Suzanne Vincent is the editor-in-chief of Flash Fiction Online. That’s what people think anyway. Actually, she’s really a pretty ordinary middle-aged woman packing a few extra pounds and a few more gray hairs than she’s comfortable with. As a writer, she leans toward the fantasy spectrum, though much of what she writes is difficult to classify. Slipstream? Isn’t that where we stick stories when we just can’t figure out where else they go? Suzanne’s first professional publication was right here at FFO, published before she joined the staff: “I Speak the Master’s Will,” — a story she’s still very proud of. While she doesn’t actually have time to blog anymore, she once did. You can still read her ancient posts on writing at The Slushpile Avalanche. Suzanne keeps a house full of kids (3), a husband (1), and pets (too many to number) in Utah, USA. Yes, she’s a Mormon. No, there isn’t another wife. Mormons haven’t actually practiced polygamy since the 1890s. Too bad. She’d love to have another woman around to wash dishes and do laundry.

Stefan Milićević is a writer from Bosnia and Herzegovina. He has been published in venues such as Flash Fiction Online, Mirror Dance and Golden Visions.

In 2011 he attended Cat Rambo’s editing classes and in 2012 he graduated from the University of Banja Luka.

When he is not reading or writing, he is playing Go or Magic the Gathering.

Cislyn Smith likes playing pretend, playing games, and playing with words. Though she was born on the gulf coast of Florida, she calls Madison, Wisconsin her home now. She shares her home with three very photogenic cats, a variety of cool bacteria, and some nifty humans. She has been known to crochet tentacles, write stories at odd hours, and study stone dead languages. Cislyn is occasionally dismayed by the lack of secret passages in her house. Her poems and stories have appeared in Strange Horizons, Diabolical Plots, Mermaids Monthly, and other places else-internet. She is a graduate of the Viable Paradise workshop, and a first reader for several genre magazines. When not writing, she spends time behind the scenes at the Dream Foundry, helping emerging creators across the speculative arts to connect with helpful resources and level up their craft. She is co-convention chair for Flights of Foundry, a virtual convention held annually in the spring.
