Half-Flashed Fiction Contest A project of Postcard Poems and Prose (see other related projects). Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions. We provide the following information as an archive. About We may have been half-baked when we dreamed up this contest. (Perhaps half the wine had been consumed?) Anyhoo, we gathered up our half-wits and developed a theme. The theme is “Half” and entrants must use, interpret, or develop the concept of “Half” in some manner. How authors interpret the theme is up to them. Fees Notice: This project charges fees (or requires purchases) for all submissions.
