First off, I just want to thank everyone who participated–I’m so happy to have so many brilliant stories hosted on my website! It is an honor to house the excellent works of the talented writers who played a part in this event. And those gifted individuals are…
Jason Cantrell, “Crying“
Larry Kollar, “Matchmaker for the Dead“
Joshua Paquin, “Ghost of the Snow“
Mikaila Manesh, “Dancing Dust“
C.L. Raven, “Memento Mori“
Elise Valente, “Souleaters“
Danica Rice, “Dorm Ghosts“
Chere Snow, “Unsettled“
Michael Woods, “Cemetery Dance“
J. Luis Licea, “Broken Journey“
You guys all did an incredible job and I was so impressed by the awesomeness of the stories that were churned out for this thing. Such epicness.
Secondly…wow that was fun! I truly did not expect to have such a good time, but it was a ton of fun! We had to write stories under 1,000 words, and that was a huge challenge for me and my Tolstoyian sensibilities. The result, my story “Stay, Illusion…” is something I ended up being shockingly pleased with (UPDATE: others seem to agree, as a sequel was demanded).
And lastly, I am definitely going to have to do another one of these. If anyone else is hosting a Flash Fiction event, please let me know, because I would love to participate! And soon, I promise there will be a second event (with a new challenge!) so if you missed this one, fear not! You’ll get your chance
Thank you, again, to everyone who wrote, everyone who read, and everyone who commented–you guys are the best!
