Flash In A Flash

Hi All!

I'm sad to say that after years of experimentation, Flash in a Flash is closing doors. This group will be going away at the end of the month.

But fear not! Other shenanigans await over on my personal feed. See link in the comments and come hang out with me over there. Bring stories, links, and book reccos to put on my wall. I think you'll see more traction. I sure do.

Thanks for being part of the ride. It's been fun.

A while back, some friends and I put together this tshirt idea. Author images on the front, bibliography on the back in the style of rock tour shirts.

We're pretty happy with how it's coming out, but have a question for you all.

Caveat: we're sticking to folks with work in the public domain for now, just to avoid any copyright shenanigans until we have our legs more firmly beneath us.

Instead of delivering a single story, I'm putting forward a challenge: Write the shortest scary story you can.

Stuff along the lines of

"The last person on earth sat in the room. There was a knock at the door."

I'd love to put out 31 of them, so DM me what you can come up with, or if you're brave just put it in the comments.

Happy Halloween!
