I was home sick today so I though I would give this flash fiction thing a try. I, too, have no unicorn collection (slams closed the drawer of unicorn bookmarks, and stands strategically in front of the display cabinet with the Venitian glass unicorn).
My story, Initiation, appears at
http://youlearnsomethingeveryday-eponymous.blogspot.com/2011/07/initiation.html
Wow, that is cumbersom to write out. And I don’t know how to make it a link. But I really want to win those books; so cut, paste, and enjoy!

I don’t think I’ll be able to do this one, it’s not ticking in my head but I thought I’d post a link to the Cluny museum in Paris

http://www.musee-moyenage.fr/homes/home_id20393_u1l2.htm

The museum hosts a collection tapestries showing unicorns. The images are pretty famous also because Georges Sand wrote about them.

Sounds good. I’ll try it again this week if I have time…

Never done this before. Eeeeeee.

I will post my own story later, but I’d like to give a shout out to the best unicorn story I ever read: “Princess Pretty Pants” by Meg Cabot in the Zombies Vs Unicorns anthology. Seriously, awesomest unicorn ever.

Like Natalie, I was home sick today.

Here you go. Must first Flash Fiction entrant, my first (and potentially last) story about unicorns:

I’m now going to see what everyone before me came up with now. I’m sure I’m going to have some fucked up dreams tonight.

Dear all

This is my entry, entitled “Mythical Revenge” Do let me know your thoughts! I’ll be sharing mine about yours. Looking forward to next week’s challenge, as always.

Thanks,

Michael

(Psst, R.S.W. and Tara — Crazy thanks for your kind words, guys, and sorry I made it so difficult to comment! I hadn’t even thought about adding a comment box to that shiz.)

Okay, this was tough but fun (tough, because I’ve not written a lot of fantasy stuff. Um, or really any.). It was a blast. Please enjoy:

I know you’re all waiting for my story. Have patience; I had to do some research, because it’s important to be accurate.
Generally, I don’t read anyone elses story until after I post mine, to make sure I don’t accidentally take any ideas.

Come one come all, harken unto the tale of the fate of unicorn kind and um some other shit. I give you “Rise of the Donkeycorns”: http://wilamory.blogspot.com/2011/07/rise-of-donkeycorns.html

BAM.

Hi Chuck, first time flasher (?) Here is my Unicorn challenge Flash, sorry about the language, but its from the horse’s mouth – http://wp.me/px2EF-6S

This is a little bastard of a story and not for the squeamish. Seriously.

http://epicureaninkblot.wordpress.com/2011/07/27/everybodys-gotta-love-sunshine/

Travis Cole, Quinn – I can’t access your story, your site doesn’t load. Is the link correct? Does it work for others?

Tumblr peeps, still can’t comment on your stories to tell you how good they are. Psibreaker, your story was very entertaining.

Hilary Monahan – that was the best thing I’ve read in quite some time! Thank you so much for sharing it!

I feel like the quality of stories here just get better and better with each round.

It’s not exactly subtle, but it’s something a little different.

There we go. This should work just fine!

No story in me, but this is something else.. It won the parallel lines contest .

Contest rules were a short file using 6 lines of dialogue.
“What is that?”, “It’s a unicorn”, “Never seen one up close before”, “Beautiful”, “Get away, get away”, and “I’m sorry”.

This all put me in mind of Vonnegut’s “The Unicorn Trap.” Awesome, awesome story.

Hello, your story on this site really have me interested up to the last word, so I just had to comment on it. I have been looking for that topic, finally found your story! First informative post, but you should check some columns for some spam. Just a hint or use Akismet or alike. I’m running it on my blog and it kicks a**! Back on topic: took me time to read all the comments, but I really enjoyed the article. It proved to be very helpful to me and I am quite sure to all the commenters here! It’s always useful when you can not only be informed, but also entertained! By chance I found it through the Aol Search and I must confess to you I hardly read the complete post of a blog since I more or less always get bored of the “gossip” that is presented to me on a daily basis. But since it’s already a little older, any updates on that topic? Have looked but couldn’t find anything! Any tips would be a lot appreciated. To sum up: thank you and please please offer more of this. I’ll surely come back and look for new stories! Go on!! See yah
