For Season Ten, we’ve mixed things up a little for the listener-led flash fiction episodes. Instead of writing to a single prompt as before, this time we challenged our flash-fiction-ers,to work to specific genres. And, just so it wasn’t too easy, each genre had three keywords which had to be included in the story. The stories we received are very varied and we think there’s something for everyone coming up in the forthcoming episodes.
