Welcome to the Society of Virtual Collaboration

Ferocious Quarterly SHORT WORKS believes in the power and the urgency of the story to illuminate and bring us closer together. With its unique blend of fiction and illustration, FQ Short Works has its face pressed firmly against the windshield of the American experience. As a virtual gallery of curated art + story, FQ Short Works will be posting new collaborations every few weeks, and is keenly interested in hearing from new voices in storytelling and illustration. If you’re feeling Ferocious, click here and follow the instructions for “Short Works” submissions. It’s easy. It’s painless. It could be the start of something beautiful. There’s nothing flashy about FQ Short Works. Good is good. Some of our pieces are long. Really long. Others find ways to say what needs to be said with just a few breaths.The only thing we ask is that writers and artists work together to collectively share an experience that will reach out and punch us in our throats.

While we work to populate FQ Short Works, here’s a quick lay of the land around here:

Before “Short Works,” there was a blog. These are the stories that made it out alive.

Interviews, announcements, FQ behind-the-scenes—it’s not “Short Works” but we think you might enjoy ‘em.

“Short Works.” The collection, collected.
