FLASH FICTION - WINTER SOLSTICE PROJECT

I'm pleased to report that the above event (Dec. 20 to Dec. 22) was a success. Many signed up for the three-day info grab and we shared so much good information on flash fiction. We'll be doing this again next year. (So watch for sign up info later in the year.)

In addition to all sorts of info about flash fiction we also posted some of our favorite online stories. Here are just a few mentioned:

Lydia Davis's "Odd Behavior"

C. R. Park's "I Can't Talk About Butter Because Margarine Is All I Know" http://www.smokelong.com/flash/1041.asp

Bruce Holland Rogers's "Little Brother"
http://www.strangehorizons.com/2000/20001030/little_brother.shtml

Zach Brockhouse's "Roosts"

Octavio Paz's "The Blue Bouquet" at:http://lisabloomfield.net/occ/193/weekly_html/bluebouquet.pdf

Sherrie Flick's "Silver Spur Cafe"

I'll post more favorite online stories next time I blog.

For some of the favorite markets posted see my Flash Fiction Flash Newsletter (January 2011 issue) http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FlashFictionFlash (coming out today).

We also posted several collection/ anthology reviews and I'll post some info on those later on, too. The event was a bonanza of information so check back again for more "grabbings" from the three days we spent on flash fiction.

Happy and productive 2011 to all!
