Short Story Lovers and LongFic are sister brands under Lutiv Publishing Co., which has been publishing engaging stories since 2011. While Short Story Lovers focuses on bite-sized, one-shot stories that can be read in a single sitting, LongFic is dedicated to immersive, multi-chapter stories told across several episodes. LongFic also introduces a chapter-unlocking system using coins, allowing readers to enjoy stories at their own pace while directly supporting authors with every unlock.

On LongFic, you'll find a handpicked collection of engaging, multi-chapter stories that span popular genres like romance, drama, suspense, fantasy, and more. Each story is chosen for its quality, originality, and reader appeal—so you can expect gripping plots, emotional depth, and strong storytelling.

Many stories on LongFic are completely free to read. For premium stories, the first few chapters are available for free so readers can try them out before committing.
