Before you do so, please take time to make sure you complete the submissions form properly. By far the most common mistake is to forget to include your name as well as you story title in the box at the very top – these will NOT be published. Nor will entries that miss out that ', by " before the author's name.
But please check that you've followed all the requirements of entry. Not following the house style suggests that you haven't read any of your peers' other excellent stories on Friday Flash Fiction. Although there's a prize for the best story this Christmas, we're a community and try to learn from each other.

*If you want your prize, you'll need to be paid either by PayPal (easier) or BACS.
