Command Posts is now added to the SWJ blogroll.

CommandPosts.com was launched on October 5th, 2010 as a site for the authors of St. Martin's Press to comment on military news, history, and relevant fiction. The editors of CommandPosts bring readers interviews, excerpts, original commentary for a wide range of authors; from honored veterans and award-winning historians to bestselling novelists.

It is the intention of Command Posts to foster a community that will engage the audience and provide a location rich in rational discourse and commentary, and find creative ways to support the military community. Please share your thoughts about posts you've enjoyed, suggestions for topics you'd like to see covered, and comments about the site in general.

What a great idea. It's a sharp looking website. I like the fiction suggestions.

SMITH magazine has an online website that is "the home of Six-Word Memoirs and a vibrant community of storytellers. Explore story projects, write your story & share it with friends." It's a popular place where anybody start an account and submit short stories and memoirs (really short - like six word memoirs!) Periodically, SMITH magazine will publish selected shorts in book form.

Anyway, I've often thought that a military-themed version of what SMITH magazine is doing would be an interesting project.

(disclosure: I've had a six-word "memoir" selected for one of their books, but have no other affiliation with SMITH magazine.)
