Introducing SmokeLong In-N-Out

April 1, 2024

We are excited. For decades SmokeLong has teetered on the edge of flash erotica, publishing tasteful, often edgy stories on sexual themes. We’ve never been afraid to go there. In 2024, though, we are going all in…and out. Our new sister journal, SmokeLong In-N-Out, will be the first online sex journal devoted to the briefest, most intimate stories of passion. And we don’t want to delay your gratification one second longer. Get ready for SmokeLong’s answer to the quickie.

SmokeLong In-N-Out will consider flash fiction and nonfiction exploring the following themes beginning today April 1, 2024:

The Intersection of pleasure and pain
Through the peephole
Submissive or Dominant? The politics of sexual positions
Toys, Toying, and Boy Toys
The blindfold and POV obfuscation
The Imperative Mood in Flash Erotica
Panties and other euphemisms
To strap on or not to strap on
What is a creampie actually?
Hooters and Eggplants: hyperbole and object relations
Show me yours first.
A cast of thousands: the challenge of characterization in the orgy story
Late-night snacks (a series): Incubus/succubus narratives
Thinly veiled rants about the person you met on Grindr
Insomnia
Ashes

Audio files are also welcome and will be available in our Phone Sex Series. If you have an elderly Uncle Pete, please ask him to read the story.

A SmokeLong Summer 26!

A SmokeLong Summer 26 is closer than you think. This year we’re starting early and staying late. The summer just got longer.

As always, at the heart of A SmokeLong Summer is our peer-review workshop in small groups of around 15 writers, drafting to 3 writing tasks each week. Our peer-review workshop is all in writing, so you can participate from anywhere, anytime. This summer our writing tasks will be generative and thematically leaning towards community. Our theme this year: “The Global Flash Village”. Writing doesn’t have a be a game of Solitaire; it can be a team sport.

Our participants often say their writing has dramatically increased in community. A SmokeLong Summer 26 will take you around the world, introducing you to writers from every corner of our beautiful planet.
