Three: Let the Year Begin!

As of yesterday, we’ve wrapped up yet another year of 365tomorrows (for a grand total of 730 tomorrows, I believe, but as a liberal arts major, I might be wrong) and today launches us into our third. We’ve got a number of changes to announce, from the new site itself (design provided by Steve Van Rooy and produced by Steve Smith with 3D graphics provided by Moebius) to shifts in staff, and we’re certain we have an exciting year ahead of us.

J Loseth will be leaving us this year, but we’re bringing on three regular contributors as staff members: Sam Clough, Duncan Shields, and Patricia Stewart. All three have made excellent contributions to the site so far, and we’re looking forward to seeing them more often. You can usually find our new staff members (and some of us old ones) milling around the forum, so pop over to get to know them.

As it did last year, 365 runs on both staff writing and user submissions, so please, keep those stories coming! We’ve upped the word count to 600 or fewer words, but while we used to play fast and loose with the limitation, it’s now a firm rule.

We’re all really excited about this coming year, and we’ve got a few more surprises in the works. Thanks to you, we’re the most popular daily flash fiction site on the web. It means a lot to us to see how many people visit the site and to hear feedback from our readers in the forums (hint, hint), and without you, we might not have survived as long as we have. So thank you, from the bottom of our writerly hearts, and we hope you’ll enjoy what we have in store.
