	Riding the Meridian - Flashes on the Meridian
		Flash fiction is clearly a worldwide phenomenon, a mode of writing which seems particularly well-suited to our current fast-paced, often breathless lives, in which we still crave the insights good literature can bring.
		The writers of flash fiction also have a hand in helping to refine it, define it, and extend it, and such writing is constantly reconfiguring and metamorphosing before our very eyes.
		Such writing can include traditional or mainstream short-short stories as well as various other types such as American haibun, ghost stories, monologues, epistles, mysteries, myths, tall tales, fables, anti-fables, parables, romance, fairy tales, horror, suspense, science fiction, prose poetry, and more.

	Review of: Edith W
		In this manner, Clowes work "nominates" meta-utopian fiction for our political and intellectual sympathy: the works she examines are new heroes to replace the ones rendered uninteresting or discredited in recent years.
		Her arguments simultaneously draw out the significance of the works treated as critiques of utopian literary and cultural traditions and examine theoretical models addressing utopian writing (mostly of Western origin), revealing their shortcomings in application to meta-utopian writing and Russian political and cultural traditions.
		Clowes tendency to "heroize" meta-utopian fiction as a literary phenomenon corresponding to the rise of pluralist politics, as a statement of a correct model for social imagination, appears problematic in light of recent events in

	Hyper-What?: Some Views on Reader Discomfiture with Hypertext Fiction by Lawrence J. Clark
		Bernstein challenged his audience, which included hypertext systems designers and programmers as well as hypertext fiction authors, to create hypertexts that include elements of mystery, fun, satire, and even "inspired silliness." Another key issue that Bernstein noted is that in today's complicated, information-saturated world, what many people want is not more complication, but simplicity.
		I find that most hypertext fiction works I read today still have the same problem; this is one of the major complaints of my students, most of whom are being introduced to hypertext fiction for the first time.
		Most of these student readers, many of whom have never heard of--much less read--hypertext fiction, are not impressed with the complicated narrative structures full of endless loops and confusing paths that seem to dominate much of the hypertext fiction published to date.

	Arnzen Interview with FlashFictionFlash Newsletter, Mar 2003
		Flash fiction is just as interested in these things, but the plot is moving too fast for the writing to focus on them for very long.
		But because of the way fiction writing is presently reimbursed by word, there's less incentive for writers to try their hand at flash than longer works.
		The venues in which his flash fiction may be found are too numerous to mention here.

	Mahonri // Finding Light in the Darkness Interview: Anne Bradshaw
		Anne: I would say the biggest difference between writing short fiction and novels is the luxury of being able to develop descriptive narrative, and to dig deeper into each character, breathing more life into them.
		Anne: I consider myself an LDS author of LDS fiction, and am currently writing a smaller book of short stories for LDS teenagers.
		I believe tight writing is still important, and a fast pace prevents boredom, but the added length allows greater freedom, multiple plots, and fun with dialogue.
