Fiction Believed Defunct
Micro prose told in 420 characters or less (i.e. the max length of a FB status update) to be posted for the sheer joy of it. Weird? Okay. Funny? Okay. Mystery? Okay. Literary? Okay. Make it damn good. And read a couple before you submit. Besides that, just keep it R-rated.

I'm big on stories right now. But if you must, then do it in 140 characters or less (i.e. the max length of a Twitter update). Damn good still applies. Applies double, in fact. Go to it. Oh wait! Almost forgot. No Haiku! For the love of God. No Haiku!
