Just a notice for any flash fiction writers out there looking for a place to hone their skills between and in addition to Anotherealm's flash contests: I was recently named the flash fiction editor at Aphelion Webzine and we run a monthly genre flash contest too.  It's a little buried, but if you look in the "fun and games" folder in the forum at www.aphelion-webzine.com you'll find it. Otherwise here's the link to our current challenge: http://www.aphelion-webzine.com/newforum/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=12913#p67401

Our topic for the August contest which was just posted on Sunday is "Science Fiction Pirates."
