Flash fiction critiques requested

'Twasn't the night before Christmas, yet all through the forum not a creature was stirring... Where are all you flashers? =)

Just thought I'd take Sophia up on her offer and lay a discreet pointer to the 140 words I dropped into the P&R subforum a couple of days ago: The Messenger, ready and waiting for your comments and crit!

I can't get onto that sub-forum. I clicked your links and the links from the post before yours, and keyed in "flashed." ???

Odd, I can still access them. I've dropped a note into Tech Help in case there are shenanigans afoot.

Btw, I'm sure it was just a typo but the password you enter mustn't end with the full-stop, it's just "flashed"

Purge your cookies as in this the second post of this FAQ.

(The FAQ is about Share Your Work, but the principle is the same, though the password is different.)

Thank you.

I'm new to the forum. I will check out the room to see what's there.

I have a piece in that forum awaiting critique and feedback. I need much of it! It's the first short I've written in a long time and I'm planning on submitting it to a contest, so I'm on a deadline. Any feedback is very welcome.

I just posted in there last night... any crits would be greatly appreciated and the favor would be returned!

I love flash fiction...I'm super busy, but I'll critique as many as I can. I'm always happy to help

Beta reader needed for Romance Flash Fiction

I posted this in a different thread, but I found this one for Flash fiction and thought I'd post it here...I hope this is where it goes:

One of my biggest weaknesses as a writer is character motivation, and that is the one thing that is dragging me down in my first attempt to write a flash fiction romance story. I'm not sure if boredom is a strong enough motivation for my female heroine in this case, and I would appreciate some advice and pointers in solving this problem. I can send the first draft as a Microsoft Word Document or any other format if needed. Please send me a message via this forum or my Twitter page in my signature if you are interested. Here is a summary of my story:

Title: Crushed Flowers
Summary:
University student Shira Nelson has nothing to complain about. She lives on the other side of the city of Avalon's Golden Gate, nicknamed "Heaven," where the clean, wanted, and rich citizens reside. She has no reason to even wonder about the life on the other side of the gate...bet you can't guess its' nickname, and it's where the worst of the worst survive. Curiosity gets the better of her, though and it doesn't kill her. It leads her straight into the Devil's arms....and he's got much more than bewitching eyes and a spotty criminal past..

Length: A little over 1000 words so far (Flash fiction is supposed to be that short, from what I've read).

YOWFF 7 919 words - in Polished and Ready

You might want to put it in the main SYW section instead. It gets a lot more traffic.
