If you pay frequent visits to the HubPages blog, you will know very well that we have been regularly sharing new installments in three different podcast series: Fascinating Fiction: A series dedicated to the reading of short fiction Hubs The Online Writing Insider: A series sharing tips and advice for the modern online writer Weekly…
Read MoreThe Snow Princess
One of the fun things about writing fiction on HubPages is that the process can become deliciously interactive. In addition to getting feedback on your work, you may also get new ideas, suggestions, tips, and even challenges! The latter was the case when it came to the creation of The Snow Princess: A Short Story…
Read MoreTheodore Shade
Though known primarily for his Emerland Wells Cafe series on HubPages (which has already been featured in the Fascinating Fiction podcast series), mckbirdbks also writes the occasional stand-alone short story. One of these is Theodore Shade- a somewhat dark vignette that builds up an impressive amount of tension. Have a listen! If you don’t have time…
Read MoreRevenge of the Glowing Green Cats
What happens when electron-genetic-construct experiments go terribly, terribly wrong? Paradigmsearch explored this very potentiality in Revenge of the Glowing Green Cats, a short but highly amusing Hub. It was pretty fun to record the podcast version of this short story. Listen in if you’re on the go! Big props to paradigmsearch for turning a somewhat newsy…
Read MoreWhy the Zebra Has Stripes
Creation stories, ‘why’ stories, and origins stories are great fun, which is most likely why Truckstop Sally created a series of them on HubPages. This week, we’re featuring a particularly popular edition of her ‘why’ series – Why the Zebra Has Stripes. This short, fun, playful, and poignant story is sure to entertain. Big thanks…
Read MoreOnce Upon a Childhood: Pirate Gold
I’m a sucker for short, funny stories, so when Hyphenbird shared Once Upon a Childhood: Pirate’s Gold with me, I knew we had to make a podcast of it! Though she created her own fantastic recording, some technical glitches have prevented me from using it for the time being, so this week’s Fascinating Fiction podcast…
Read MoreThe Family Secrets – Chapter 8
Most of our Fascinating Fiction podcasts are just short stories, but from time to time, it’s hard to leave out snippets of longer series. That is definitely the case with today’s podcast, The Family Secrets – Chapter 8, which is one chapter of a 40-part series by Joseph Owens (Dobson on HubPages). If you like this…
Read MoreFunny Business: The Rodent
This week’s Fascinating Fiction podcast is by a new Hubber. In fact, Funny Business: The Rodent, a humorous story about the Acme Newsletter (and survival!), is only mollymeadows‘ third Hub. I hope you enjoy the recorded version of the story, and I encourage you check out mollymeadows‘ other fun Hubs, too. It is quite exciting…
Read MoreColors of the Mind
Today’s Fascinating Fiction podcast is read by the author. This is always a fun opportunity, since we rarely get to hear HubPages authors read their work in their own voices! In this podcast, Morten Rand (Fiction Factory on HubPages) reads Colors of the Mind, a story exploring moods, colors, and gatherings in which people display their…
Read MoreEnemy Hearts
Rarely do I read things online that prompt me to make audible reactions, when something I’m reading does cause me to make noise, said noise is typically laughter. Enemy Hearts by Taressa Klays is one of the very unusual Hubs out our site that has made me actually yell out in alarm- in a good…
