At the Nebula Conference I moderated a panel on flash fiction with wonderful panelists Trevor Quachri, Cat Rambo, John Wiswell, and A.T. Greenblatt. (If you missed the panel, check out the SFWA tweets in this thread for highlights.)
I promised at the end of the panel that I would post a list of all the recommended flash fiction stories that we talked about, so here it is:
- Indigo Blue by Rachael K. Jones
- Stars That Fall by Samantha Murray
- 43 Responses to “In Memory of Dr. Alexandra Nako” by Barbara A. Barnett
- Break by Mishell Baker
- They’re Made Out of Meat by Terry Bisson (also as a youtube video!)
- I Die a Little by Bo Balder

If you have a favorite flash fiction story that we didn’t talk about in the panel, feel free to leave it in the comments. Thank you to all the panelists and to everyone who attended!
I remember
Attending Your Own Funeral, an Etiquette Guide by Erica L. Satifka. -When it came out on Daily Scifi a couple months ago. I really liked it. To me it’s the best story on this little list you created.
I might of Rachel Swirsky story. I do like her work. Laura Pearlman story I might of came across before.
Nice job on the collection of flash stories.
