About One More Short Story- with Chris Fulwell

One More Short Story is a compact audiobook-style podcast built around fiction from Writing Battle. The format is simple, but it has a clear personality. Chris Fulwell introduces each story with the kind of context writers actually care about: genre, prompt, class, narrator, placement, and the odd little surprise of how a piece performed. Then the narration begins. Some episodes lean into formal Writing Battle classes, including Artificer sci-fi, Warlock horror and suspense, Bard comedy, Rogue mystery, and Cleric stories of love, friendship, and heartfelt bonds. Others gather pieces under looser themes, such as love gone sideways or characters fighting back. The range is wide. One episode can feature a sentimental dog story, a cat arcade fantasy, a trapped-overachiever horror premise, a space farce, or a mystery with grief folded into it. The show does not flatten those differences into one house style. It lets the writers and narrators carry the mood, then steps back in with a warm, slightly rambling response. That response is part of the appeal. Fulwell talks about what felt funny, eerie, memorable, technically sharp, or unexpectedly moving, while keeping the conversation accessible for people who may not know Writing Battle yet. The show also treats the competition community as part of the story's life. Debrief comments, wins, final placements, and narrator contributions are not side notes; they are part of how these stories circulate. There is plenty of genre pleasure here. There is also a steady interest in craft, resilience, and what it feels like to submit something personal to other readers. The episodes are especially good for listeners who want short fiction without a heavy literary gate around it. They are also useful for writers who enjoy hearing how prompts can become polished, surprising, emotionally specific pieces. It is friendly, modest, and story-first. Even when the material turns dark, strange, or sharp-edged, the frame stays humane.

Made for: For short-fiction listeners, Writing Battle participants, and writers who enjoy hearing how prompts become finished stories. It also fits anyone who wants genre variety without committing to a full-length audiobook.

What sets it apart: The show surrounds each narrated story with competition context, prompt details, narrator credit, and post-story reaction. That makes it feel less like a generic fiction feed and more like listening in on a generous writing-community debrief.
