a message.
Thank you.
