A new hope
Written by: FlashFiction
Hello friends old and new!
For old friends, as you know I moved back to http://foolishnessofthings.blogspot.com as my personal blog.
It was for the reason that I always wanted to make this site as a writing portal where people could interact and share their work.
I love taking part in writing contests (especially Jason's). Not because of the prizes(Okay, lil' tiny bit because of the prizes), but primarily for the following reasons:
1. You get to meet and interact with fellow writers in one common place and read their work.
2. You learn a lot by pointers/constructive criticism offered by folks who know what they are talking about.
3. You get to read such varied takes from everyone on one single prompt.
I've created this site for the same three reasons I mentioned above. No there is no contest here though (Yet!) and no prizes to be won.
We'll have a new prompt in every 15days and every one will have 15 days to write a fiction/poetry piece on it.
The idea is to get better in good company and spreading some love. 
You can treat this as practice/play ground for competing with the mean and nasty world of talented writers out there. 
- I do not intend to put up any adds or make money out of this site in any way.
- No mails would be sent to your mail ids, unless you are subscribed to the site.
- No content posted here would be published in any form, anywhere else without its Author's consent.
Q. Who can participate?
A. Anyone who feels like giving it a shot! In fact, I'm counting on quite a few to do so.
Q. How do you submit a post?
A. Go to the side panel to register/sign in to the site. Once you've registered, you are officially an author for the site.
You'll see a dashboard where you can create/edit your posts on the site. You can also edit your profile there.
Q. Whats the catch for me?
A. Like most writers, I love to read good stories/poetry. Paying for the domain/hosting space is a small price for reading your work.
Some good Karma would do me good too after all those sins I've committed.
So sign up and become a part of your site. Help others who need it. And enjoy yourselves.
Feel free to contact me on: aniket.thakkar@gmail.com if you have any queries/suggestions/rants or just wanna spread some love.
Keep thinking of interesting prompts. Also since I don't do much photography or painting, would be counting up to you guys to donate pictures.
Looking forward to some great writing and support from you all.
Yours truly,
Aniket Thakkar.

Me and a few friends do a Monday Flash Fiction prompt on our blogs, then post our responses on Friday. It’s a lot of fun reading how different we interpret a picture. I did do one of the contest prompts over at Clarity of Night. It was a while ago though. I’m looking forward to participating here as well!
I’m glad you found your way here. I’d surely visit the Monday Flash Fiction prompt. I kept a 15 day prompt, because that’s what my friends and I could realistically do, when I started this site.
Now, even that is hard to keep up with. May be your place would turn out the kick I need to stop complaining about the busy life and spend some more time on writing.
You might find some old Clarity Of Night friends here. They show up every now and then to share some love.
See you around!
Well, I can’t say that I’ve participated in every one of the prompts
. I didn’t do any through November and December. Life does get busy sometimes, totally understandable. I have a feeling I won’t be doing my entry for this week, which is due tomorrow.
I think every 15 days is realistic, keeps the pressure down also.
That would be fabulous if you wanted to take a peek sometimes and see what prompt we have for the week. We have fun doing it.
