I'm sponsoring and judging a 100 word flash fiction contest at The Velvet http://www.welcometothevelvet.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4530

We just closed the doors, but you can still enjoy the writing.

Peace,
Richard

I am so intimidated by this contest.

I wouldn't know what to write in just 100 words?

Darn. I'm a huge WCB fan and I've never read Seizure.

i THINK you can still buy back issues of BOMB at their site, including this issue, but not positive

was meaning to ask you, richard.. was that the issue you happened to buy from me on ebay years ago before we really knew each other ?

if so, i ordered it directly from their website. my guess is that they have plenty of back orders left. i remember that the price was reasonable. i think it was fifteen or twenty bucks, in all. took a week or two. very reasonable.

i think i'm going to have to become a part of the velvet. i don't quite feel like i belong yet though. haven't read any SGJ yet.

100 words is great. it's fun trying to write like this. good practice if you're trying to be a minimalist.

check out - www.onefifty.com.au

there is some okay flash or as they call it, micro-fiction on here. it's a website run by some cats in my town. i would've let you all know about them recently taking submissions, but unfortunately, it's for young australian's only.
