We’re hosting a flash-fiction (500 words) contest on Storiad. The winner gets to submit a full manuscript for consideration, and will receive a detailed critique. The winning stories will also be posted here and at the Storiad site. The theme is “Science in Fiction”– fiction about science, scientists, discoveries, technologies, green mouse brains, whatever you’ve got.
