Short Stories
In 2009, Fforde published a story in the Welsh edition of the UK Big Issue magazine (a magazine distributed by the homeless) called "We are all alike" (previously called "The Man with no face"). He also published "The Locked Room Mystery mystery" in the UK Guardian newspaper in 2007, and this story remains online. The U.S. version of Well of Lost Plots features a bonus chapter (34a) called "Heavy Weather", a complete story in itself, featuring Thursday Next in her position as Bellman.

Famous quotes containing the words short and/or stories:
“He had long before indulged most unfavourable sentiments of our fellow-subjects in America. For, as early as 1769,... he had said of them, “Sir, they are a race of convicts, and ought to be thankful for any thing we allow them short of hanging.””
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“Long before I wrote stories, I listened for stories. Listening for them is something more acute than listening to them. I suppose it’s an early form of participation in what goes on. Listening children know stories are there. When their elders sit and begin, children are just waiting and hoping for one to come out, like a mouse from its hole.”
—Eudora Welty (b. 1909)
