Dear Miss/Mrs Strong,
Recently I ran across an article you wrote on Helium on the topic of flash fiction. I would respectfully ask that you consider my rebuttal, posted at the URL in the postscript of this message.
Sincerely,

Hi Suzanne - how did you go with the Amazon competition? I tried to respectfully read the rebuttal above but could not open the URL. I wonder what it was about?
Hello
I haven't read it yet, either. I think it would be refuted my opinion on whether you can make a well rounded short story in micro fiction of 100 words. I think that almost becomes poetry, not prose.
However, I know there are many people who disagree about this and that is fine.
Flash fiction is fine, as it is longer than micro fiction - it falls between the 500-1200 words bracket.
I admit there are probably some talented people who can write an amazing piece in (50 words) short form. Basically that is what the above rebuttal is about.
I would rather continue to write than get weighed down in debate over these things.
