About
Fiction on the Web is a labour of love. Every single story on here is hand-picked and carefully copyedited by me. Any money I make from donations is ploughed back into the site and related projects. I do this because I want to give authors a chance to get their work out there, and I love sharing great stories with the world.
Fiction on the Web has been online and continuously publishing since July 1996, which makes it the oldest short stories website on the Internet. Thousands of stories have been enjoyed by millions of readers.

Charlie Fish, Editor-in-Chief
I am Charlie Fish - you can contact me at charlie@fictionontheweb.co.uk, and you can follow me on Twitter @fishcharlie. I once got stung by a lionfish. I've worked in a prison. I've travelled faster than the speed of sound. I have three passports. I write films, and once hung out with the guy who wrote Pirates of the Caribbean and Shrek. I'm a professional board gamer. I lost a bet with my wife over a game of Scrabble and had to get a tattoo. Those are my bookshelves in the banner above. I hold doors open for people, and always stop at red lights when cycling. OK, almost always.
