Be sure and let us know if you place a story somewhere or come across a story you come across that you would like to point us to. I'm always hungry for a good flash fiction read. :-)J.Alphahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09381169864562738011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25972032.post-82369570760880724372008-06-14T17:04:00.000-05:002008-06-14T17:04:00.000-05:00Flash fiction is a totally new concept to me but I...Flash fiction is a totally new concept to me but I am glad the introduction came in its very understandable form, from you.<BR/><BR/>Congrats on all.<BR/><BR/>--JannieJannie Funsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11595786402510366043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25972032.post-86886835355326724592008-03-20T17:13:00.000-05:002008-03-20T17:13:00.000-05:00I've enjoyed your blog!I'm also working as a flash...I've enjoyed your blog!<BR/><BR/>I'm also working as a flash fiction editor, and see the same problems you describe.<BR/><BR/>It's interesting that the genre we have published the least of is the very genre that most of our editors gravitate toward--speculative fiction. <BR/><BR/>As hard as it is to write flash well, it's a tremendous challenge, apparently, to write speculative flash fiction well.<BR/><BR/>We would LOVE to see a great horror or sci-fi flash, but it has yet to come down the pike.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with your editing. I'm finding it immeasurably enjoyable.Suzanne Vincenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10100432727581386694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25972032.post-5909180290545967692008-02-01T20:00:00.000-05:002008-02-01T20:00:00.000-05:00Hi Janet,I couldn't find a guestbook or anything o...Hi Janet,<BR/>I couldn't find a guestbook or anything on this website.

Yours is the first description that makes sense to me and makes me feel I might understand, finally! Having said that, I wonder if you might also provide any links to good examples of flash fiction available to be read freely on the net? I'd sincerely appreciate reading some. Thanks :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25972032.post-43767210831089177142007-12-17T16:25:00.000-05:002007-12-17T16:25:00.000-05:00You�re right, Bunnygirl!

I've been experimenting with flash fiction for several months as a way to train myself to make every word count. <BR/><BR/>For those of us who simply are NOT poets, even amateurish dabbles in the flash format can help us learn to strip a story of fluff and leave only the essentials.<BR/><BR/>I wonder if a lot of what you're seeing in your slush pile is from people who haven't yet acquired much skill at any length and are under the illusion that short=easy.<BR/><BR/>If anything, it's harder!Ann (bunnygirl)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04938134750150653386noreply@blogger.com
