FLASH-JAM Instructions, please read before flashing Options

Responding to FLASH postings: suggestions

The idea of flash writing is to access the creative side of our brain, to break mental barriers and to experiment.

Flashes are written quickly (twenty to thirty minutes maximum). They are not intended to be complete nor polished pieces of work.

This is not a critique forum: flashes are not seeking ‘improvement’ nor ‘tightening.’

However, it would be useful to have feedback so that everyone can sense what ideas and visions readers are seeing. For example, I have found sometimes reviewers see messages of which I was unaware when I wrote my flash  but that make sense when pointed out to me.

So please give any interpretations you find, and do please say if any phrases sparkle and spring to life; but don’t mention parts which ‘need work.’

To experiment we need space and encouragement, rather than the more usual style of crit.

Hello all!

Yes, as is the tradition with Pandora's Chaos challenges, each participating member should post a 'NEW TOPIC' and title it as: MM Flash # xx by (membername) for each first stimulus. Within the body of their tile, they will of course post the outcome.

In this manner, each participant will have their own tile where others will reply with their interpretion of the output and hopefully offer friendly feedback as well.

ONLY the actual FLASH STIMULUS will be posted in the flash-leader's tile so that others who read it will NOT be swayed in their thoughts if other replies were in the same tile.

I look forward to FLASHING, MM style....
