Simily Gets Spooky
But the site is still basically dead
When I first discovered the creative-writing-focused site Simily, I wrote there. A lot. And I wrote about it. A lot.
But the site died. Or maybe it was never really alive.
Still, like a zombie still generating at least some cash for the founders, Simily made its way back.
Sort of.
The site is still WordPress-based.
Now, though, you have to jump through some hoops to become a member and only members can read.
The idea was to improve the quality of writing and reduce spam.
While I think the writing quality is better — in the sense that there are significantly fewer nonsense pieces simply angling for a few cents from reads — it’s not clear there’s much community.
In any case, when Simily sent an email promoting its Halloween Spooky Stories, I clicked. Just to take a look.
One of my stories — iSpy — is on the list.
