There's a lot of online publications (Flashquake, Microhorror, etc), but I've just realised that most one-page stories in magazines are flash fic too. Women's Weekly and its ilk pay up to £150 for 700 good words, which kind stunned me.
Problem is, I still struggle to use flashfic as anything other than a writing exercise; I do character vignettes and scene setting, but nothing with a real plot. I sent my only decent (cosy) flash ghost story for Flashes in the Dark, and most women's mags don't take reprints. Time to go and play with the challenges, I guess!
