Reader True Stories

Are you an amateur historian? Perhaps the story you wish to share is not personal, but you have a great story to share that you have fully researched and believe others might be interested in reading. This blog was developed with the idea that other writers might contribute their short stories to this collection. If you wish to write a short story for Papertown Station, get in touch! Together, we can make it happen. You will not be compensated for your story, but this blog might provide a platform outside of social media where you can share your work.

Thanks for following along!

My own true story...

After taking time off this past year for some incredibly interesting courses at UVic and Camosun, I have returned to my self-imposed task of finishing, editing, and proofing my stories before proceeding with the next 10,000 stories I have yet to write.

I appreciate your patience while I make changes to this blog and all of Papertown Station's Social Media pages.

Thanks for following along!

Update:

Do you have a history-based story and can't find a suitable platform to share it? We'd love to read it. This entire Papertown Station project is about reading and writing great short stories (a quest we are trying to achieve). We offer you this space to tell your story about any historical event you wish to share. It could be a love story, a story of an adventure, a disaster, a cherished moment, a lost pet, a difficult situation, your first memory, or a story passed down from your family's elders. Whatever it is, we would love to hear it.

Some simple guidelines:

1. Keep it under 300-500 words. The simpler, the better.

2. Include any related supporting proof (if you have any).

3. Ask permission from anyone who appears in any photos being uploaded.

4. For public safety, avoid using full names and initials or first names only. Consider using fake names.
