The main side effect of the Penny Arcade bump for Ommatidia has been a notification avalanche–via email or Technorati–of other people who have started (or were already doing) tiny story blogs in a similar vein. I think this is awesome, but honestly I lose track of which site is which, and even I can only read so much blink fiction in a day.

So here’s an offer: if you’re doing tiny stories on some sort of schedule, email me with a link and a little summary and I’ll add you to this directory page. I am not promising to be a subscriber to all of them, for the aforementioned reasons, but I will go through once a month to check them all, maybe make a recommendation, and clean out the dead ones.

The following list is ordered according to a furtive and arcane system that I’m not telling you how it works.

• The Fabian Society by Andrew Cole

  Andrew lies. He lies so much. It is lucky I enjoy his lying, because he occasionally writes about Ahasuerus, the flip side of Longinus.

• Minor Delays by Holly Gramazio
  

  A very short story about every stop on the London Underground, in alphabetical order. Sometimes historical, sometimes whimsical, often deliciously dark and always worth reading.

• The Two Minutes Project by Greg Carere and Max Woghiren
  

  Comprising Greg’s daily drabble blog and Max’s thrice-weekly song engine, neither of which is about to tell you exactly what they were up to last night, although they’re not hiding the bruises either.

• Stories tagged “101 words” by the members of Open Salon
  

  Somyr Perry, a person of fine taste and character, plugged Ommatidia for her friends at Open Salon and framed it as a challenge. The idea spread as fast as one of those things that spread very fast on the Internet!

• Attention Deficit Fiction by Danny Fast, Pieter Van Tatenhove and Tyson Wright
  

  Three times the word-length! Three times the authors! THREE TIMES THE POWER!

  …of microfiction!

• Brief Conceits by Eric Hamilton
  

  Eric mixes 101-word stories with cartoons and one-sentence story collections on his blog. And he’s better at the I-before-E thing than I am.

• Static Digits by Daniel Jones
  

  Stories from the devil’s workshop. But you were always curious about what he was doing in there anyway, weren’t you?

• Hyperlink Your Heart by Kevin Houlihan
  

  Short science fiction from the present day to the post-singularity.
