Formatting
Make sure your story has exactly 101 words. Strangely, a lot of people get this wrong. The title of your story does not count towards the total word count. Hyphenated words are considered one word. Don't use that as a crutch to cheat. Don't trust the word count in your word processor. Hyphenated words, em-dashes etc. will trip up your word counter. Word counters should be used as a guide while writing and counted manually before submitting.
Author's rights
You retain all rights to your work. However, we kindly ask that you not publish your story online—including your own website. This is not a “rights” issue, Google does not like duplicate content. If your story is selected for one of our anthologies, your rights will be slightly different. If that happens, you will be emailed a formal contract to review and sign. We will not publish without your consent.
Additional info
We pay $10 (USD) for stories selected to be in Flash Fiction Magazine anthologies. We do not pay for stories published on our website.

The limitation concept stuck with me, and I started 101 Words in December 2005. In those early days, I only poste...
