Flash Fiction Chronicles News:

Today launches String-of-10 TWO week. Today at Flash Fiction Chronicles we feature an interview with Sharon E. Trotter, last August’s first place winner with her story “The Haircut.”

Here’s our interview with her: Catching up with Sharon E. Trotter, August 2009 String Winner « Flash Fiction Chronicles

Next week, we publish John Towler’s “Gypsy Flour” and Brittany Soder’s “Good Morning, Susan” along with interviews with the second place Towler and third place Soder.

On Friday, Every Day Fiction will publish Ann Pino’s “Salvation” and we at Flash Fiction Chronicles will carry an interview with Ms. Pino.

In the following weeks, we’ll feature another String interview with Joel Willans, guest judge of the February competiton as well as an interview with Gaius Coffey, author of the Top Read story at Every Day Fiction for March.

Personal News:

I have a new story up at Short Story America: “Wounded Moon.” It’s so cool how they do it. It’s like it’s own little book. You may have to join in order to read it, but probably not.

This story was short-listed in the Fish Short Story Contest in 2008 so you might like it. Find it here. http://bit.ly/woundmoon

Other recent pieces include:

I’ve posted a way to keep track of stories and subs over at Flash Fiction Chronicles. However, it’s one of those iffy propositions. I may not be the right person to actually make recommedations.

I also wanted to let people know that the resolution of the String-of-10 TWO Contest is approaching (the climax being the announcement of the winners. I feel a blog post about three-act structures coming on—be gone be gone!!!)

Here’s how things should unfold:

Friday April 9 or April 19th

Interview with Guest Judge Joel Willans by
new FFC assistant editor, Tanya Schofield

Monday April 12

Third place winner “Good Morning Susan” published at
FFC

Interview with author Brittany Soder

Wednesday April 14

Second place winner “Gypsy Flour” published at FFC

Interview with author John Towler

Friday April 16

First Place winner “Salvation” published at Every Day
Fiction

Interview with First Place author Ann Pino at FFC

Hopefully, reading the winning stories will inspire flash writers to challenge themselves to take on a flash-a-day exercise and start submitting in the flash marketplace. And here’s a possible way to organize all that:

Madeline in Her Coffin up at Referential

4 Replies

This year is off to an amazing start. I’m a little breathless to tell you the truth. New story up today called Madeline in Her Coffin at Referential Magazine, a gorgeous looking online journal.

This is how Referential Magazine works–very cool. You read the magazine, pick something that appeals to you in some way, see what it suggests to you, reference it in a new story you write, and submit it!!!! Madeline is based on a story by Dawn Corrigan called Golden. Read hers and mine and see if you can see the connection between the two.

And consider reading Madeline and write a story based on a word, a phrase, a character from it. Let me know what happens!!
