An online repository and discussion hub for free, online and preferably short literature.

Avid reader? Got some time to spare? Using a mobile device? Want to try a new genre without having to spend any money or time? Pick a story and start reading right away! Or link to your favorite, as long as it's available online for anyone to read!

When submitting new stories, try to stick to the following format (whenever applicable):

Title - Author

Use Link Flair to specify your story's genre!

ONLY FULL/FREE STORIES

This means no links to bookstores, no "suggestions", no incomplete content (samples, first chapters, etc...). All that content can be posted over at r/books or other related subreddits.

Please use a [PDF] or [DL] tag in front of your submission title if the submission's content has to be downloaded and isn't actually readable on a browser.
