Flash fiction is a fiction narrative in the form of a very short piece of writing, which still offers a character arc or implies a larger story. Some commentators believe flash fiction possesses a unique literary quality in its ability to hint at that larger story. It is briefer even that the traditional format of the short story. Varieties are sometimes defined by word count, including the six-word story, the 280-character story ("twitterature"), the "dribble" (also known as the "minisaga", 50 words), and the "drabble" (also known as "microfiction", 100 words).

Engaging Readers Cognitively and Affectively in Flash Fiction. This article sets out to explore flash fiction, understood as very short forms of prose narrative and taking it to be a mode of writing that only properly developed in recent decades, although not without prominent antecedents going back through centuries of literary history.

I argue that while retaining the basics of narrative requirements, such as representing events and being able to generate mental representations o…

Gothic fiction, often referred to as Gothic horror (primarily in the 20th century), is a literary aesthetic of fear and haunting. The name of the genre is derived from the Renaissance-era use of the word "gothic", as a pejorative term meaning medieval and barbaric, which itself originated from Gothic architecture and in turn the Goths.

The Gothic influence continued into the early 19th century, with Romantic works by poets such as Samuel Taylor Cole…

Flash fiction, prose poetry and ambiguity: The distinction between flash fiction and prose poetry on ambiguous terms. Flash fiction invites the reader to co-create the story themselves. We propose that a level of ambiguity in the flash fiction text is germane.

Divergent creativity in humans and large language models.. The recent surge of Large Language Models (LLMs) has led to claims that they are approaching a level of creativity akin to human capabilities. This idea has sparked a blend of excitement and apprehension. However, a critical piece that has been missing in this discourse is a systematic evaluation of LLMs' semantic diversity, particularly in comparison to human divergent thinking. To bridge this gap, we leverage recent advances in computational creativity to analyze semantic divergence in both state-of-the-art LLMs and a substantial dataset of 100,000 humans. These divergence-based measures index associative thinking-the ability to a…
