I'm registered and excited to do it again - especially since I couldn't do the Screenplay comp, so I haven't written to deadline since round 1 SSC.

What I found with Flash Fiction vs. Short Story is that it seems to me that the method of the writing is different. I see that the winning entries all seem to share the writing methodology of "me thinking aloud about what I'm seeing and feeling."
I could be wrong. But if I look at the winners, I'm becoming convinced I'm on point here. Edited by stephenmatlock - 15 Jun 2017 at 6:54pm |

Pithy sayings are for the apt. For a longer message, you need a condo.

I am seriously considering entering. I'm getting ready for round 2 of the SWC, and although it was my first time writing a screenplay, I'm enjoying the whole thing tremendously.
So yeah... I've always been more of a short story guy, actually. This might be a great experience, too. Choices, choices...

I'm all signed up and looking forward to it again this year.
I enjoy the Flash Fiction format more than the SSC but its mostly personal preference. Some people struggle with the word limit and deadlines in FFC but they suit me better than the early rounds of SSC. It also gives me two guaranteed weekend's of writing, two short bursts of tackling new prompts and genres, and two rounds of forum feedback. I use it more like a 'workshop' than a contest, to be honest, so it's also very good value for money for me. Edited by maiaco - 17 Jun 2017 at 7:20am |

I prefer the SSC, but I like getting two pieces out of FFC. So I guess it's a wash! Welcome, newcomers. I hope you love it. Best of luck to all!

I haven't paid, yet, but I plan on doing this again. It will be my second year. Last year I got an Honorable Mention on the 3rd story (Round 2, I believe). Definitely want to shoot for making the final this year, but I think 49th-96th place is pretty good. :)

I'm in! I skipped SSC to focus on my novel (difficult decision, but a good one), so I'm really excited for FFC...I just hope I'm not TOO rusty when it comes to short form, lol.
See you all in a few weeks!

Hey Hey Hey, it's STEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPHALEPHAGUS!!!!
I'm still debating on whether to participate or not, financial stuff (moth flies from the empty wall safe) but I'm really leaning towards giving this another shot! |
