RESULTS – Microcosms 36
Thank you to all who waited patiently for inspiration in order to post their entry in Microcosms 36. The number of submissions fell slightly: perhaps some of you were intimidated by my making the theory about seeing everyone you’ve ever known a prompt for your stories. Nil desperandum: please keep […]
Microcosms 36
Welcome back, flash-fictioneers, to your hebdomadal fix of Microcosms. What delights await you? In my teenage years, my reading matter was almost exclusively sci-fi. I usually have very poor retention of details of books, films, etc., but one thing that has stayed with me from “Mindswap” […]

Thank goodness Friday comes round only once a week! How to come up with another contest for Microcosms… I’m so glad that I managed to brow-beat this week’s judge, A J Walker, into being guest host as well. Take it away, AJ: Normally at this time of year I’m off […]

Microcosms 33
It’s August! OK, I admit it has been for some time now; but your host doesn’t even get out in daylight these days, with – cue the violins! – all the burdens of Microcosms administration, let alone get to go away on holiday… August – certainly in […]
RESULTS – Microcosms 32
Thank you to all who made 12th August even more glorious in Microcosms 32. A smaller number of submissions this week; maybe the Olympics are a distraction, but submitting an entry late or even submitting an entry to the wrong contest certainly didn’t help. Please keep returning to […]
