A common type of [[Prose Fiction]] and a good way for new authors to start out. '''Short stories''' are any stories that run up to 7,500 words in length, though some definitions place them as long as 20,000. Due to the discrepancy, short stories can overlap with the [[Novella]] and the [[Novelette]] but are usually categorized separately.
Short stories are usually published in magazines and, more rarely, collections. There is a large [[Pulp Magazine]] industry that is much easier to break into than the book industry, which makes it a good place for a new writer to build up a resume. And a good place to stage [[Old Shame]].

''[[Pseudopod|Pseudopod.org]]'' makes a job of publishing audio version of short stories.
