editor needed: too short

[infructescence]

I have three stories that I wrote a while ago and I would like to submit them, but they are all too short (574, 629, and 525 words). I enjoy writing shorter stories, and don't want to compromise my style, but I would like these to be at least long enough to submit here.

So, basically, I was wondering if an editor could read them (one or all of them or whatever) and give suggestions for lengthening them. Or maybe they could fit somehow in the poems section? Also, they need some general editing if you could to do that too.

Two are lesbian stories and one is a masturbation/toys story.

Thanks!~

Just a suggestion -- at Erotica Republic, where I also post, they don't seem to have a word limit, and also have a "flash fiction" section just for shorter stories.

You could put all lesbian stories together, for example, with a single title that fits. That would give you the word count and not change what you have.

Thanks for the help! I might try putting them together somehow..

Lynn, Isn't that exactly what Ogg did with his brilliant '50 worders'?

If high school taught me anything at all, it's that you can insert the word "very" or the word "really" ahead of any verb in your writing to satisfy the word-count criterion. If you're worried about preserving your style, then mix things up a bit. Keep your reader guessing over whether a "really" or a "very" will come next.

Try it. It really works! I think you'll be very, very satisfied with the results.

Yes. In fact, here's the link to his page. I scanned the stories and saw several of them.
