I am thinking of writing a series using only micros, meaning 100 words at a time. Each micro would (hopefully) be stand-alone. But I think I read here once that you can’t do a series of micros. I agree it would be difficult to pull off well. Mods?
Tintinnabulation - first place (Free Spirit)
Comet Q - second place (Quick and Risqué Sex)
Amnesia - third place (Le Noir Erotique)
I would be interested to see it.
A woman goes shopping in the local mall. But what the heck is she shopping for in that outfit? My Festive Flash comp entry.
It is not allowed. I have tried. The best you can do is use recurrent characters, but only in stories that are not otherwise linked.

Yeah, I thought I remembered something like that. If you couldn't break through that wall, no one can

You could thematically link them. That would work. If there's no obvious follow-on from one to the next, it's fine.
What we're trying to avoid in Flash and Micros is someone telling a single story 100(0) words at a time: chapter 1, 2, 3, ... Anything else is fair game.
