Ironically he never actually went outside of a city his entire life, let alone Droving. phht. Henry Lawson was much more acurate, he didnt romanticise the Aussie bush.

Ah, so kind of like tv epidsodes... like soap operas? Razz

Yeah, i guess we could...

But if there are a lot of short "episodes" then they would go in the novels or novella section... so i guess what i am asking is, who thinks that they would use this new section? Please post here, just so that i can get an idea of if it would be well used...

Is the soap opera type thing what you meant Aurora... like little pieces that make up a story, and intertwine...?

sort of, like yeah, newspaper stories and stuff, they have to be exciting throughout each peice, but when you put them together you get a novel in which alot has happened. like weekly installments, sort of like what dickens did, its different i think to novellas because each installment has to be jam packed full of stuff, keeping the interest going, rather than just posting chapters, you post whole short stories around 1000 words at the most each time you install.
