And now something special for this year's event Flash Fiction! The Themes are: A Horse for Christmas, An Elf For Christmas etc.

The rules are the same except for the word count, which is a Maximum of 500 Words!

As always, this event is open to all readers and authors. 

Happy Writing,

We are very happy to announce that all of the stories submitted to this year's Christmas Short Story Event are ow live! So get busy reading.

It seems that The Story Lower with the help of Jeff P. has revived an old Fort Family Tradition with their version of Twas The Night Before Christmas, it is a bit different from the original, but still fun to read.

Happy reading,

Attention Everyone,

Due to my throwing my back out loading Santa's Sleigh, I have moved the Deadline to Wednesday, December 23rd at Midnight PST (Pacific Standard Time). That way my Elven Editing Team and I, will have time to finish their edits and for me to make sure that all the stories get posted on time. Christmas Morning that is.

Have fun writing,
