Congratulations to everyone who made the cut for what will be a fab anthology!
Commiserations to those who missed this time; I've been there myself. Don't give up on those stories, we had to make some close calls.
Thanks to everyone who subbed - so enjoyed reading them all. #FlashFiction #NFFD
Thrilled that my story, Lotus, will be published in the forthcoming National Flash Fiction Day 2026 Anthology @natflashfictionday.bsky.social

It's just me, waxing lyrical about flash fiction, my favourite books, and what I love in a micro, ahead of this year's #nffd micro competition. Have a read, and think about sending something our way (you have 2 weeks!) 👇.
Spot-on tips from @mattkendrick.bsky.social 👇. Well worth bearing in mind if you're subbing (& ofc you are!) to @welkinprize.bsky.social & @natflashfictionday.bsky.social micro (100w max) comps, & the #NFFD anthology (500w max) - all now open. Keep it fresh & make your ending ring! #FlashFiction

The write In Prompt 2 National Flash Fiction Day 2025 - Orange badge
Blimey, I nearly bagged them all. This story fulfils the criteria of another prompt too but I’ll only claim this one.
I haven’t seen any other people on my timeline with badges - am I the only one seduced by free gifts and gold stars?

"Back even earlier, to the morning drive, tall pines waving in the dim morning light, whispering that today would be the last day. Go back further still."
Oh the longing in this story from @lyfaulk.bsky.social in @natflashfictionday.bsky.social #FlashFlood #NFFD
Live for #NFFD, an oldie! Thank you, @natflashfictionday.bsky.social!

Love the stella language in this #flashflood story by @bdiggswrites.bsky.social in @natflashfictionday.bsky.social #NFFD
Current status: sitting beside a swimming pool watching youngest practise dolphin kicks. It's approaching 1000 degrees & the fact I can't get in the water feels like a metaphor for today's duties preventing full immersion in #NFFD.
However, here's my contribution 😊
But these wide eyes that never close, like snakes or sharks. We are glass. Our babies see every withered promise, every muddy heart.
Such a powerful story from @claudiamonpere.bsky.social in
