Ah, as a newbie subscriber, I did up a submission for your Micro Flash call only to realize when I tried Submittable that I was three days late. Alas. I realize you have many submissions and a late submission is onerous. It was a good exercise, as I had to pare three pieces down to your 50 word limit. So, while I was disappointed, it was a useful exercise. I look forward to participating in other calls in the future.
Hi, Art. You may submit in the open flash category. Suggest in your cover letter that this was intended as a themed submission. Editors may review it under your intended category or review it as a submission in open call.
