So anyway, here’s the monkey that swung by during yesterday’s writing session. #amwriting

I’m in Mexico, but my essay for FFO’s Feb issue posted today. Rereading it I’m gratified to see that days of meditation & writing has regulated and focused the negative energy I felt building up over the course of January. #writingcommunity #amwriting www.flashfictiononline.com/article/edit...

I have a little reprint story this month in this gorgeous issue of Flash Fiction Online. Looking forward to reading all the stories 🙌

This is a wonderful short story. You should read it. :) As a double immigrant whose name often gets butchered, I found it very relatable. Especially this line. ;) "I dream and curse in three languages."

Hi this is Rebecca, FFO EIC. I just want to say that if you are like me, it’s been really hard to write lately. The absolute horrific behavior of ICE goons is hard to watch yet I can’t look away. I’m journaling, I’m capturing quotes and emotions, I’m reading poetry. 1/ #writingcommunity

Abolish ICE

It's out! Dream interpretation, money trouble, and a lot of feelings in this story. Thrilled to share it with you all.

@caspiandarke.bsky.social so proud of you my dear 💕

This was beautiful and moving. A story I needed to read today.

“But still, they’re using our stuff. It’s enough.” Wow. Stunning work by @mmschreier.bsky.social in @flashfictiononline.bsky.social

I’ve been reading @mmschreier.bsky.social’s work for years, and this is the gut-punchiest story I’ve read in a long time. Lovely, sweet, and terribly sad all at once.

Today's story I've enjoyed is a flash over at @flashfictiononline.bsky.social. "What To Buy Your Husband of Thirty-Seven Years for His Birthday." by Jay McKenzie www.flashfictiononline.com/article/what...

Our latest release & next in the lineup of our regret-themed Jan ‘26 issue is Caspian Darke’s “Death Is a Black Door in the Ghetto.” Are you ready to confront what’s behind that door? 👀🫣 #writingcommunity #horror #flashfiction @caspiandarke.bsky.social www.flashfictiononline.com/article/deat...

I’m incredibly grateful to share that my flash story, “Death Is a Black Door in the Ghetto,” is now live! A door. A key. A burning. A letter. Pass through the Black Door, and may you not remain unscathed. 👉 www.flashfictiononline.com/article/deat...

Fabulous, heartwrenching story (especially speaking as a little sister myself) by @mmschreier.bsky.social out in Flash Fiction Online now.

"... to reflect the current shitstorm now that plastic everywhere is basically disappearing? -Kinoko" Smart use of form and humor in this searing flash! @slashnburnett.bsky.social in @flashfictiononline.bsky.social

"We spend a lifetime looking for the stairs that go nowhere, but hope they actually go everywhere." A beautiful piece by a talented writer and wonderful human being.

This Tuesday, we are celebrating the release of “Stairs for Mermaids” by MM Schreier. This dark literary fantasy uses 1st-person plural POV to deliver the collective voice of little sisters. #writingcommunity #flashfiction @mmschreier.bsky.social www.flashfictiononline.com/article/stai...

Kicking Jan ‘26 off with Jay McKenzie’s “What to buy your husband of thirty-seven years for his birthday.” And you thought gift guides were only for December 😏 #literary #flashfiction #amreading #writingcommunity #litfic #regret www.flashfictiononline.com/article/what...

This is such a good issue, you guys! And not just because I'm in it!

One of my favourite stories in this online magazine!!! So excited!

@flashfictiononline.bsky.social this is soooo good! Looking forward to digging into the rest of the issue! www.flashfictiononline.com/article/what...

Twas an honour getting to guest edit this issue of FFO to kickoff the new year!! 🥺🤍✨‼️

sooooo excited to be part of this issue!

I went to have a peek at this submission call because resistance stories are definitely my jam, and was unexpectedly gobsmacked because one of my flash stories, "The Machine of the Devil", is quoted as an example of what they're looking for and now I'm ❤️😭.

📣 FFO is thrilled to release our January 2026 issue. Guest edited by Ai Jiang, it explores “regret” across multiple genres. We can’t change the past, only learn from it! #writingcommunity #regret #litfic #scifi #fantasy #amreading @aijiang.bsky.social www.flashfictiononline.com/product/flas...
