Neon & Smoke: Neon & Smoke | This Time Make it Smoky Gold Star Program Gold Star Free Tip Jar Option

Deadline: Sunday, September 20, 2026 11:59 PM CDT (in 10 days).

Neon & Smoke: Where genre meets literary and they fall hopelessly in love.
We're drawn to stories that grab us from the first line and don't let go.

Make us reach for the light.
Make us laugh.
Make us horny.
Make us uncomfortable.

Then take us deeper.

We want flash that breathes and bleeds. Characters who move, who choose, change, and fight.

Sometimes they are victorious.
Sometimes everything they touch falls apart.
