Dear all, this week our guest host is FlashDog stalwart Sal Page. She has gone beyond the realms of her daily pool report and invited you to join her in her watery kingdom so without further ado, take it away Sal: Water. What would […]
RESULTS – Microcosms 23
This week’s stories made judging an extremely close call, there was very little to choose between any of them and perhaps on another day, the results would have been in a completely different order. Although small, this week’s entries formed a great collection and for […]

Dear all, our guest host this week is David Ashton and this means you’ve had a close escape as I had been planning a ‘metal’ themed post – ho hum next time perhaps (although I have included a little treat at the bottom of this […]
RESULTS – Microcosms 22
Geoff back again – this time with my judge’s hat (wig?) on. It seemed like a good idea for a contest when I first thought of it… but the requirement to keep the famous last lines short, in order to fit the Microcosms one-armed bandit […]

Today’s contest is brought to you by Steph Ellis. (Thanks, Steph!) Sometimes you read a book because you feel you should. These books are often referred to as ‘classics’ and yes, many of them are shining examples of great literature. However, because reading is so […]
RESULTS – Microcosms 19
Again, my apologies for the delays. I know how difficult it is to wait. My life has been utter chaos, lately. But your awesomeness makes the contest worthwhile. Please, continue writing. Never stop. Things should slow down a bit for the next couple of weeks, […]
