So far we’ve had six stories contributed to our Fictionaut group, all about this music box. Fictionaut community feedback hasn’t really anointed a clear champion — maybe you’d like to weigh in?

The stories (click the title to read) are:

• “In Small Packages,” by Sabra Wineteer
• “Mercy,” by Jennifer Howard
• “Music Box” by Marcy Dermansky
• “Valley Rugstore,” by Nicholas Rombes
• “Birthday Music,” by Lynn Chakoian
• “The Gift” by Sari Cunningham

I really enjoy reading multiple stories about the same object; interesting to see the different approaches different writers take. But since a big part of the point of dabbling in the world of Fictionaut is to be community-minded about things, I figured I’d see if our community — you, that is — has anything to say about these. (And I’m sure you won’t get troll-y on me, will you?)

Also I have more Fictionaut invites for anyone interested in joining up: rwalker@significantobjects.com.
