flash fiction thingy at Nature magazine

[ritaxis]

Where did I see the details of the flash fiction thingies at Nature? I have an idea that I think belongs there and I want to check if it does. If it doesn't, I still want to do it, but I'll find another home for it, maybe.

If it'll help, the stories are published as "Futures", and Nature calls them "short-shorts".

Thank you. Now I've found the place where they're kept, but it would cost me $30 to read one online. I have to wait till I go to the Science Library up at the University.

And I still want tofind the guidelines.

Here (http://www.concatenation.org/futuresindex.html) are some of the stories.

The relevant bit is "Unsolicited contributions are not considered for Futures." You could always query, I suppose. Worst they could say is, "Didn't you read the guidelines? We don't take unsolicited Futures."

Yes, I figured that out probably at the moment you were posting. I knew there was a reason I had put it out of my mind when I first read aboiut it. Well, I think other places might be appropriate. More appropriate, too.

Thanks !
