Self explanatory really. I have a bunch of trash short stories and I wanna put them somewhere. Are there any good places to dump a short story in?

If it was me, I'd just pretend to be a for realsies serious author and post a collection or anthology. There's no reason that your "chapters" can't be independent stories.

Compile it into an Anthology. It would be a nice addition to SH's collection of fictions. 👍

Yeah, I have a collection of short stories of my own, named "Drabbles and One Shots" and tagged as "short story collection". That's what the tag is there for.
There's a tag like that? Nice

Just dump em into an anthology OR post em every once in a while to artificially boost your portfolio to make it look more "wide" and "interesting".

Are porn shorts allowed? If yes I might need to consider to put some of my works in literotica shorts in.

Maybe? The rules say explicitly "no smut" but my reading is that PWP (porn without plot) should be avoided. As long as your stories have an actual plot that isn't just an excuse to titillate the reader, I think you're good.

(Though I might be mistaken. Best if you clear this with the mods and admins beforehand.)

Yes! Fake it until you make it!

Yep! If you have a plot, you're golden :s_wink:
