Read the comments section for even MORE stories we just couldn’t fit in this issue.

We are now in December and there’s just 13 more days to get me your best story for TiF’s Annual Recap that’s coming January 15th, 2025! I have received 125+ stories so far but as there are more than 300 of you, that is truly a small number. I’m nearing the end of my reminders and after that it’s gonna be up to you to get me your favorite fiction story that you wrote this year.

I want to say Thank You to everyone who has reached out, either on Substack Notes, or in my DMs to either see how I’m doing or to tell me how much Top in Fiction has helped your growth and networking. That is what TiF is here for and whatever I can do to further that positive outlook and growth, I am here and willing to do it.

I wanted to share with you an update on our TiF Discord Server, but an even more important bit of news has come up so that will have to wait. Instead, I was asked by the King of Dosing,

Miguel S.

, to participate as a judge alongside

Hanna Delaney

in a microfiction contest he’s got going this month and I’m both honored and excited!

So, if you write microfiction as we do and love it as much as we do, get your thinking caps on and submit a story now! I look forward to reading your best work. You can find the details below:
