As promised, this is the 2008 round up of my Friday Flash Fiction.
I thought about doing it by traffic but – if you cast your eyes to the right – I already run a “Top Ten by Traffic” and I’ve just updated it (probably the last time until the new year). Admittedly this includes 2007 stories but I’ve produced more flash this year than last and so the list wouldn’t be all that different. Of more interest, and hopefully offering them a second outing traffic wise, I thought would be a list of my favourites. So here goes:
1.Remembering Lisa – 28/11/2008
2.Touched – 30/05/2008
3.Descent – 27/06/2008
4.When – 10/10/2008
5.Talking Apes – 1/08/2008
6.Silverlight – 31/10/2008
7.Territory – 18/04/2008
8.Faraway – 04/04/2008
9.Pixies – 11/04/2008
10.After The Rain – 08/02/2008
There were a few others that I pondered putting in, namely: Avan, Blink and Blood and Snow. You can check out GLP’s pick for his own F3 here and Shaun C. Green’s pick for his own F3 here.
So did you have any favourites that didn’t make it onto my list?
You are constantly experimenting and pushing your own boundaries – this is a good list, Neil.
Cheers Gareth.
Apparently I missed ‘Remembering Lisa’ when you first posted it. I’m glad to have had the opportunity to read it – it’s a poignant, bittersweet slice of SF (three of my favourite things, then).
I’m also glad to see some of my other favourites such as ‘Talking Apes’, ‘Territory’ and ‘Faraway’ on there. It’s been a good year for you!
