We had 55 stories in the Collector this week with 1 Debut. Please welcome Andrew Flynn to the community. The stories this week fall under 13 different genres, including one each in Literary and Non-Fiction and two each in Cross-Genre, Magical Realism, Romance, Suspense, and Thriller. What a wonderfully diverse community we have!

We hope you will give one or more of our FFDO Groups a try. Read about them in my recent post, Groupies Wanted, No Experience Required. [See what I did there? ] The Group functions are available to all FFDO members which means that if we do not already have a group for something you are interested in, you can start your own. It is fun and it is free and we even have a Sandbox where you can play around and learn. There is also a friendly group where you are welcome to drop by for some conversation. Come on. You know you want to.

And remember to keep the community news flowing through our weekly News Flash.

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 report. ~Tim
