I can't WAIT to share the whole image with you all. Let's just say, I'll be doing my Australian heritage proud in this one... 🦘

And that's a wrap on FLESH Fiction! Last night, we finished recording our BAREdevil episodes, which will be hitting the airwaves soon. I had to properly dissociate to read some of those lines, but I think my alter ego had fun??

Last chance! Calling for MALE voice stories only… I’ve done my bloody reading time, dammit! And we all know who among us at NQW has the sexier voice… 😏

The astute among you may have noticed the soft launch of our FLESH Fiction cover! Isn't she a beauty? 😍 Huge thanks to Vanessa from Vee Creative for the design. We're just putting the finishing touches on the book to get it ready for this launch. I'd love to see you there if you're able to come!

Welkin me up!

I'm really in need of some good news at the moment. Who's got some they can share? I don't care how big or small.

I’ve just seen @quitewriteed.bsky.social’s April prompts and I am JEALOUS AGAIN. I’m going to have to step it up a notch, I reckon…

It's the moment we've all been waiting for! Whether or not you won a prize, I hope you ALL enjoy these 6 incredible stories! This competition has been a joy for us and we couldn't be more grateful to you all. If you've enjoyed FLESH Fiction, please share the post below to help spread the word! 😘

A little "amuse bouche" if you will from all that smut 😁 Thanks to @kennypenn.com for being such a good sport!

Lately, I've been utterly immersed in editing Vol. 1 of our print FLESH Fiction collection. I'm SO EXCITED to publish these 31 stories and share a little insight into the experience of judging this competition - the tonal jackknifes and jaw-on-the-floor moments that made it such a joy. Stay tuned!

Happy Monday! Our final Flesh Fiction category podium announcement is up! Enjoy 😁

It was tough getting back into writing but I’ve managed to churn out three stories in a week for @twistinthetale.bsky.social! No masterpieces, but I stand by my claim that it’s a win just to enter ☺️ How did everyone else go?

Really sorry for taking it to a Fleshy place at the end there... 🙊

Want to level up your writing? A one-on-one with Amanda is the play! Don't miss this opportunity!

Me confronting my first attempt at @twistinthetale.bsky.social after a writing hiatus...

Thanks once again to @elisescott.bsky.social for helping out with the judging on this category, and sticking around to share your judging insights! I hope everyone is enjoying these readings? Fortunately, you get a break from my voice on this one!

BEHOLD: CROCEPTION 🤩

Excited to compete in my first round of Twist! I've locked in my prompts. I'm excited about my story idea! Somewhat less excited about the pressure to write it!

I sincerely apologise for the crappy audio. In my dissociative state I kept shrinking away from the microphone! The discomfort is palpable... ENJOY!

Ooohhhh I’m picking up the Flesh Fiction trophy today 🤩 I wonder what name is printed on the front… 🤔 Just kidding. I KNOW 😁

Kink & Taboo podium announcement incoming TODAY! I dissociated so hard while reading this second place story that I have no memory of the experience 😅 Hope you all enjoy my torture—it would be rather apt if you did!

The coolest thing about Back to the Future II is the part where the screenwriters went to the future, witnessed it, and then came back and wrote the character of Biff Tanner on that basis. Biff Tanner’s Pleasure Palace is Trump Tower, and you cannot convince me otherwise.

Will we finally go easy on third-time daredevil, @kurosh-daily-draw.bsky.social…? Nah.

Check out a guest post from back-to-back winner of the 100-word Microfiction Challenge, Christy Hartman, on her five strategies to craft tiny stories that resonate universally. Enjoy, and get ready for the 2026 challenge kicking off on Friday, March 20th! www.nycmidnight.com/blog/anatomy...

Me to the cringe that descends upon me when I listen back to my spicy story narration...

Looking forward to my first ever @twistinthetale.bsky.social tournament this weekend! Any tips from the pros?

📢 SYDNEYSIDERS 📢 Thrilled to announce I’ll be presenting a one day workshop at Writing NSW on 18 July! If you enjoy writing flash, beautiful old buildings, and hanging out in-person, this is the workshop for you! Writers at every stage of their writing journey are welcome. Hope to see you there ☺️

Big thanks also to our guest judge in the Erotic Romance category, @juliaboggio.bsky.social! We interviewed Julia and got some fabulous insights into the place of eroticism in commercial romance.

When I tell you these next two stories are spicy, I'm saying I barely survived the readings! 🥵 I dare you to listen while travelling on public transport 😆

I’ve just listened to a Daredevil draft episode that was recorded in the sweltering heat, and you know what that means! Unhinged post credits content! I apologise profusely to the author whose story was drawn into our sheer insanity. I’m gonna miss this nonsense now the aircon has been installed 🥲

Life is so much better since I gave up Twitter completely. It feels like breaking up with a toxic ex 😂

Is that a hint of roasting writerly ego I detect in the air? 😈

Yay! It's FINALLY time for me to humiliate myself in the form of spicy story narration! Congratulations to our 2nd and 3rd placeholders in the Erotic Comedy category! Your stories have left mental scars I hope never heal...

What’s everyone doing in about 5 hours? I know what I’ll be doing!

The boss is up to his neck in editing and says I’m not allowed to make any promises about when the next Flesh Fiction episode will drop. Being the respectful subordinate I am, I will absolutely be respecting that order 😇

Not to show off, but I've been listening to the audio for some of the upcoming Flesh Fiction story readings and... hooooo boy! They are HAWT 🥵

I know we’re all in the gutter rn, but I’ve seen the prompt artwork for the April round and I am SO EXCITED for the next write-off!

THIS IS NOT A DRILL! 🔥🔥🔥

Elise was SO helpful in judging FLESH Fiction, and with their recent trophy win, now seemed like the perfect time to extend an invitation to help us out with our quarterly comp! You’ll find Elise to be a thoughtful and fair-minded judge who looks for the heart in every story.

Only 10% of stories will be making that long-awaited longlist, but I hope ALL our authors enjoy tomorrow's episode. There's so much good stuff in it for everyone who entered (and everyone who wishes they entered!)

No, I do not want a glass with ice. Are you kidding??

Have a listen and let me know what you thought of the top stories this round!

It’s shortlist day! In just a few hours, we’ll be releasing the January shortlist and WINNER episode, featuring dramatised readings of some amazing stories 🤩

Just livin’ life with @salgal.bsky.social Thanks for coming all the way to Australia just to see me! 😉

Hope you’re recovered from the January longlist reveal, because you NEED to listen to this shortlist! Probs my fave shortlist episode to date, with some epic readings, and next level sound design by the EDitor-in-Chief. Drops this Friday, with the Flesh Fiction longlist episode hot on its heels!

I’ve now listened to the entire draft episode, and it’s lots of fun! My favourite bits are the fascinating conversations we had with @elisescott.bsky.social and Linda Atkins on the topics of consent and female anatomy, respectively. Our minds were blown in the best way, and we can’t wait to share!

We have arrived at a Flesh Fiction longlist episode first cut! It is still WAY too long so we're refining to get it down to only the most interesting content (which is tough because it's all FASCINATING imo). So much fun stuff heading your way soon!

As always it's Weetabix Hands* for our January entrants, with all the pleasure and pain of the longlist reveal. SO MANY fabulous stories this round. We're gonna need a bigger longlist... *If anyone gets this reference, I will personally kiss you on the forehead.

January longlist drops tomorrow! 🥳 Who’s got their eyes on the prize?

I've just finished making all the badges for our very clever FLESH Fiction authors 👀
