New Year’s Eve Flash Bash: Here’s what you’ll find if you visit Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie, and check out my Flash Bash. A buffet table of 5 sorts of flash fiction to sample. Why not stop by and join the party – it will go past midnight to be sure.
Welcome to a New Year’s Eve Flash Bash. Tonight, I’m offering up a buffet table of flash fiction for you to sample from. I hope there is one that piques your interest.
Flash One: In 25 words or less: Using one of the photos provided, write a story in 25 words or less. Beginning, middle and end.
Or Flash Two: Tweet-tweet: Using one of the photos provided, write a tale of no more than 142 characters (thanks to Kat of like mercury colliding and her Twittering Tales for inspiration). Use this handy character counter when composing.
Or Flash Three: Selfies from the Edge: Take a selfie, post it and a piece of flash fiction (100 to 150 words) based on your picture. Include the selfie in your post.
Or Flash Four: Traditional Fare: Using one of the photos provided, write a story of 100 to 150 words. (Thanks to Priceless Joy of FFfAW, Rochelle Wisoff-Fields of Friday Fictioneers, and Al of Sunday Photo Fiction for inspiration)
Or Flash Five: Pot Luck: Choose a photo (yours or someone else’s – give accreditation) and write a piece of flash fiction 75 to 200 words based on the photo.
You’ll be able to link up to the prompt page and click on a Mr. Linky connection.
Since this is my party, my rules, you can submit your flash bash entries after midnight. And, one more champagne-induced indulgence: 75 to 200 words will work fine tonight – I’ll be counting down not up!
The idea is to have fun with a few different forms of flash – only a sampling of the many that are out there in the creative blogosphere.
Wishing you a bright, brilliant and flash{y} 2017. Let’s write together.

Thinking of incorporating some of these as alternatives into my Finish off Fridays. Looking to use ones that aren’t copying what other’s are doing exactly. Like 25 words or less, Selfies, and maybe a word to use rather than a sentence to finish.
Glad you like the buffet table fare.
