Hi all,
I came upon the web site
flashfictionfriday which challenges authors to submit short (75-100 word) original stories. This is one of my first submissions.
Although I gravitate toward short story writing, I am finding it challenging to develop original-universe stories in so few words. So far, I have had three published there -- two of which were adaptations of stories I posted here. "The Final Present" is my first short short story that completely started life outside of any fandom. I've already written my next short story for that site, but I'll have to wait to post it here until it is either accepted or rejected there. (They only publish stories that haven't been posted elsewhere, but they permit authors to post their stories elsewhere after they are up on their site.) If all goes well, within a fortnight, I'll be posting "Chocolate or Vanilla?"
So, what do you think of this story?
Joy,
Lynn
