Well, actually, although I'm really excited about la pexkerf .e le ci
cribe being accessible to beginners, it's grammar is not overly simple.
And it will likely end up being the easiest/shortest piece of the
collection.

The idea is to collect a good selection of lojbanic prose, original
wherever possible, rather than to have an introductory reader. I will
probably extract the vocabulary from every piece, though, as I find
constantly having to look unexpected words up to be very annoying.

A rough extimate for the size of a piece is 10000 words (very rough) -
how short is your short story going to be?
