Welcome to Short Story Wars!
Welcome to my new website! I am really excited to present to you a new, playful way to read short stories! The idea came from my own family having fun creating the most unusual short stories that we could think of. Our normal dinnertime routine was dull and bland, consisting of casual conversation about school and work, along with background music. One night, I decided to create a short story with AI about my youngest daughter Hazel, who is 9. It was a hit! We made several that night, and the next night she asked for more. This went on for several weeks until I had the idea to use 2 different AI’s create a short story with the same criteria, and we would vote on which was best. Now we were getting 2 very funny short stories, and had a blast comparing and voting to see which was better.
This all lead me to an idea: what if I create a website where I post new, kid friendly short stories, along with funny pictures of the stories, and let you vote on them? Then a winner is declared every week. My love of writing, my creative ability as a guitar player, combined with my full time job as a web developer, all made sense to bring this project to life.
