 "storySouth" was one of the early journals of the online literature movement.Early on, "storySouth"'s influence in the publishing world was evidenced by a feature interview with Jason Sanford in the 2005 "Novel and Short Story Writer's Market" in which the role of the Internet and the influence of the Million Writers Award was featured.Part of the growing influence of "storySouth" has been the sometimes combative nature of its editors.
