Confluence!
Flash Fiction Fridays are still going well - So far we've had 22 people join the Google group that I set up for it, and we're getting, on average, around a half-dozen submissions each week - around 1/2 from Nano people, and the other 1/2 from people that aren't, as far as I'm aware, regular writers. There's been some really great pieces posted in the group so far
What's really interesting, though, is that for me the google group was something of an afterthought - I had originally thought it would primarily be a twitter thing, with people posting their stories on their blogs/websites and hashtagging them with #flashfictionfriday on twitter, but someone asked about having a dedicated space for them, and the google group was formed. Just this Friday, though, I learned that there's another twitter hashtag going around, #fridayflash, of people doing pretty much the same thing, and that one started only a couple of weeks before the one I started. I don't know if it's an example of synchronicity, or just coincidence, but either way I get a bunch of new fiction to read every week, so I'm not complaining :o)
