We had 43 stories in the Collector this week. The stories this week fall under 12 different genres, including one each in Experimental, Literary, Noir, and Suspense. What a wonderfully diverse community we have!

The number of stories collected this week is a little lower than usual, but don’t you worry. That gives you more time to check out Free Fiction for the Bibliophile by FFDO Correspondent, Catherine Russell. Not only did Catherine present some terrific resources, but our intrepid readers are adding even more in the comments. We can keep you reading till your eyeballs dry up.

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
