CUTTING IT A LITTLE FINE...?
THANK YOU, ANYWAY!
for your submission. We look forward to reading it! As usual, you'll know if your submission has cleared our first hurdle if you see it posted at some point over the next few days.
We generally try to post on Fridays. We don't – can't – acknowledge your work individually. You'll know your story or poem has been accepted if and when it's published, and we also try to flag newly posted work on Twitter.
We try to accept most things, but I'm afraid we have to reject submissions:
Also, please be aware that the main focus of Friday Flash Fiction is Classic 100-word fiction, and until you've had two 75-100 stories published, we won't accept any longer stories or poems.
However we do hope you enjoyed writing for us and will write again in the future. However, please remember that you're limited to one submission across the entire site each week (which runs from Saturday 00:00 to Friday 23:59), or else we’ll struggle to cope with it all. Be aware, also, that we often get snowed under with many submissions arriving all at once, particularly near the Friday night deadline. The site isn't manned 24/7, so any story submitted close to the deadline might not be picked up in time. You'd be surprised how many people post submissions in the final hour before midnight. But we do our best.
Whatever you've sent us, and wherever you've sent it from, keep well and stay safe.

We try to accept most things, but I'm afraid we have to reject submissions:
- that are too long (and sometimes too short);
- that are 101-150 words long (this excludes poetry);
- that are offensive or inappropriate;
- that are not sufficiently well-written, with poor grammar or spelling. I'm afraid we don't have resources to edit poorly-prepared work;
- where the submissions form has been incorrectly completed. It drives us mad and is currently the most common reason for rejection.
