Endings and Beginnings

by 

It seems like it’s been forever since I stopped at an abnormally long traffic light in my hometown and wondered why the internet has daily blogs, daily webcomics, and no daily fiction. 365 days after our initial launch, it’s safe to say that’s no longer true. 365tomorrows is the first daily flash-fiction site to complete an entire year, and although we’ve given you hundreds of stories, there are thousands more waiting to be told. Some will be ours, some will be yours, but you will never go without your daily fix.

We are, however, making a few changes.

In year two, Steve Smith will be joining the 365tomorrows staff as a contributing writer. Steve’s a fantastic wordsmith and a beacon of ideas, so we’re certain that you’ll love his work as much as we do. He’ll be replacing Jared Axelrod, who’s leaving to pursue his own projects. The rest of us (J Loseth, JR Blackwell, B York, and myself) are sticking around, though you’ll be seeing less of our work as we use submission content to introduce you new writers.

In case you missed our newspost about submissions, you can find all the information you’ll need through the “submit” button on the navbar above. We’re still accepting them, so hurry up and write!

We’ve had an excellent but challenging year, and I’m constantly astounded by the amount of audience support we’ve received. It hasn’t always been easy (wardriving at midnight during power outages, typing stories into cellphones) but it’s been fun, and we’re ready to go another round.

I’ve Seen Things…

365tomorrows launched August 1st, 2005 with the lofty goal of providing a new story every day for a year. We’ve been on the wire ever since.

Our stories are a mix of those lovingly hand crafted by a talented pool of staff writers, and select stories received by submission.

The archives are deep, feel free to dive in.

What is Flash Fiction?

"Flash fiction is fiction with its teeth bared and its claws extended, lithe and muscular with no extra fat. It pounces in the first paragraph, and if those claws aren’t embedded in the reader by the start of the second, the story began a paragraph too soon. There is no margin for error. Every word must be essential, and if it isn’t essential, it must be eliminated."
