In your fictional world, what would your characters read to help them escape their cares for a while? Is humorous fiction known in your fictional world or is everything meant to be serious and educational? (Nothing wrong with the latter incidentally but it, to my mind, is a sad world when there can't be fiction which is simply fun - to read and write. Mind, that could be the point of your creation - it is a sad world, in which case the story is how did it get to that point?)
I write a wide range of flash fiction stories, amongst other things, and a significant amount of what I do here is on the lighthearted side. Yes, books and stories can tackle a wide range of issues (and should do too) but there should also be books and stories that are purely for entertainment/escapism. (We all need that after all).

AuthorI'm Allison Symes and I write novels, short stories as well as some scripts and poems. I love setting my work in my magical world, the Fairy Kingdom, and my favourite character is Eileen, who believes hypocrisy is something that happens to other people without caring that statement is hypocritical in itself! Eileen is huge fun to write for and about. Archives
