...and to conclude the 2026 award season, our @altcurrent Best Small Fictions nominations!

Yes, #BSF has a 1000 word max, & Doric Literary has a 1000 word min, but neither is a stickler.

Cheers to Diamond @SunshineDees #PatriciaQBidar & #MegPokrass!

@offbeatlit Hi. Sorry for the slow response. We're never on this app anymore. 😬 Not sure why you're getting any kind of under-construction page. Shouldn't be any problem; nothing wrong on this end. BSF is always in the same place and linked in our website menu. https://t.co/r4UK0oabsr

[Ink In Thirds @InkInThirds]

BSF @altcurrent Congrats & good luck!

My Sweeney Todd-inspired poem "Don't I Know You?" will be appearing in the "How to Hang the Hat" anthology from @altcurrent! Can't wait to share my Sondheim tribute in this cool anthology.
