I've just won a very short, short fiction competiton (max 250 words)!  This is a flash fiction comp run by someone I know from Pantechnicon, David Brookes. If you'd like to read my winning entry in the first of what will be monthly competitions, go to his site at www.spinninglizard.co.uk/click on the "stories" tab at the top then click where it says "competition winners" on the left My story was inspired by a rather unpleasant nightmare I had some time ago - hope you enjoy it! ;D Please have a look round David's site while your there (he's a nice chap, and did some superb editing work for us on the last issue of Pantechnicon) - but be warned, he's more of a sf/fantasy fan than a horror one!  |

Thanks, Craig. I guess it doesn't really seem like much to shout about, but I'm particularly pleased as it's a bit of a turning point for me regarding fiction writing. I got my first short story published just a couple of years ago, had a little run where I got a few published, and then I haven't really done anything fiction-wise for over a year until this one. So I'm thinking perhaps it might herald the start of me writing (and, hopefully, publishing) stories again! My first love is still interviewing other writers though (and the odd film director). |

Personal not - can we please stop calling nots of personal sucess "shameless plugs" ? Because then this entiere forum would be one, and I do so loathe to say so , but should I obtain such a triumph, I will be sure to gloat on it to the utmost extent of my earthly powers .

lob. You have to get into the English self effacement if you are going to write in English. People from the UK and Ireland do this self deprecatory stuff by nature. Shameless plug is a code for - Brilliant, look at me, managed to get a goody published. i feel top about this and I want to sare it with my peers while at the same time not appearing to have too swollen a head.
