I entered 4 stories as I loved being in last year's anthology. 3 made it into the top 10% but sadly for me that's as far as it went this year. Congratulations to all the longlisters and good luck for the shortlist.

Slight state of shock. I was so desperate to get onto the Oxford Flash Fiction longlist that I sent 3 stories hoping one would scrape in - and all made it. I will be forlorn if all die before the next stage, but for now can stay in state of tingly disbelief. THANK YOU @oxfordflashfiction.bsky.social
