Readers are discovering the power of FF to provide a complete, satisfying story that takes only minutes to read. In a world that demands ever more of our time and money, FF is the perfect antidote to literary hunger and cost. Busy schedules leave the reader with little time to digest novels, or even short stories of a traditional size.

The writer is enjoying this unique style of writing and the creative fulfillment provided by a successfully completed piece. To distill a story down to its essence, whilst keeping the structure of plot, narrative, characters, conflict and resolution, is a skill to be proud of. Those who have the skill are supplying story addicts with a quick fix which, in an age where time seems to have slipped through our fingers, is like stopping the world to let readers get off - even if for only five minutes.

Enjoy!
