The SFT Curates 10/1/17

The SFT is back with two wonderful stories--a jazzy little tale that will make you want to do a quick load of laundry, and a chilling look at the future of arranged marriages. We hope you enjoy!

WHAT MADE THESE STORIES STAND OUT TO US?

We chose these selections because they are tightly written, well-edited, and show creative innovation. The authors were willing to work hard to get the technicals aspects right, as well as the storytelling mechanics. The authors gladly agreed to accept a reduced reward to allow our wallet recovery time after a recent strain. These stories are also past payout, which means readers should not upvote them. Yet they are extemely worthy of a place in the SFT Library, as well as whatever recognition for the author our curation will bring. Please consider upvoting a current post on their blog if you enjoy these wonderful pieces of fiction.

These curated stories will appear today in the SFT Library.
