FFM 2018 Community Feature
Welcome to the Flash Fiction Month 2018
Community Feature!
Almost a thousand stories were produced for Flash Fiction Month this year, and that's a lot to sift through, even for a multi-headed quasi-immortal fiction entity like ourselves. That's why every year we ask the participants to send us their favorite stories, so that we may gather them together for a final feature.
All the stories below were suggested by the FFM participants (or by a Hydra), so if you weren't sure where to begin catching up with your reading, this is the place to start! We aren't omnipotent (alas), so there's bound to be a few gems that escaped our notice, but you
Hello!
Firstly, well done to you crazy cats who participated in the corpse! For those who didn't, don't ignore this journal- come read, share your thoughts and maybe next time sign up!
The three teams have now completed their poems and below is the great reveal of all three! There is some fantastic little groups of lines that work really well together- let's check them out...
Team Thriller
This isn't the first time I cleared the mess
I found your red doll with a button eye loose
Half-blind, she relied on strange means and measures
Her futures weighed on balance scales
Her past silently gazes
As the future looms ahead
There is nothing left

Ten Little Astronauts Artwork by Joe Wright
joe-wright (https://www.deviantart.com/joe-wright) just sent over this absolutely fantastic Ten Little Astronauts artwork! It’s based on a scene from the novella that a very small handful of people will have heard me read at the International Agatha Christie Festival.
Chances are you’ll have come across joe-wright (https://www.deviantart.com/joe-wright)’s work before, as he also produced the image I’ve been using in almost all my promotional materials for Girth Loinhammer’s Most Exponential Adventure. This one’s very different in terms of style, though:
I was trying to make something that was reminiscent of old sci-fi pulp novels, which I understand isn’t exactly the
You've been waiting very patiently, and at last the results of Flash Fiction Month 2017 are here!
As ever, the list of people we'd like to thank is as long as our tentacles. But in particular we’d like everyone to give a special round of applause for the amazing volunteer judges who devoted all their time and energy towards making this winners announcement a reality!
We'd also like to thank the extraordinarily generous 2017 prize donors, who made it possible to have the full four prizes for the third year in a row! And of course special thanks is due to the magnificently talented joe-wright (https://www.deviantart.com/joe-wright), for designing that most coveted flash fict
By now you all know that the great and transformative David Bowie passed away this month at the age of 69.
He was a remarkable individual, prolific, multi-talented, and inspirational to many in a multitude of different ways. And as anyone who has participated in Flash Fiction Month will know, he has proved a particular source of inspiration to FFM participants over the years in the form of our annual David Bowie Day tradition.
Over the years DBD has made us weep, and laugh, and tear our hair out, and has driven many a Flash Fiction Month participant to the brink of madness. For some it initiated you into the realm of Bowie fandom, or proved
Bet you thought we weren't coming back, didn't you? Well once again we've proved you wrong!
It wasn't easy. No really, it wasn't, and in fact, in future it would be nice if you guys could be slightly less awesome and make this whole judging business easier. But we overcame the hurdles that life placed in our way and judged the hell out of all your fabulous entries.
And so finally (and apparently for the first time since 2010), we are ready to announce not just one, but ALL of the winners for FFM 2015, who will be receiving this very "flashy" mug, designed by our very own wonderful neurotype-on-discord (https://www.deviantart.com/neurotype-on-discord)!
Isn't it tentacular?

And so
I had a great time. This month was crazy and awesome and I'm a little sad it's over.
Here are just a few of the excellent pieces I've read this week:
I'd also like to give a big shout out to all the Hydra Heads at Flash-Fic-Month (https://www.deviantart.com/flash-fic-month). Thank you for all your hard work. You made this an amazing month. :heart:

joe-wright (https://www.deviantart.com/joe-wright) writes mostly prose and it is really, really well-written prose. From what I've seen by skimming through his gallery, that prose is often comedic and humorous, and when it is, it's intelligently and excellently done. At other times, the works I've read are seriously thoughtful and imaginative, with a lovely language that really does the originality of the ideas and concepts justice.
He's also done Flash Fiction Month from 2010 to, well, this year, which is both a) really impressive, and b) means there's a lot of good stuff out there for everyone to read! I've selected
