First, I want to thank everyone for helping spread the word and participating in the contest. We had an amazing turnout this year, with just under 650 stories submitted, which isn’t too bad considering the contest was open for just two weeks. The past two years there have been 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners [...]

I wasn’t at my computer at midnight to close comments and take away the alternative submission form (though two writers did try to sneak through an hour or two after the deadline but which have since been deleted).

In the last four days, just over 200 stories have been submitted to the Hint Fiction contest, the majority of those done via the alternative submission form. I haven’t really sat down and read the stories closely yet, but I’ve been glancing at them as they come in, and it’s interesting to note that a [...]

Hint Fiction is, I guess, my baby, and like all babies, you’re supposed to look out for and take care of them, right? So whenever Hint Fiction is mentioned around the Webosphere, I’m usually aware of it. Oftentimes people mention the anthology or might even quote a story from the anthology, but when they do [...]
