Free SF/F/H Fiction for 4/18/2012

Included this week: A study in contrasts. Nancy Fulda posts her Hugo-nominated short story, “Movement”, on her website, while I include a link to my short story about gnome-on-girl action, which a recent reviewer called “surprisingly good”. 🙂

Thanks to the Two Johns for some great Free Fiction tips over the past few posts.
