History[edit]
Every Day Fiction is notable for being one of the first online fiction magazines to abandon the print model that had been migrated onto the web by its contemporaries, and instead focus on a format in use by several major blogs--dynamic content published in high volume. A key component of the site has been its focus on social media, with readers being able to vote and comment on stories
The model proved to be popular, and in 2008 Lapp boasted that the site had "nearly 1,500 RSS and e-mail subscribers, averaging over 10,000 unique readers a month"[7].
