Once "Short Sips" is officially closed I will be posting the cover for this. Just got it and I think you all will like it.
Is it sad I already have one for this?
Um, ok, dumb question. The submissions guidelines say "August 31, 2012," then they also say August 31, 2011...
Either that's a typo, or you're accepting submissions until Aug 31, 2011, not to be considered until 2012??

Damn. That's out. LMAO!
I have one that's not sexy. *sigh* So, I still have one. If you don't like my reprint, I'll break down and write something new. 
Believe it or not, September is just around the corner.
If you already have a flash fiction piece accepted for "Short Sips v2" and have another piece you are wanting to get out there--go ahead and send your piece in for "Fresh Ground v3". We will officially start reading, accepting, rejecting, etc, Sept. 1, 2011.
You can count on me sending something new--I'm always writing myself sane with flash fiction stories--most of my weirdest ideas come from people watching and/or real life frustrations

If you like these covers...wait until 2013's. It will be the first with a white background...but dang if it ain't cool! I've been getting these covers ready ASAP, and have the art for 15 or so.
