Hi!
I fancy having a go at this flash non-fiction. After today's discussion though I'm wondering is there a set way we have to do this? Or can it be any short non-fiction piece that relates to time or flux etc?

I'm intending to start mine with the definition of a word followed by a few sentences depicting a true story.

Okay, how long roughly? I was thinking more along the lines of dipping in and out of a factual piece.
I had a look to see what the Fluxus movement was and it is actually quite relevant, I might do something about that

Okay, thanks! Been looking at an online journal called brevity which is short creative non fiction and wasn't sure if it was that kind of thing or not

I'm starting to be drawn to the idea of doing a wee bit of flash non-fiction, but could it be flash fiction as well?

Hi David, so you mean you would write a flash faction?
The only problem I can see with this is it might blur the line between the fiction flash and factual flash pieces. If you're commenting on the blurred line between myth and reality that could be cool.
What kind of piece do you have in mind?

well how do you tell the difference between fiction and non fiction whether flash or not?

I don't have a specific idea in mind, I was just wondering.
Yeah, how would we actually present the non-fiction flash pieces as non-fiction? Surely they could be made up and presented as real like any story?
