Lauren Smith Welcome to the Short Story Challenge!

This is a year long challenge, beginning on 1 January 2014 and ending on 31 December 2014. You can use any short story that you finish reading in 2014.

You get 1 point for every story read and I'll tally the points at the end of the year.

To qualify for this challenge, stories must be less than 150 pages (so technically short stories and novellas), which means you get to use all those books that aren't long enough to qualify for other challenges.

Good luck, and happy reading!

Lauren Smith Just a note, especially for new participants - please keep track of whatever you've read, either by numbering them (as in my post or Jennifer's), or keeping a total that you update regularly. I'm keeping a list of scores in the first post that I'll update every now and then. You don't have to do a new update post every time your score changes; I just go through the posts and update the scores according to what you've listed, but only if they're clearly numbered or tallied.
