Hey guys! I'm new around here but have been a Palahniuk fan for years.

Just wanted to throw it out there that I have a little project called Citizen Literature, which you check out at www.citizen-literature.org

I just want to have a place on the web where people can have their stories available to the world for free, without having to pay anything, or compromise their identity, but without the hassle of setting up a blog or publishing content frequently.

I'd love to get some submissions and launch the site soon! Head on over.

They have an engaging conversation about the world economy because they are both educated on such matters. Richard Dawkins walks in with a pack of savage scientists, and yells: "I AM HERE TO HAVE AN ORGY OF SCIENTIFIC REASONING IN THE FACE OF YOUR QUAINT SUPERSTITIONS." The priest and the rabbi finish their drinks and quietly leave the bar as Richard Dawkins begins to masturbate." -Phil Jourdan

He's posted before. I think this would just go better in the Trades, Barters & Promotions part of the forum.

Woah guys I didn't mean it as spam. I haven't posted this message anywhere else or anything. I just made this project because a friend I know is a great writer, but doesn't want to make her own website and some of her stories are a little...outside of her parents' and bosses' comfort zones.

I mean it's a non-profit there's no reason for me to be spamming...just thought it'd be a cool outlet for anybody to have their stories available online.

Hmm. Looks like you are making the effort so thumbs up there! The site looks quite snazzy.

It's a bit of a weird one though, not sure how many people would go in for the whole anonymous author affair. Pen names I suppose, I've seen a few of those being used online. Pretty sure 99% of people who try and pubish stuff on the net are happy to put their name alongside it.

Still, hope the site takes off. Why the hell not?

@voodoo thanks man! People can be credited however they want, so they can use their real names or pen names or just as "anonymous". My whole point wasn't necessarily to make everyone anonymous, but to offer an outlet where they can be if they like. Spread the word!
