> > Well then here's a question back at you: if we did such a site, would you be willing to submit your own works? The ones you're most embarrassed to admit to writing? One of the ideas I thought of that could make a site like this work would be if it had a "reader submission" area, where writers could submit their own early, unpublishable embarrassments. (I second guessed myself, of course, because I can't imagine how many such people would be out there and willing to go along with it.) If you were willing, I'd be more inclined to get going on the project myself. :-)

> I would be willing, if you are willing to cringe when reading them! I'd have to track down the books/journals they were published in first. These were horrible enough that I never kept my own copies of the work -- and they date from an age when everyone submitted work in longhand, since xerox machines for use by students and word-text processors did not yet exist.

well, the only real "old stories" I have are the ones from kindergarten that i dictated to my mom... they're actually kinda cute, although they aren't half as good without the pictures i drew... but i don't know that those are exactly the kind of thing you would be looking for in reader submissions... if they were though, i'd probably be willing to submit some of those
