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.

Streaming Chat Shows
At the links below you can find archives of the live-streaming chat shows run by the Director of
HallowCon and myself. WARNING: Contains Language!
Showrunner: Joe McKeel
This show is best described as a group of friends hanging out at a science fiction/fandom convention in the hotel
lobby/bar and chatting with everyone that walks up. We October even have a guest or two. We start out with no topic. We spend two hours
chatting and reading comments. Many times we never know what we will talk about but we cover many topics. Many times a viewer tosses out a
comments and we will chase it down the rabbit hole.
But rest assured we had fun and hopefully you do too.

Showrunner: Dan L. Hollifield
A late night, after-hours chat show. The guests featured are SF&F writers, artists, musicians, comic book creators,
SMOFs, and members of fandom in general.
Usually, It either starts off slow and boring and picks up speed as guests join in, or it continues on at full speed
from whatever discussion was in progress on Stupid O'clock when that show ended. This thing can go on for hours once it gets rolling.
Guests are welcome to join at any time, but trolls will be punted for field goals. The content is somewhat PG, or even more adult, but is
intended to be entertainment for reasonably adult audiences.
