I sold a short story! Post Reply with Quote Edit/Delete Post Report Post to a Moderator        IP Information Go to the top of this page

Today, I received an acceptance letter from a publication that said they *loved* my short story (flash fiction) and wanted to publish it. It doesn't pay much but I am beyond excited! I've had some success with poetry but this is my first real fiction sale. If I remember, I'll post a link here when it goes up. Smile

That's great Julie! What exactly is flash fiction? I've not heard that term.

Thanks, gals! Smile

Becky, flash fiction is just another term for the shorter short stories. Your mileage may vary - it's defined differently by different publications. But roughly around 500 words - longer than a 100-word drabble, shorter than a short story.

I also like to write microfiction - there's a 25-word contest going on over at Hint Fiction. I haven't submitted to that one yet. But I did enter a tweet-sized short story in Nanoism's recent contest.

I thought flash fiction as a gif flash images with some texts. So I visited your blog to see it then I saw an interesting post and left a comment.



I was playing stone,paper and scissors with my reflection in the mirror. I've lost and she smiles ear to ear literally.

Could it be a microfiction?

Thanks, gals. I read a lot of papers about the mating habits of voles as an undergrad - those in harsh climates pair-bonded, those in easier living environments did not - and I guess it stuck with me.
