what is the threshold of a story?

th threshold of a story? hmmm, let's just pick it apart...shall we?\n\na threshold is a section in front of the interior section of an exterior door.  kinda of like a bumper or a mat on the floor.  Let's say in layman's terms it means an entry point.\n\nConverting that to a literary meaning, couldn't it be the entrance of the plot?  Or the real meaning of the plot?  That part of the story that draws you in and helps to support the protection of main theme?

Beginning, middle, end.  Or introduction, conflict, conclusion. Know your characters, and they will write the story for you.

Do you mean a single composition. If so it is simply Introduction, Conclusion and in between these, each paragraph must deall with one particular point.\n\nIf this is not your question come back to me.

What does your anthology contain?  Is there a common theme or pattern?\n\nWithout having that information it makes it quite hard to suggest anything.

3 to 5 pages depending on the book.

A few things to remember when developing a plot for a story.  \n\n1. Plot is about conflict.  I suppose the conflict here is about whether or not to propose?  If so, the whole conflict is summed up in the "gets Kevin to propose" part.  Make sure you play up this conflict or you have no story. \n\n2. Remember that all the characters are trying to resolve the conflict for their OWN ends.  Whey is Kevin going to marry a dying girl, and be branded an ex-husband and have a tougher time marrying another girl later?  Does he have concerns about it, even secretly to himself?  Why is Sara so keen on getting them married?  What does Sara want out of it?  Just to make Karen happy one last time?  What's Sara's relationship with Kevin?  Why is Karen wanting to get married?  Perhaps it'll help with medical insurance premiums?  (Yes, I know, that's pretty cold.  But perhaps it's a factor.  Your story.)\n\n3. Remember that getting married is very stressful.  No matter how much you love the other person, you're going to be nervous about whether or not you're making the right choice.  Knowing that the bride has a fatal disease is only going to make that doubt worse.  Play that up.  Both of them are likely to be terrified of getting married, under the circumstances.\n\n4. The plot as you have built here would be a great place for the use of dramatic irony.  Perhaps Kevin is considering calling off the wedding?  Perhaps he's uneasy about the idea of marrying a girl that he knows is going to die?  Perhaps he hates himeself for this, and can't make up his mind whether or not to say "I Do".  Will he decide to say yes or no at the last minute?  The tension can build all the way up the to the aisle, and just before the reader finds out what Kevin's final answer is, she dies.  \n\nThose are my ideas, take them or leave them.  Good luck.\nI'd love to see how your story turns out.  Feel free to e-mail it to me.

What kind of story do you want?  How short - like 200 words or 10,000 words?  On what subject?  Also what audience is the story for - should I include cultural references, sexual terms, violence?\n\nIf you give me guidlines I will be more than happy to write the story for you, if you are in a rush I could adapt a section of my novel (although my novel is copyrighted material so you would not be able to publish the short story).

Do your own homework.  They're both excellent stories... reading them will be enjoyable.  I'm partial to Bierce myself.

By "good" I am going to assume you mean well-written. You want this to draw in your readers so they can identify with or feel emotion towards your characters and the situations that they are in.\n\nYou want memorable characters so people don't forget them.
