07 Feb 07 Another FS Update

In case folks missed it, Flashes of Speculation got another update yesterday.  Four new stories got posted up, so go give ‘em a read and leave some comments and feedback for the authors.

FS is always taking submissions, as well, so if anyone has any speculative fiction stories under 1000 words, feel free to send them my way.  I haven’t done such a good job promoting FS lately, but I’d be curious to see if interest in the site – both from contributors and readers – can be revived.

14 Jan 07 Speculative Flash Fiction, Redux

For any who haven’t checked it in a while, Flashes of Speculation is still in business, and we’ve actually had a small influx of new content recently.  So please feel free to stop by – read, comment, subscribe, whatever suits your fancy.  And if speculative fiction is your particular cuppa tea, check out the submissions page and send in a few stories.

25 Sep 06 Front-End Updated

The front page of my website has been updated.  The splash page I had there was simply too difficult to keep current, since it involved those roll-over graphics.  And since I’ve taken some parts of the site down and added others, it was just simpler to replace the splash page with another WordPress blog and use it as a content management system.  That will be the place to check for all new site updates, including announcements of new stories at Flashes of Speculation, changes or upgrades (or simply activity) at the forum, and new articles here (but of course, you’re already subscribed here, right?). 

I have a wiki on this site, as well, but I haven’t really figured out what to do with it yet.  I’ve primarily been using it as a place to archive some writing that belongs to a friend of mine, but I’ve been considering working on expanding it into an archive for writing resources – links, how-tos, etc.  That, however, will be a much larger project than I can ever do alone, so I won’t even bring the wiki to the surface unless there’s a certain level of interest from others in helping out with something like that.  And there may not even be that much of a need. 

So, just out of curiosity, anyone interested in helping build a Writer’s Resource area?

16 Aug 06 Heaven

And Jason Evans has added his pen to the list of contributing writers at Flashes of Speculation with his piece entitled Heaven.  Interesting perspective, to say the least.

15 Aug 06 Kisses Can Be Dangerous!

Another chilling tale from Hana Lee over at Flashes of Speculation.  I don’t think I’ll ever look at first dates quite the same way again.  Good thing that’s not something I’ll ever have to worry about, eh?
