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.

• 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.

• Ghost Festival by Jaryd Tookmanian
  

  A collection of 101-word short stories, sometimes interconnected and often out of order. They tend to be cynical, sarcastic, darkly humorous, and edging on noir.
