I feel like one thing this place needs (apart from emojis) is a #flashfiction feed. Anyone know how that sort of thing gets created? In the meantime, I'd love to connect with all the flash fiction writers. Maybe reply with a link to one of your stories? In the mood for some reading! #writing #author
