I may have got a little over-excited and opened entries a little early. I'm not going to start reading until Monday, but if you want to send something over the weekend, you are welcome to do so:

Writers: what are your favorite flash stories with long titles? What about flash that borrows techniques from poetry (such as anaphora)?

Want a submissions secret? 🤫 We get way fewer short-short and micro submissions than flash, so if you want to increase your chances, why not give one of those a try?

Here’s a short-short from Issue 3 we love by @ezhang77.bsky.social
