what i learned about publishing short stories online in 2025
This is what I learned about publishing short stories online in 2025: worth doing if you get the chance but don't be too critical of yourself if you can't. Fun as a low cost hobby but remember to keep your expectations realistic. All the websites you're thinking of posting to are either unethical or expensive or user unfriendly so just try and pick the least bad one. As you progress through 2025 your life might change around you. Just try to keep posting short stories online. You can write ideas down in your notes app on your phone. You might spend a fair bit of time looking at the sentence "Superhero whose power is luck" and trying to make it work but there's probably no way to do it that doesn't feel gimmicky. All you really need is three good sentences but you really do need them. If you're publishing short stories online and you have less than three really good sentences your story probably won't work out. Even if every part of the short story you're publishing online is dissonant there should still be a melody between those parts. You can probably also ignore the one that says "Macguffin world", unless you get really crazy with it. And most importantly, have fun

new story up now. it's called FIRST OF JUNE and it's about what happens when a company that freezes your body closes down. sort of infinitegossip.ghost.io/first-of-june/
An image of a 4-tonne truck. excerpt of a story called "FIRST OF JUNE", by max lavergne. it reads: In April the CEO and CFO were arrested and the liquidators moved in to recover what they could, which was only a little, here and there, since the huge debts the company had run up were against a theoretical market value plus a little capital, both of which by then had long since soaked into a beautifully complex ecosystem of shell companies and trusts. In May the company's property holdings, laboratory equipment and freezer network were auctioned off, and as the first of June arrived a fixer from the liquidators showed up at my door and asked for 10 minutes of my time. It was as hot as Hades outside. "Sure, sure," I said. He stood in my kitchen with a glass of chilled water and looked uncomfortable. A weird-looking guy with a thick neck and a thin head, a flabby crease running down the centre of his throat and pill-shaped transition lenses, with thin, spiky hair and a hairline that left only an inch-wide band of clammy skin on his forehead before reasserting itself vigorously in a thick monobrow. "What can I help you with?" I asked him. He fidgeted with his glass. "You're aware that the company has been liquidated," he coughed. I was. "Right, right," he said. "So you've probably wondering what everyone's been wondering, which is what's going to happen to all the bodies." "Not really," I said. "They, uh, all got rehomed. With other cryo companies." He squinted at me. "Right," he said. "That didn't happen. That was the statement, yes. Do you know that didn't happen?" I just looked at him. "That was for the announcement. Do you understand what I'm telling you? Are you following me?" The full text is available at https://infinitegossip.ghost.io/first-of-june/
