The Aphelion Flash Fiction Contest
We run a monthly flash fiction contest in the "Fun and Games" folder in Aphelion's forum. In the contest we
post a challenge with a specific theme and genre and participants write a flash story based on the challenge guidelines. The contest is a
great place to hone your writing skills, meet some fellow writers, receive some feedback, and possibly win a prize. New participants are
always welcome. Submissions for the contest are done through the forum. Flash stories from all of our previous contest challenges are
archived in the forum as well.
Over 500 stories are included in our archive. To start reading some of these great flash stories, check out either
Index 1 or Index 2.
