About DiddleDog Flash Fiction
DiddleDog is an eclectic collection of flash fictions—concise narratives under a thousand words that amuse, entertain, and sometimes confound. We publish the works of talented flash writers who enjoy spinning an interesting, compelling, or audacious little tale. We welcome the opportunity to consider stories that, for whatever reason, have not been favored by other markets.
Be advised: The stories found here are intended for mature, adult readers. Although we do not publish erotica or porn, there may be stories that contain language or themes that some could find objectionable.
We are now accepting submissions for the next issue.
