About
My name is Martin McGrath. I’m a journalist by profession, I write short stories in my spare time and I edit Focus, a magazine for writers, for the BSFA.
I’m originally from Northern Ireland but I’ve lived in and around London and the South East for most of the last 20 years. I now live in St Albans.
Friday Flash Fiction proposal
I was thinking it might be cool to have a triple-F event. Something like we choose a topic or character to write about and then for one Friday we put out a loosely linked set of stories.
It could be something new or one of our existing storylines or characters to write about. I think it would energize both our writers and readers and we could all promote it.
As one idea something that appeals to me is along the lines of Moorcock’s eternal champion where there is a loose connection and story structure but actual story lines are somewhat open. As a humble suggestion I quite like my Becker character and have put him in two scenarios already. I would open him up to everyone to interpret and put in any multiverse location they could come up keeping a rough character portrait intact.
That is only a suggestion. I would be very very interested to hear others thoughts on the potential topics.
