About
Stories told the old way
It started with a father and a son on a long car ride — playlists thinning out, the sky going purple, a pair of blue worn shoes up on the dash. Somewhere between the gas stations we were halfway into a story neither of us wanted to stop telling.
BlueWornShoe is where those stories live now, alongside the people who've joined us at the fire. Serials arrive a chapter at a time; one-shots are told in a single sitting. Fantasy, science fiction, westerns, and the odd tale best told with the lights low.
How it works
Readers
Read anything in the library. Sign in to follow stories, get a notice for each new chapter, keep your place, and leave feedback — with a rating — once you've finished a chapter.
Authors
Apply with a writing sample. Approved authors get a studio to draft serials or one-shots, save versions, trade notes with co-authors and beta readers, and submit work when it's ready.
Admins
Keep the shelves in order: publish or unpublish submitted work, make sure chapters are titled and ordered correctly, review reader feedback, and look after reader and author accounts. Admins never rewrite anyone's story.
