If you are interested in writing dark fiction/horror this fall for #Storytober, I will be posting links to videos, articles, and example stories to help generate thoughts and ideas. Those who have written to prompts for #50WordFriday may be interested. I would like to expand beyond the 50-word challenge into longer lengths---ie, 175, 250, 500---though #50WordFiction is always lovely. Please refer to the hashtag #Storytober for updates. 🖤 💀

Not everything here jibes with what I like to write or see in others' writing. Archetypes, for example, are not exactly necessary as stand-ins for full-fledged characters in writing flash fiction. So much is suggested in flash fiction that other hints can make them rounded rather than flat, boring, and played. Also, crazy long titles aren't necessary and are sometimes a turn off. Single word titles are fine, or just the name of your MC, the name of the town, the event, or something poetic, etc.
