Been playing with it for a short while, most of them seem to be writing about love and loss. Is it just me? or is there really a trend here? would love to hear some usage insights if it could be made public?
@dhanan Most of the female writers, write about love, romance and relationship. And male writers write about horror, war, soldier/warrior stories. This is the current Trend.
@dhanan Feel Free to ask more questions if you have any.

I love writing very short stories in my free time. Hope you know the Twitter account Very Short Story (https://twitter.com/VeryShortStory). I love reading stories there. I have a question. Why you guys stick on to 250 characters. Not a tweet length or a 1000 characters. Any particular reason?
@veryshorttale About 1000 char: We are focusing on mobile devices right now. 1000 char is too length on mobile devices. About Tweet length: We discuss with few of our early stage writers regarding the length. From their input we stick on to 250, because they can write a story 250 (which is almost twice the tweet length) and they need to find the correct word that fit the meaning + in the 250 limit. (feedback from few of our writer.)

@aby002 I don't think reading a 1000 character story is that difficult on a mobile device. I can't agree that with you. Finding the correct words that fit for the story and in 250 characters is a challenging part. I too like that. That's the main reason why I love micro size stories.
@veryshorttale Sorry Tony. It was not about reading a 1000 char story. It was about writing a 1000 char story on mobile device. Most of them are writing stories while they are traveling (to office, school). So its hard for them to write a 1000 char story on mobile devices. And happy to hear that you too like the challenging part of finding the correct word that fit the contest + the char limit.
This is brilliant. Between 2010 to 2012, I ran a college start-up named thewittyshit.com which crowdsourced witty one-liners. Got great traction and eventually exited prematurely, because of some personal reasons. TaleHunt could be quite promising, becoming something like Behance for content. Could be a handy tool for HR managers looking to hire/reach out creative writers.
An out of the blue suggestion: Focus on more of the witty tales, if possible, because it makes for an interesting read (thus virality) and also allows smartphone users to showcase their smartness.
@harshsnehanshu That's a cool suggestion Harsh. Witty tales & smartness from smartphone users. We got early stage traction and our users are recurring users. I was not able to find more details about thewittyshit.com (only FB page). I would like to more about the same.
@harshsnehanshu Yep. I was reading your article in YourStory too. Which is the best way I can chat with you more regarding the same? FB or Twitter DM??
@nipponese, Right now the password field is not paste-enabled, we will look into it as there might be other users also who use similar apps for password. Thank you for the suggestion. (Y)
Thanks @blaurenceclark !
