Jon Strother, founding father of FridayFlash said recently:
“I have decided to start the Fabulous Flash Award to spotlight some folks I feel deserve recognition for their, well… fabulous flash fiction.”
Well I was given the award by the very lovely and super awesome Sam of Future;Nostalgic, a fellow Northerner and wonderful writer. I love reading his work, and I can’t thank him enough for the recognition, but now it’s my turn to hand the award on! A lot of my favourite writers have already received it, and there is so much wonderful work out there that it’s difficult to choose, but I shall endeavour to do my best..
Fabulous Flash Award Rules:
- acknowledge receiving the award in a blog post
- link back to the person who awarded it
- select four other fabulous flashers to receive the award to keep spreading the joy
- write one or two short lines explaining why you’ve chosen each recipient
- optionally (I know not everyone is on Twitter) tweet, “I just gave the Fabulous Flash Award to (name). They’re worth reading.” Include a shortened URL back to your post in the tweet.
I genuinely look forward to Fridays for reading Pamila’s newest piece. I love the way she paints such a vivid picture with her words, and having heard her read her work on AudioBoo, she also has the most wonderful voice for podcasting! I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy of her Bella Vista Motel book.
I met Adam through Write Anything’s Fiction Friday, and I love reading his work. He has such a delightful imagination, and such a wicked way with words, not to mention a nifty way with characterisation. Having gotten to know him on Twitter, he’s also a genuinely lovely chap.
Few people write horror, or action, as well as Carrie. This girl is also incredibly talented at writing cars, which so many people are terrible at! Her work is both creepy and accomplished, and I’m also proud to be taking part in the Chinese Whisperings project alongside her.
Tony’s work is a real treat to read, whether he’s writing superheroes or sci-fi, and his work is always so intelligent and well-constructed. He’s also a very nice chap, and I’m more than a little in awe of his work!
Thank you, Icy! This is a great collection of folks to be associated with.
I’m on vacation just now, with limited on-line life, so it’ll be a bit before I can respond properly.
Cheers!
Congrats to you and your picks!
Many thanks for the award, Icy. I feel very honoured, and indeed very humbled, to be included amongst a list of superb writers whose work I admire.
