In all seriousness, I'm very unsure what direction this discussion is supposed to go. Like:
What's the difference between
sudden fiction
flash fiction
short-short stories
prose poetry
?
Is there supposed to be room in this form for anything like a plot? or is the writer advised to go after a gimmick, a punchline like a shaggy-dog story?
The term "ready for publication" has already surfaced a dozen times. Publication where? Is there any cash to be had, or prestige? What are the big contests?
