Just a quick update to say Flash Fiction Online (http://flashfictiononline.com) is live tomorrow. A forum, three short-short fictions (illustrated by yours truly), a writing contest, tips for writers, links to other short fiction sites, workshops, Oliver House's cutting blog, and soon a staff blog will all be available...for free!
See you there.

Flash Fiction Online
Flash Fiction Online is very close to being up and running. Jake just needs to clean a few details up and presto, we're a force to contend with. Bruce Holland Rogers will be the first professional flash featured, Suzanne Vincent will share the table of contents as the semi-pro, and the classic story--the Flash From The Past--will be H. P. Lovecraft. What an inagural line-up, eh? I just finished the second of three illustrations for the flash stories (Suzanne Vincent's I Speak the Master's Will), and am going to be pushing it to get the third one in. But, as everyone knows, I'm not one to let the job go unfinished. Unless it's a personal painting, LOL, then it can go up to a year without being signed. I think everyone involved is excited--I know I am--and the buzz has been injected into Liberty Hall, too.
FFO is sponsoring Mike's Liberty Hall Year End Contest (which is usually for a prize), with the possibility of publication. It's looking to have the making of some stiff competition. I think that, were it left to the slush readers, it would be a difficult choice. I'm glad (as one of said readers) that the contest will produce a winner first.
Mike has also put a new face on Liberty Hall, along with an online store.
There is a forum on FFO, that Jake got up and running today. Though there are still a couple of bugs to work out, it's pretty cool. I have no doubt that it will be a virtual beehive of activity, once things kick off (the tentative date is Dec 1). So, come Saturday, look for it at http://flashfictiononline.com . And enjoy.
All writers will benefit from a visit.

Exclusivity
Just a quick update, since I have once again been remiss:
I am the exclusive artist (bearing the title "Art Director") for Flash Fiction Online. Eventually, I'd like to be an accredited author also, but the widening of my art credentials is a small ego boost. I need all of those I can get.
Meanwhile, the collaboration has picked back up. The both of us have had other projects, but now--on my end, at least--that's clearing up. My own work-in-progress (the expanded Pantroth story) is on hold. I have had a burst of ideas, but, I'm allowing them to coalesce during the first draft of my share of the collaboration.
I'm letting The Third Rule cool off. When I hit that again, I want to go in fresh--and with no predispositions. I've had a lot of valuable feedback, and have to step away before applying it (or figuring out how to apply it). I still believe in the story, though, now I'm intending to look at it as more of a detailed outline. Heythose are the breaks.
As for Magnum Opus, I'm going to give that an overhaul, too. I think I'm going to focus on some fantasy elements and then send it out to RoF. Wish me luck.
