Sailing the Shipping Seas

It is Flash Fiction Friday, time to celebrate!

✨ New to FFF? Let us fill you in!

Flash Fiction Friday is a fun writer event that’s meant to inspire, share and connect writings of all genres and writers of all ages. It’s designed to make people want to write, especially if they’re feeling blocked. Everyone and everything is welcome! We always do our very best to keep the prompt’s genre open, entertaining, positive and encouraging.

✨This is how it works:

Write between 100-1000 words. It can be any genre, in any text format and 18+ is fine by us — but tag your works with any appropriate content warnings and let the reader know what they’ll find before they get the chance to read your work!

Use this Friday’s theme in your text, in any way you see fit. This means that your text is newly written for the prompt by you. We do not allow any contributions created or aided by AI/LLM.

Post on your tumblr blog and remember to tag us at @flashfictionfridayofficial​! So we’ll see it, read it and reblog it! (No need to ask for permission or to get added to a list to join in. Just write and have fun!)

The deadline is 24 hours after the prompt has been issued (12 pm CE(S)T).

Please post your entries as regular posts, not screenshots — or provide the text as a regular post as well. Let’s keep everything as accessible as possible!

New for the fanfic-writers among you: tag your fandoms correctly and remember we now have an Ao3 collection (‘FlashFictionFriday’)

We do not condone fiction, asks or comments that glorify: direct hostility, unconstructive critique, LGBTQIA+ hate, slurs, racism and/or general no-no behaviors.

✨ And now, the new prompt!

[ID: #FFF 369 Raise A Glass]

This prompt has been brought to you by someone who wishes to remain anonymous; thank you very much! Raise a glass to the victory! To the ones we've lost! To the dreams we dream and the nightmares we live! Whether the mood is carefree or somber, be it a wedding or funeral, we want to know why your characters are raising a glass! What are they toasting? How do they feel? Tell us all about it and WRITE!

You rescued my cat from a tree, but you also feel out the tree afterwords. I’m so sorry this is all my fault are you okay . You’re still cute though?

You dog always sneaks into my backyard at the same time every day.

I feed your dog once and now he likes me more than he likes you. I’m so sorry.

Your fucking cat keeps on stealing my spot on our bed and every time I try and lay down, it hisses at me. My back hurts from sleeping on the floor.

Your parrot spilled the beans that you like me. I’m so happy cause I really like you. Wait, should I be listening to a parrot?

I’m at the vet because my dog needs a checkup after it’s been sick for a while. Oh hello. You’re a very attractive vet. I wasn’t expecting that.

“Hey cute dog. Is someone is stuck in a well?” Aka Lassie situation.

Our dogs had babies together . I kinda wanna have babies with you. Wait what, did I say that out loud? Fuck.

I’M PRETTY SURE MY SNAKE GOT LOSE IN YOUR APARTMENT. PLEASE DON’T PANIC. HE’S REALLY NICE.

I work at pet smart and every 2 weeks when you get your paycheck, I see you buying more and more accessories for your hamster. I’m a little concerned about your finances.  

So yoU’RE THE ONE CONSTANTLY FEEDING MY DOG PIZZA. 

I work at a shelter and you walked in drunk and crying, saying “I just want to pet a dog. Is that so hard to ask for?” 

I was at your house for a party and kinda stole your dog? It’s a long story. I’m so sorry.

YOU LET YOUR DOG SHIT IN MY YARD AND YOU DON’T EVEN FUCKING PICK IT UP. HOW DARE YOU.

You parrot alwayS SCREAMS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. JESUS CHRIST.

My pet rat accidentally got out of it’s cage a few days ago and I’ve been really worried but then I heard you scream “RAT”

You’re getting really annoying about our strong Cat Vs. Dog debate. I kinda just wanna fight my mouth with your mouth.

Anyway apparently Mr. Eclipse made 5000 years' worth of solar eclipse graphics, which you can find the simpler versions of here

i got your back, and i always will

to draw this was a very impulsive decision
