Would it have been worth while,
To have bitten off the matter with a smile,
To have squeezed the universe into a ball
To roll it toward some overwhelming question
To say: "I am Lazarus, come from the dead,
Come back to tell you all, I shall tell you all"
T.S. Eliot

I would say the more you can do with the least amount of words the more we may be impressed. I would still leave it open for Sana to suggest a limit if she wishes. okay 1000 words max, anything over that disqualifies as flash fiction. if I were you, I wouldn't make it that long though. just saying... |

The father deleted your posts and mine for a reason. Now these two are gone.
Dude. When I humiliate poasters I don't need to delete poasts. Your assumptions may lead you into deep doo doo. Would you like to see how I treat assumptive windbags? As an admin, I mean? In the meantime? Try looking on the first page of this announcement: http://literarymary.com/forum/announcements/the-first-ever-flash-fiction-contest-at-literarymary...then go from there. I'll be waiting for my apo - logy. I deleted nothing. Not one fucking thing. And? If you push me? You will be rather sorry you did. Nothing is deleted at Mary. But, I can fuck with your poasts. I mean. If that's what you want? |

Yah it confuses me sometimes too. It's that the original post repeats on the top of every new page. |

This is exciting. I haven't written flash fiction in an age. Now I'll be a nervous wreck for the next few weeks trying to think of something. Thanks for the opportunity, though. I hope to take advantage of it. After all, prose is where I actually have a shred of ambition. Poetry is usually me spilling my seed on the carpet. |
