In the past, we've written about "Gimmicks" among publishers of flash fiction. These are special challenges to the author, such as writing a story with a specific word count, or embedding certain words in the story.
We have put together another list of sites that use restrictions and requirements to bring challenge and discipline to the craft of microprose.
Gooseberry Pie publishes pieces of exactly six sentences and no more than 400 words.
Five Minutes explores five minutes of a life in one hundred words
The Last Line is the companion to The First Line. There, all stories start with the same sentence. Here, they all end the same. Story length is 300-5000 words.
100 Word Story publishes stories of exactly 100 words.
A Story in 100 Words - guess what?
