Info -- What is this? This is 'De-Flux Stories', a De-Flux project. De-Flux Stories is a place where people can freely publish short stories and other compact fiction for other people to read. De-Flux Stories is also like a phoenix risen from the ashes of Catatonics. Call it a reincarnation. And, like with most reincarnations, there are both similarities and differences between the two. How to publish? If you've written a short story, either in English or Dutch, and would like to publish it on De-Flux Stories, you can simply do so by mailing the story and some details to stories (at) de-flux.org. The details I need are: -Your name (or nickname) -The email address you want me to ad, if any -The URL of your website, if it has anything to do with literature. -The year your story was written -The title of your story Please send me your story in 'plain-text' format. NOT MsWord. How does this website work? Explanation of the buttons...

Catatonics was, like De-Flux Stories, a place where people could publish short stories. The writings published on Catatonics however were more diverse, with a seperated 'Poems' section and columns by myself and other people. Catatonics was founded back in 1999 and kindly hosted for two years by the Digital City Foundation (www.dds.nl). In 2001 however the Digital City Foundation decided to go commercial and there was no longer room for non-profit websites like Catatonics. In two years Catatonics pulled more than 2000 visitors from all over the world. I hope some of the spirit of Catatonics lives on in De-Flux Stories and, of course, De-Flux.org.
