2025

A very Merry Christmas to all our contributors, past, present and especially future. It will be a happy New Year – let’s press on and make Volume One a 2026 publication!

The financial re-homing of the project has now been completed, so we are open for business again! Expect to see some promotional bits and bobs on social media in the near future. Meanwhile if you fancy a break from writing Xmas cards, amuse yourselves by penning a piece of (seasonal?) flash fiction…

Since the last update, in order to lighten the onerous load on Bruce we have been busy ‘re-homing’ the 256 Stories project – viz. transferring the administrative operations of the project from North Devon to South Devon, and tweaking the website. This has necessitated pausing promotional publicity for a while, and consequently there has only been a small trickle of additional stories into our Inbox. However in the coming weeks we intend to ramp up publicity and attract a steadier stream of submissions.

Meanwhile we are very much open for business, so do please send in your stories and author notes, and spread the word to your fellow writers.
