The #FridayFlash Report – Vol 4 Number 19
October 6, 2012 in FridayFlash Report by Tim VanSant
We had 49 stories in the Collector this week with 1 Debut. Please welcome Laura Heron to the community.
FFDO Correspondent Catherine Russell recently suggested that it would be helpful to readers if we had information about the length of the #FridayFlash entries. This week we added a field to the Collector allowing authors to do just that and you will find the info included in the Report below. If you have any comments on this or any other suggestions to improve our reports, please let us know.
On Monday we featured a guest post from Johanna Harness on the relaunch of the AmWriting Member Directory and associated sites. Also this week FFDO founder Jon Strother posted What’s on Your E-shelf?. Check out that article and the comments for suggestions on titles by current and former #FridayFlash authors that you can add to your reading list.
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
