>Six Little Things

>
I don’t pay enough attention to online literary magazines, and I don’t really love reading long stories online. But “little things,”–short shorts, flash, prose poems–those I can read, and there are some good zines around that specialize in those (Smokelong Quarterly comes to mind). And now I’ve become aware of a new-ish one, Six Little Things, which publishes just 6 “little things” (very little–around 250 words each) in each issue, all devoted to the same theme. Issue 4 is up now and you’ll have to hunt around for the archives, but it will be worth it. I may have to send in something for the next issue . . .
