What if there was some way to get all those writers to make stories about the things I want?

Short stories, probably not going to be more than a thousand words on their own, nothing gory or mature please.

I've got the whole day off so I'll try to knock off 10 of these today.

The delightful Hexatona, AKA, ARandomAudioBookAppeared, has created an audiobook version of Siren Song!
