Today, June 1, marks the kickoff of a week-long 3rd anniversary celebration of LongShortStories. We want you to join in the party fun and excitement.

Here’s just a sampling of what’s in store this week:

• Save money when you subscribe. For one week only, a One Year (30 stories) subscription has been slashed from $12 to just $5. Ignore what the Web site text says, since this special discounted price has been set up behind the scenes by my Web site guru Eugene Barnes. Two Year subscriptions (60 wonderful short stories) have been slashed from $20 to just $10 for this one-week LongShortStories anniversary.
• “Finish This Story” contest. Today, I will be posting an unfinished short story titled “OLD SCHOOL.” This unfinished piece has approximately 1350 words. Now all you creative folks out there can do your thing to finish it (total word count cannot exceed 2000 words) by adding your ending as a “comment” to the original post. At the end of our week-long celebration, LongShortStories will select the best story ending comment and award that lucky person a 30-story subscription, valued at $12.
• We hope to have some celebrities check in during the week. Please check back daily.
• For all you existing subscribers, LongShortStories will be awarding one 30 story extension to your existing subscription for the best review of your favorite story from the extensive LongShortStories collection (which now totals more than 70 great short stories and flash fiction pieces). Send me that review via e-mail!
• LongShortStories continues to look for the best new, unpublished (anywhere, including online) short stories in its LongShortStories Short Story Contests. Our prizes are fabulous. Consider submitting during this week’s celebration.
• Don’t forget our troops. Give the gift of reading to your favorite trooper. Send Wayne an e-mail with the name and e-mail address of your chosen recipient and we’ll help you get them their LongShortStories every 12 days via e-mail like clockwork! They’ll love it!

Let me take this opportunity to thank every single LongShortStories visitor and subscriber for your wonderful support. I am exceedingly grateful!

Now, let’s party!
