I'm glad I found this site (don't know how I missed it so long). I read all sorts of things, so I am looking forward to diving into MANY of these stories... I also write. I recently had my second novel published, but most of my many years of writing have been in the non-fiction world. I have written a couple thousand (at least!) articles and features for newspapers, travel magazines, newsletters and even several comic books and a graphic novel. FantasyReaders.com is a Website I set up in 2002: http://www.FantasyReaders.com FantasyReaders On Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/fantasyREADERScom/178311325576954 Everything on the site is free: fantasy, sci-fi and horror stories, and even illustrated and interactive game books! An excerpt of my latest (fantasy) novel can be read on Amazon, here: http://www.amazon.com/Goblin-Invasion-Book-Lands/dp/1554048893/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1343042432&sr=1-3&keywords=the+goblin+invasion (Available on iTunes and other Online retailers as well, of course!) Recently Published Short Fiction (paperback): Three short stories published in Zharmae's Ends Of Man contest as 2012 contest winners (entered three - was happily surprised they all were picked). There are quite a few very interesting stories in that one from writers all over the world ... check it out. (From Ends Of Man Anthology): Daniel F. De Bono is a professional writer with more than twenty years experience and literally hundreds of publishing credits, both fiction and non-fiction. A versatile and eloquently imaginative writer, he has also published fiction under the name Gareth Blackmore. Born and educated in Michigan, he now resides in Florida with his wife, Melissa, and son, Zachary.

I'd like to know which fantasy books I missed!: http://blog.wattpad.com/post/32820089090/my-seven-favorite-fantasy-novels-of-all-time
@FatherSonHolyGhost Looking forward to reading it - this weekend!
@JustMe8808 My pleasure!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR POSTING MY STORY ON YOUR LIST!!!!!
Hey, finally done with House Of Aragon!
@jdbtate I was thinking about a novel. FYI: The story is true - up to the killer lampreys! We dove that wreck in a crappy little boat when we were young (34 degrees at depth with wet suits - brrrr). I came across a lamprey on a salmon near the hold of the ship - that's where the idea came from (this one sort of wrote itself ...).
Totally digging Agnatha! Very Peter Benchley/Syfy Saturday feel to it. Any chance on expanding it a bit more?
@dlmackenzie I'll have to see what is up with that link. I think it may be interesting to possibly do a Wattpad section with links to the stories ...
BTW, the Facebook link button in your profile doesn't work, although the link you provided in the text below does. I don't write fantasy, but I'm curious on behalf of the fantasy writers here on Wattpad. Can they submit to FantasyReaders with only a Wattpad link, or would they still need to provide you a PDF file?
@DanDeBono Thanks for fanning! Be checking out your web page soon...
