On January 2, 2012, we're going to publish our 500th original piece of fiction.

We thought it would be fun, in honor of that impending milestone, to ask y'all to tell us about your favorite SH stories.

If you need a reminder of what we've published, stop by our fiction archives. (There are 600+ items in the archives, but that's counting multi-part stories as separate items, and it includes reprints and introductions to reprints.) If you're looking for particular kinds of fiction, use the category menu to restrict the view.

You may also find our awards pages helpful as a reminder of some of what we've published.

We invite you to post about your favorites. You can just list titles, or you can say what you liked about them. You can post comments on this blog entry, or you can tweet (we're using the hashtag #SH500) or post to your own blogs or Facebook or Google+ or wherever.

If you post elsewhere, feel free to add a comment here linking to your post.

(We were inspired to ask people to list their favorites by a post from Dave Schwartz a couple months ago in which he mentioned three of his favorites. You don't have to list three, though; list as few or as many as you like.)
