Lesley Truchet and Michael Rumsey
This section of the website started life as a single page. Over time, as the Facebook group became more popular, it grew too big for one page, so more pages have been created.
Below are links to the other pages held within the Hall of Fame and a map of the entire complex so you can navigate without a sat nav.

Authors of the Flash Fiction Writing Challenges Map
Prepared by Michael Rumsey
Visitors are asked to sign in. Application forms to join the group are available with a map to pave your way on the following route.
Free copies of Lesley’s Lessons can be found on the welcome desk.
From Reception take Writers Road north.
This offers a variety of items including A4 paper, computer ink and a pocket size Thesaurus.
Turn sharp right onto Truchet Boulevard and first right again down Link Lane.
Pets and laptops welcome.
Day visitors are encouraged to drop in for coffee. For bookings, please see below.
Exit the hotel and move along Admin Street.
Every evening offers a live performance. In the past six months, we have enjoyed shows from The Lovely Ladies of Leeds, a rather tense appearance by the PPF (Past, Present & Future) Band and, most recently, a mixed concert by the Point of Viewers.
One of our most popular venues is situated opposite the hotel.
The steaks in this joint are succulent, the waitresses even more so. Some say the Indent Fish is marginally better than meat, having more character. Catering for authors Alphabet Soup is a favourite and one really should sample the Fable Flan.
Back on the Boulevard and walking easterly, an attractive building sits on the left.
In the entrance hall, a metal plaque lists the names of all elected members in chronological order from Anita Bowden, July 2018, right up to date with now. The notice board displays a month by month account of the winning story titles, with brain storming and mind numbing titles such as Naughty Santa, Homonyms, Haiku & Clerihew, etc.
Stepping into our Status Room visitors are sometimes puzzled by the oak panelled placard which greets them: Avid Aces Thread.
Reading the stories printed below the sign, displayed in conjunction with prize recipient photographs, reveals this is in honour of our competition winners. It is, in fact, an anagram of the surnames of our first three winning authors Kim, Cathy and Amanda.
Pause to enjoy the glittering photographs and equally sparkling bios on the other three walls.
These are our Member Profiles to date.
When you've finished perusing all the names on display, step out of the Hall of Fame. At the bottom of Truchet Boulevard, turn sharp left onto Wareham Walk. After half a kilometre, a building can be seen on the right.
Here, selected members assemble by invitation. This was kindly supplied by the Lesley Anne Foundation.
A few brisk steps north on Wareham walk are the places children flock to.
This was established by Lestopher & Chrisley. A company that is never at a loss, ensuring the joy children win on the swings is equally rewarding on the roundabouts.
The next attraction is adjacent to the playground.
Offers of crumbs here, unlike some of our stories, are never rejected. Retracing one's steps and turning left onto the Walk, brings the visitor to a monument.
This admirable statue was a gift from the Michgail Institute that is guaranteed to spout forth 24 hours a day.
Continue north on Wareham Walk.
Sitting proudly at the upper edge of the complex, the manor was constructed in a month of Mondays and is dedicated to Wordsworth. The representatives here are never stuck for a word and always willing to give an explanation.
Moving south, the poetic Ashley Avenue brings us down to the Library.
The designer, Dick Shonary, says it is looking up, making reference to completion by the end of May.
Exit via Thomson Turnaround to link up with Sir Christopher Walk to discover the oldest building in the complex.
The Library also contains the Gem Centre Museum (GCM), Notley Nook (where our Daft Definitions are stored) and the Pearl Room (the home for our more poetic challenge winners).
Built in the 15th century entirely from Bristolian Brick, it was initially owned by two Hullenbach families. Now home to the 1,000 word club members, it has been in the news many times throughout its long history. Inside, various rooms have been prepositioned, each representing a different topic. On the ground floor, for example, one can find the Adverbially Obsessed and Cliche Clique rooms. At the end of the corridor on the first floor is a room affectionately known as the laughing chamber, officially Nonsense Nook. It has been said that, having seen the castle, every visitor leaves sensorially satisfied.
Senses are further tickled by walking south west down Rumsey Street.
Frolicking is the key word in this establishment and the inhabitants are guaranteed to put a smile on anyone’s face.
Moving inland due east and along Everett Avenue brings one to what some describe as action area.
Guests are invited to watch as nine gladiators, one after another, practise the ancient and noble art of paragraphing to culminate in a legend.
