NEW FICTION (HOLIDAY EDITION): "Gift from Santa Claws" by Emmie Christie #SFF #flashfiction flashpointsf.com/2024/12/13/g...

FPSF is not on KU, but we very much believe in tossing a coin to your witcher, so let's spread the word!

"666 Maple Drive" by @victorialbrun.bsky.social is an October Must-Read! Check it out! flashpointsf.com/2024/10/18/6...

New Story: With great joy, and not a little sadness, I announce the publication of 'Dead Notice', my final story of 2024, out now from Flash Point SF. Art from the surreal mind of Kevin Pabst. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of those affected. @flashpointsf.bsky.social

It's galling to have put so much effort into building an audience over *there* only for people to now flee the space in mass, but at least some of y'all have re-found us here. We only ever wanted to share stories, whether that be with tens, or hundreds, or thousands. Here's to starting over!

NEW FICTION: The Heartbeat Between Life and Death by @aknighton.bsky.social #SFF #flashfiction flashpointsf.com/2024/11/15/t...

“They Will Dance Among Planets” published with @flashpointsf.bsky.social, recommended on the Nebula Reading List (2024), and also FREE to read. Some legacies are meant for the stars.

NEW FICTION: Here it is, story #100! "Interpreting the Prime Directive" by MM Schreier @mmschreier.bsky.social #SFF #flashfiction flashpointsf.com?p=5420

And that's all folks! The Kickstarter is over and we're successfully funded for another year! Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who gave, spread the word, or otherwise supported us during this campaign. We never cease to be humbled by the generosity of spirit within this community.

1 hour to go on the Flash Point SF Kickstarter! We'd love your support for this next year, but the clock is ticking. Even $5 goes a long way. www.kickstarter.com/projects/fla...

We're down to the final 24 hours on Kickstarter! If you've been waiting until the last moment to show your support (good writers know how to build tension and raise stakes), then you've succeeded! Please consider helping us cross the finish line strong: www.kickstarter.com/projects/fla...

Only 48 hours to go! If you haven't already, please consider supporting our Kickstarter and help us make 2025 the best year yet! www.kickstarter.com/projects/fla...

We've officially hit our funding minimum! Hurray! One more year of FPSF! We could still use your help, however, so if you'd like to see some awesome bonuses like guest artwork, website refab, or even a pay rate increase, please keep supporting us! www.kickstarter.com/projects/fla...

NEW FICTION (yes we still do that!): "RoxysMakeupMoxy6 Gets Real" by @ideofmarch.bsky.social #SFF #flashfiction flashpointsf.com?p=5361

Why back our Kickstarter, you ask? It's the only way to get one of our gorgeous yearly anthologies in hardcover! They look great on the shelf and are full of the best flash authors in the biz, but once the Kickstarter closes, you're out of luck... www.kickstarter.com/projects/fla...

If you like flash fiction (and who doesn't??) You should check this Kickstarter out. They're great! And I'm not just saying that because they've published a couple of my stories. =) (Though they have, and you should read them!)

FPSF apology incoming: Several of you have reached out, and yes, we were scheduled to open for submissions on Sep. 15. Unfortunately that didn't happen, and we sincerely apologize to any who are disappointed. The reasons are twofold...

Our 2024 Kickstarter is halfway over, but we've still got some distance to cover. Please consider supporting us if you're able and enjoy our little slice of the SFF universe! Donate here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/fla...
