June's Flashy Fiction Thread

We had our writing prompt party earlier this month. Now it’s time for you to do three things:

WRITE, READ, and RESTACK!

1. WRITE and share your story based on the June Prompt:

2. READ the other stories shared in the thread, and

3. RESTACK the stories you read in Substack Notes to expand the discoverability of all the participants in this prompt party! (One of my fav ways to do this is by highlighting a favorite sentence and restacking with that. More about restacking here.)

The rules:

• You must have a Substack page

• Your fiction MUST be written to the prompt in the previous post.

• Your fiction must not exceed 1,000 words.

• We will only read Substack or view-only Google Doc links, in other words…

• This thread is for LINKS ONLY*

• Post by 11:59 Eastern time Friday, June 30, 2025

What happens next:

• You read the stories shared in this thread and share them (New to restacking? See this article.)

• We read the stories in this thread an share them

• The other participants read the stories in this thread and share them

• All participants enjoy expanded exposure for their story and fiction Substack pages!

*Note: Please use this thread for links and likes only—share your comments with the writers on their Substack page OR in your Note when you restack them!
