First of all, I would like to wish a warm welcome to all of you
joining us ! I'm absolutely thrilled to see this many people
interested in Flash Fiction Fridays.
A couple of things:
- This is an unmoderated community; as such, no one other takes any
credit or blame for the content of an individual author's work other
than that author themselves. I'm in no means trying to solicit
'adult' or 'offensive' work by saying this, but people will write what
they write. At the same time: authors, use your good judgment when
posting work - if you think what you're saying is going to be
offensive to people, make sure to include a note or warning of that
fact.
- The name of the game is Flash Fiction Fridays. As such, please make
sure that your stories qualify as flash fiction (that is, they're
under 1000 words) and that you post them on Friday ('Friday' here
being defined as 'between 12:01am and 11:59pm in the time zone in
which you currently are'). If you can't get it to fit within those
guidelines, there's always next week :o)
- On posting stories: Every Friday we'll have a discussion thread
started in the morning called "Flash Fiction Fridays #n - <current
date>". For the convenience of all involved, it would probably be
best if we can keep all of the stories within the one thread.
- Feel free to start discussions with your fellow authors on your
thoughts on their stories (that's kind of the point of having a group
like this after all, right?).
- To steal a line from the Office of Letters and Light: At some point
during this, you have to have a ridiculous amount of fun.
