“Organ Surrender Syndrome” Shortlist – 2026 Gooseberry Pie Annual Writing Competition by @joycebingham.bsky.social gooseberry-pie.com/organ-surren...

"A couple of kidneys fell out as I sat on the sofa, and I had to delve into the crumb infested space to fish them out" @joycebingham.bsky.social writes a heck of an extended metaphor gooseberry-pie.com/organ-surren...

A wonderful story from @tomljanovic.bsky.social you'll need a tissue.

Grab yourself a bargain.

Wow, my title is there on the short list, so exciting. Good luck everyone.

Delighted to be on the long list @gooseberrypielit.bsky.social

Welkin me up!

Are you a roller-uperer, or a smoother-outerer?

Delighted to be joining the wonderful team at Raw Lit.

I was right there with the narrator in this one. @joycebingham.bsky.social deftly capturing all our still-vivid school humiliations

The use of repetition in this @joycebingham.bsky.social story, a lifetime lived and relived in one trepidation-filled event. Whew. templeinacity.com/flash-fictio...

New blog post: collaborating on my first Exquisite Corpse with the talented @delgeo14.bsky.social @sugarpigblog.bsky.social @hilary55.bsky.social @joycebingham.bsky.social tomljanovic.wordpress.com/2025/09/27/e... #writingcommunity #womenwriters

"Today's must-haves are nothing more than tomorrow's junk." Read "Dear Society; A Collective Roar" An exquisite corpse up now at The Pride Roars! theprideroars.blogspot.com/2025/09/dear...

"You took an anti-nausea pill and bowed to the cake and then sawed into it with your penknife, the miniature blade gouging its way through soft sponge and whipped cream." Love the deft way @joycebingham.bsky.social explores so many issues in this story for @neitherfishnorfoul.com #flash #witing

The first story I accepted for this issue. Classic cake, unexpected setting and a delicacy of touch at one with the lightness of a Victoria Sponge. Dare you not to be moved. @joycebingham.bsky.social neitherfishnorfoul.com/issue-5-bingham-extreme-picnicking-for-the-discerning

Love this piece of defiant cakey love “Then you licked the smear of jam off my nose as I kissed your softness to my tongue.” @joycebingham.bsky.social in @neitherfishnorfoul.com 🧡🧡🧡🎂

Wow, I'm drooling over a mud cake. 'she concentrated on her specialty: a single-layer mud masterpiece frosted with mashed green leaves'

'her pulse a beating song as we rise, dip, rise, gathering strength. ' A deep slice of cake from @nomad-sw18.bsky.social a feather light delight.

A cake story born in @writershq.bsky.social a while ago, but it only found its true voice last year. Delighted to share this issue with so many wonderful cakes, I mean stories.

Excited to be in the "Cake" issue of @neitherfishnorfoul.com w some great writers @quickasaflash.bsky.social @joycebingham.bsky.social @jaimegill.bsky.social @emilyrinkema.bsky.social www.neitherfishnorfoul.com/issue-5-beau...
