    Have you ever written fiction or Science Fiction to show your point?

    I do not mean falsehood or fake news. I mean actual fiction or Science Fiction.

    For instance I believe that everyone should have Fundamental Human Rights. I wrote a short story describing the capture of Igor Frankenstein -- a proverbial monster. I argue that even he should be treated humanely.

    Many authors and non-professional writers and bloggers describe their political ideas through Utopias and Anti-Utopias. Only a professional can write a book, but any blogger can write a short story.

    Before I die I'm going to write a book called "A creek, a log and a mouse".

    It's not fiction but I have the outline in my mind. It's still developing though.
    my junk is ugly

    I don't recall -- did he actually commit any crimes or just scare the bejesus out of people?

    You should post it here. Post it in sections. I would like to read it.

    As far as your question, I've thought about it but just haven't focused enough to do anything about it.

    I would hesitate to publish anything in any forum. The greatest threat would be for someone to steal work done by others.
    If you do, copy write and brand it, then publish it. There are online publishers that will actually pay your for your work, but be careful, Some of those on line publishers get first dibs on your work's first edition.

    I've written and submitted a couple of short stories and found out the hard way. So publish, but be careful and read the fine print.
    Also, be sure your piece grabs the attention of the reader in the first chapter/paragraph because that is where you work will be initially be judged.
    And stay away from formula writing.

    Good luck!

    I have started writing fiction in 2015 -- about 200 pages so far. About 3 long stories.
