Just a suggestion, but could there be a microfiction section? Say for less than 500 words? Sometimes I have some time to read, but not that much, and shorter flash would be a quick read.
That’s an interesting idea. I can easily add a field to the collector for that, but it would rely on authors reporting the length of their entries.
