Flash Fiction Thread : Othor Games

» Sun Dec 04, 2011 5:50 pm

A flash fiction story is a short, short story. There's no required length, but generally a flash fic is less than 2,500 words. Writing a flash fic is great practice for writing something longer.

For the past few months I've been trying to cut my teeth as an indie author and was wondering if there were any other aspiring authors out there who'd like to share some of their work.

My flash fic is entitled "Diary of a Dead Muse." You can find it http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/72998.

It's free, and was posted for critiques and comments, so feel free to do so, rate it, share it, etc.

If you've written something creative yourself, post it below (use a spoiler tag so the thread looks pretty) or provide a link so we can find it elsewhere.

Remember, nothing M-rated

Cheers,

-S.S.

Buffy in the Woods
By Aramat!

Buffy and Xannder and Willow were walking through the woods one day
whenthey came to as vampire. Buffy and Xander and Willow screamed
and ran away farther into the woods and the vamps chased htem. Buffy
and Xander and Willow saw a littel house in the woodz and they ran to it
and got inside. The vamps came to the door and startedd banging and
finally one of them opened the door and came insode. Buffy looked at
Xander and Willow, confused. "I thought vampis couldn't come in not
invited?" Buffy asked the vampires chasing them around the room. The
big ugly vamp looked at jher and luaghed maniacally. "But we are invited."
he told her. "This is our house." Buffy's eyes widened in surprise.
"Willow,
Xander we need to leave now!" she shouted to her friends. But her cries of
warning came too late. While she had been talking to the vampiire her
friends had been turned into vampss them selves. Buffy screamed. She
was trapped in the house with six soulless demons. She had no where
else to run. Buffy was backing up into a corner when suddenly the door
to the house opened. And in stepped Angel and Giles. "Unhand that girl!"
Giles sadi rushing at the vamps shooting holy water at thew vamops. Buffy
was so amazed at GIles's enthusiaasm she fainted dead away on the floor.
Angel noticed this and ran over to her yellingv "If she''s dead, I'll kill
you all."
Angell got to Buffy side onlt to be stopped by Vampire Xander. Xnader
wasted no time throwing a punch at his enemy which started a whole bru-
haha between the two. Buffy finally woke up and saw The two fighting. She
walked over to Giles. "Why are they fighting?" she asked her Watcher.
Giles shrugged,. "I have no idea." Buffy and Giles, so entranced buy the
fight did nnot notice when Willow and the other threew vamps clamped
their teeth on their poor unsuspecting necks.

When xander and Angel finshed fighting, bioth very close to death they
noticed thhat Buffy and Giles were missing. "Where are the others?"
trhey asked each ohter. Then Buffy WIllow and Giles walked in. They
were vampires. "Now we can all be together for all eternity." Giles
said to Angel to Xnader. Angel and Xander looked at each other. Angel
smiled. "I've still got Buffy." he said to Zander walking over to her.
Buffy
looked up at ANgle and smiled. They together walked out of the
house ready to hunt. Xander shook his head and took Willow's hand.
Willow smiled. "You still have me." she said and they followed Buffy
and Angel out the door. Giles looked after his frineds and after a
moment followed them out. "I wonder if Ms. Calendar would mind being
a vamp." he asked himself as he walked out of the house and into the
night.

@ Old Andy: I guess we're both shameless then, eh? I've read a good chunk of Memories and think you're a really good writer. I even nominated "Memories" for best fallout fanfic of 2010, a long time ago. . .though its not really flash fiction as its length is approaching that of "A Song of Ice and Fire." :lol:

A great read anyways.

P.S.: Guests can't see your sig

Here's a 6S I wrote recently:

Spoiler

THE DIALOGUE OF HEARTBREAK

It always starts the same: denial. “There’s no way this could be ending, things are still going well – just last week, we…”

When the head won’t comply, the body begins to physically insist. The stomach clenches, the throat tightens in nausea, and tears are on the brink of bursting forth with any uttered word.

The mind firmly refuses until the body manages to deprive itself of food and sleep for so long, that the truth must be accepted in undeniable epiphany. The anxiety peaks, hands trembling and sweat dripping from everywhere when finally the mind does what it should have done earlier – forces the index finger to twitch appropriately and click SEND.
