What is 100-Foot Crow?

We’re a new literary magazine exclusively focused on speculative drabblesthat is, 100-word science-fiction and fantasy stories.

Why drabbles?

Because drabbles are the best! They are delicious little literary snacks. They are easy to read and deliver an incredible bang for your buck—an entire story you can read in less than a minute! Who wouldn’t want that? (The answer is no one. Everyone wants that.)

Here at 100-Foot Crow, we believe drabbles deserve more respect, which is why we pay the SFWA pro rate of $0.08 per word for all stories we purchase.

“Beginning writers tend to be verbose. We can’t tell the difference between an essential detail and an inessential one. We’re like golden retrievers romping through Storyland, and pretty much every damn thing we see is a squirrel.”

— Chuck Palahniuk
