Cud Flashes in the Pan

 

I do a monthly flash-fiction column at www.TheCud.com.au where I writer flash-fiction stories, usually 75-800 words each, and generally speculative fiction (i.e., sci-fi, fantasy, horror, etc.). I tend to do themed columns every month. Here's an archive of what's there. Note that November is a best-of issue that reruns popular content from earlier in the year. If I haven't updated this page, just hit The Cud's Web site.

  • January 2012 - The Cud's annual "All Things Lit" issue. Includes just one flash-fiction piece, along with a 725-word sword & sorcery poem, a 3,000-word mainstream short story, and an 8,700-word ebook reprint of "Cone Zero, Sphere Zero" (from Nemonymous 8: Cone Zero and Atheist Tales)
     

  • December 2011 - Theme: "Gifts"
     

  • October 2011 - Theme: "Halloween Horror"
     

  • September 2011 - Theme: "Swords & Dungeons, Sorcery & Dragons"
     

  • August 2011 - Theme: "Dystopia in a Day" - dystopian fiction being one of my favorites, this was really fun to write
     

  • July 2011 - Theme: "Final Frontiers," in honor of the 42nd anniversary of the moon landing (and in honor of the number 42, naturally). This was the first month the column had a theme.
     

  • June 2011 - Featuring horror, super hero, sword & sorcery, and dystopian sci-fi
