DiddleDog defines flash as being a story told in
less than 1000 words.
Almost any genre is acceptable,
excluding erotica or porn. We are also not excited by fantasy or speculative
fiction, unless it's outrageously clever. We cater to the mature
adult reader. Stories for children or young teens will not be
considered.
Send one story at a time in an email that has
Submission as
the subject line.
Paste the story as
plain text into the body of the email.
Be sure to head the story with a title and the author's name. We
prefer an author name that is not simply a 'handle' or 'username'.
We will ignore attachments. We don't have MS Word.
Include a short, third-person author bio.
