About the Fly Paper

About the authors, the stories, and how the blog came about.


Maybe we're too nice. Maybe it's where we work, or where we spend our time. I'd say it's our hobbies, but we don't run into them there very often. Maybe it's a sixth sense. Except we don't see dead people, we see awkward people. We're like Field of Dreams: "If you build it, they will come." Like flies to honey... Or fly paper.

What were we to do with these encounters? Live them with no commentary? Hold on to them, only used for cocktail anecdotes or bad date ice breakers? 

Or share them with the online community, so others could find amusement in our unfortunate encounters?

The answer was easy.



AM: bookworm. crafter. animal lover. self-professed nerd. a knack for storytelling that comes and goes. and fly paper. always fly paper.

BW: fangirl. reader. author. fact-finder. the one with the writing skills. and fly paper. always fly paper.
