We had 54 stories in the Collector this week with 5 Debuts. Please welcome Natalie Bowers, Leigh Andrews, Elizabeth R.E., Lisa Lane, and Alex Tomlin to the community. The stories this week fall under 13 different genres; the most common this week are Slice of Life, Fantasy, and Horror. What a wonderfully diverse community we have!

If you missed Jon’s post about the first anniversary of the FFDO site, you can still catch it here and add a comment if you like. We are soliciting ideas to make the site ever better, so put your two cents worth in. (And if we offer you a penny for your thoughts, why does it sound like we both lose money on the deal?) We’ll be updating the I Write #FridayFlash Badge page next week. Look for details on Thursday.

As always, if your story is not in the listing below please go to the Collector and add the details. It will be in next week’s listing. ~Tim
