SFFS - 3 May 2014

Welcome to this week's round of SFFS snippets. Sign up, and then enjoy the read on Saturday!

Be sure to read the rules thoroughly.

Please ensure that you do the following:

1. Have the blog post live by 12:05 AM Central (US) Time. Work it out if you're in a different time zone.

2. Make the SFFS blog post clearly identifiable to readers (e.g. use "SFFS" in the heading, or some variant). It is preferable that the link you post to this list leads directly to the blog post, so that readers do not have to play 'hunt-the-snippet'.

3. Do not post anything else on your blog for at least 24 hours after posting the SFFS blog post.

4. Keep the snippet's length below fifteen sentences. Any snippets found to be blatantly over this limit will be summarily removed from the week's list (no email warning or requests to shorten).

5. If your excerpt comes from a book available online, be sure to provide a link within your snippet. If it's from a WIP, make sure to let us know what other books it may be related to, or any other titles you might have available.

Please note, the twitter hashtag is #sffsat.
