The number of words can vary widely -
for our competition it will be a maximum of 250. Other names for flash fiction include
sudden fiction, microfiction, micro-story, postcard fiction, prosetry and short short story.
Flash fiction work contains the classic story elements: protagonist, conflict, obstacles or
complications and resolution. However unlike the case with a traditional short story, the word
length often forces some of these elements to remain unwritten: hinted at or implied in the written storyline. Fee£6 per short, short storyJudgingAll entries are judged anonymously.
