Yes. I know I mentioned this earlier, but also me to share it again. @rachelsavagewrites.bsky.social (1st place in the #flash #fiction contest). The web site's getting updated and all is well. Look's a bit different. Thanks world and #stay #blessed. #WritingCommunity dogthroat.com/post/the-nig...

Good evening world of sky. Please enjoy this quiet, contemplative piece from the #flash #fiction contest by @zaryfekete.bsky.social. It focuses on an everyday object, and in doing so in an introspective, poetic way, makes the ordinary sacred. dogthroat.com/post/on-the-...

And this evening we have When Harvey Arrives by the one and only Greg Lemon. Why, it'll knock the jellyfish right out of your casserole. #flash #fiction #fun for all including #WritingCommunity and those inside a book looking out. dogthroat.com/post/when-ha...

Good morning. For a dive into the mystical and the sensual, we have this #fiction piece by @ccarrel.bsky.social, 3rd place in our recent #contest. Take a read on the feral side. It's a treat. #WritingCommunity dogthroat.com/post/tangled...

A story not for the timid, Barlow Crassmont gives us a risk taking narrative with a relentless pull toward an ending that likely steps on a few toes. And hey. That's what we like around here. 2nd place in the #flash #fiction contest. #WritingCommunity dogthroat.com/post/any-day...

Hello! I very much want to share this beautiful story by @rachelsavagewrites.bsky.social (1st place in the #flash #fiction contest). I'll get some more social updates going soon, still dealing with a few things on the new web site. dogthroat.com/post/the-nig...

Our latest issue is now live. And I want to share this piece by @bigjosh84.bsky.social because I really love it. Our new web site is operational, and I'll be checking that things are working right, and posting more about the latest stories very soon. #fiction #poetry dogthroat.com/post/the-rap...

Congratulations to our #flash #fiction contest winners. These stories and the honorable mentions will be published in the upcoming edition of DTJ. Many thanks to all who trusted your work with us. It was #liberating and #fun to read all. Stay tuned and #stay #blessed Issue goes live August 25.

Whew... after much reading, re-reading, walking, thinking, we've arrived with the winners and honorable mentions for the #flash #fiction #contest It's been a great deal of fun for me, personally. And I've also learned a few things. More news soon. Thanks all for your support. #WritingCommunity

By the way, when I said finalists, I didn't mean to imply that all decisions have been made. They haven't. Still sorting things out. At this point, I have read all entries, some multiple times. So hang in there, please. Thank you #WritingCommunity and #stay #blessed.

Today's Sunday and I'll take a short break soon, but wanted to say we've got some finalists for the #fiction contest. Will have more info soon. We had a large response; thank you everybody! If you still waiting to hear, a little more patience, please. Don't want to send email today. Tomorrow.

Hey! Dog Throat Journal is now a member of CLMP. How about that? Thanks @clmporg.bsky.social for the rapid processing.

The turnout for the #flash #fiction #contest has been great. I'm reading in the morning and at night, too. Plus those walks with my supervisor in the afternoon. She approves. Thanks everybody. #WritingCommunity

Subs up, subs on, contest up and on. Few more days until the deadline. Yeah, that one. Meanwhile, Oleg Volkov warns that "You’ll start boozing, partying, mainlining ketamine, and popping pills..." Watch it. Read it. #fiction #WritingCommunity #Hey #Jude and stay #blessed

I'm reading, reading: subs for contest, regular subs, in the morning and in the evening. Thank you! In the afternoon, updates to the web site. Some newness coming. Meanwhile, my supervisor is checking up me. #fiction #WritingCommunity #prose #poetry #open

You know what's beautiful? Reading #stories for our #contest and regular subs, and finding those gems. It gives me a lot of pleasure. Thank you all, and keep your work flowing our way. We're open for #fiction contest, fiction regular subs, and #prose #poetry until the end of July. #writingcommunity

We read subs blind and it's quite liberating. Send something our way and we'll see it without seeing, which sounds kind of whacked, but sure you know what I mean. #fiction #writingcommunity and #prose #poetry

Midnight to share and if I repeat pieces, it's because I don't keep track. Messy that way. #stay #blessed and #happy "The #witnesses came forward flecked with bits of dirt, holding sheets of paper scrawled with words like something that might make up a prayer wheel..." - @sarahrohrs.bsky.social

Good morning Tuesday. Now go forth and enjoy this odd and hard hitting piece by Trilety Wade.
