I read an article a while ago, suggesting that if you have a walk-on part using someone called ‘Steve’, change his name to ‘Sanjay’ and leave it at that. i.e. doing just what Steve did with Steve’s joys and…[Read more]

Just having a mooch around and see there’s a new short story challenge on the go. But I can’t see anything about it. Only the first few lines of comments and a members’ list.
