FFM 2023 is organized on WordPress!
Greetings, brave writers. We have been informed that journals' visibility on DeviantArt hinders the spread of the message of our recent migration announcement journal and hence we are making this deviation. If you are craving for flash fiction action, please head to flashficmonth.wordpress.com/. FFM 2023 day 1 post (featuring a challenge! :dummy: ) and the prompt bank are already up and there's a TL;DR on our current situation on the front page. We hope to see you all there. :eyes:

Instructions Flash Fiction Month is about writing – and posting – a story between 55-1000 words in length every day during July.

If you are a dreamer, come in,
If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar,
A hope-er, a pray-er, a magic bean buyer…

For we have some flax-golden tales to spin.

Welcome to Flash Fiction Month, day OMEGA.
How time does fly. Another year, another ending, and another 11 months until you'll see us once again. Or perhaps not... Being a multi-dimensional being, we don't technically have any sleeves, but if we were in possession of such things we would most definitely have something up them. :eyes:
There's been laughter, and tears, and many a sleepless night, but after today you can hang up your hat, get some much needed rest and know that you've successfully completed Flash Fiction Month and lived.
Unless of course you didn't, in which case too bad.
Better luck next year. ;)

FFM Links - Day... wait, what? It's over?
It's the last day of your July writing marathon today. You've done some brilliant stuff. You've been awesome. Give yourselves a pat on the back. You may, if you are fully up to date, permit yourself either one moderately quiet "Viva!" or a brief fistpump. Don't start celebrating too soon though. Today is your final CHALLENGE of 2015.
We're still judging and we promise that this year we really will finish the judging. We're going to announce the mug for this year soon too. Keep watching this space because the awesomeness doesn't stop when the party's over.

THE END IS NIGH. Of Flash Fiction Month. And maybe the world at large, who knows? It could be less than a month until the ebola zombies rule the world.
Scroll down for the challenge, which might include pilish.
2014 Hydra, I'm gonna let you finish, but first, let's just let our future flasher's know that they're on the right track, shall we. That's right, the end is nigh. Keep going and see what you can find, but be sure to pay attention to the things you're passing on the way down, you never know what might come in handy.
Well thanks for that rude interruption. As we were saying...

Welcome to Flash Fiction Month, Day OMEGAHow can it be nearly over? How can it be so? The madness dwindles, our lips whisper the final VIVA, the last fistpump explodes quietly...
OR NOT!
This is Flash Fiction Month, and the insanity is never truly over. You've got pieces to edit and expand, a myriad of prompts to keep on writing once July is over, and the pride of knowing you've stuck around for another zany year. Thanks so much, everyone! Hang around in the chatroom for the next few days to discuss how you did, what FFM should be doing next year (or BEFORE next year?), and to Viva like it's 1910.

Welcome to Flash Fiction Month 2012, Day Thirty-One.
This is it. It's the final day. Congratulations on making it this far, but to make it all the way to the end, you'll have to overcome one last Double Challenge. To complete today's challenge, which is totally optional by the way, you'll have to draw on everything you've learned during Flash Fiction Month 2012. Your knowledge of genres, themes, tropes, and forms will all be tested. With that out of the way, I'd just like to say I hope you've enjoyed yourself for the past month, because I've enjoyed reading all your amazing stories and getting to know so many of you.