Successful Gladiators are rewarded with an appearance in the next place of interest.
Nine glittering portraits are featured, depicting those brave warriors who survived to narrate what has become known as the Great Aunt Mabel saga.
From the gallery, Challenge Drive leads to Michael Court.
Occupied by our learned brotheren/sisteren, vital and wise decisions have been formulated here by every one of the judges.
Moving south on Writers Road an array of goodies is to be found.
A new addition, built in a location so secret that it does not appear on the map. Only Wednesday's winnows can find it.
Inside, one can get a flash of inspiration from authors ranging from Ashley to Zeleski. Postcards and prints of Malcolm Richardson's photo prompts are on sale. Pause for a while to watch the trio, Trucham, Waresey and Rumset, demonstrate the age old art of mini-challenge compilation. Browse through the much sought after, colourful charity donating Challenge Collections.
Upon leaving the complex via reception, guests are asked to sign the visitor’s book and make a comment in 81 words.
Hotel Bookings: fictioneers@aoffwc.international
Flashers Bar & Grill Open 24 hours & take away. (Take away does not include the waitresses.)
We trust you have enjoyed your visit, please come again.
NASA Rocket Launchpad Site
The rocket launch that took place on the 31st May 2024 containing our group's time capsule was absolutely awesome. Noise from the blasting rocket was stupendous, the sight etched in the memories of those who were present. Hundreds of members' manuscripts, stories, profiles and challenge history information fell from various storage places during blast off. Order is now restored. There was even a hunky astronaut in attendance who wishes to remain anonymous.
Our AOTFFWC group will be remembered not only on this planet but also in some part of the universe, wherever the capsule eventually lands, and beyond.
The launch site is located on the top right-hand corner of our complex and will be added to the complex map once experts have assessed the considerable damage to the ground and buildings. NASA has kindly offered to pay all costs including repairs.
Having received so much response from our recently set up Facebook challenges, we think our distinguished Hall of Famers deserve much wider recognition and appreciation. On this page we will publish, and add to, a never ending list of names of every single writer who enters the 'Authors of the Flash Fiction Writing Challenges Hall of Fame'.
If you manage to get through the Hall of Fame door, and it won't be easy, your name will remain imprinted on the list forever, and ever, and ever, and beyond, or until computer technology expires, whichever comes first.
Who is eligible to enter?
If you have already entered one or more of Chris Fielden's world renowned writing challenges, you will probably be aware that the Facebook group was set up in order that Chris's challenge writers could communicate.
The group instantly became popular with new members arriving by the minute. Within this group (which also accepts members who haven't yet responded to any of Chris's challenges) we are running varied, regular challenges, winners of which enter the group's prestigious Hall of Fame. Go on. Have a go. Join the Facebook group today.
Below dwells the most prestigious of tables, for it holds the details of word weaving legends. If you think you're worthy of a place on this fabled tableau, contact Michael or Lesley in the Facebook group. Or hassle Chris and he will pass on said hassle without a moment's delay.

The Monday Word is a challenge run in the Facebook group that invites writers to take a rare or unusual or obscure word and write a sentence or two to help to elucidate its meaning. The idea was conceived by Peter James Corbally.
Below you will find details of those invited for drinks in the library, located in the west wing of the manor, after excelling in this mini challenge.

Here you will find the names of members who have frolicked in the fountain on a Friday, and how many times they have done so. Please note that while frolicking, public decency is employed at all times.
Lesley introduced HQ as a meeting place for our detectives – those members who correctly identified our "Who Are The Authors?" challenges. Originally a room in The Manor, we later moved it to a lush and prestigious office on the second floor of The Hall Of Fame. We needed more space to also accommodate winners of Wednesday Winnows and Mystery Member.
Here you will find the names of members who have helped to run and judge events in the Facebook group. They are:

The lounge was opened to celebrate the second anniversary of our group in May 2020.
Though we consider all our members as VIPs, our admin team decided to honour some for outstanding contributions. For example, competition winners, challenge compilers, multiple mini challenge winners, those who have written in excess of 2,000 words for our main challenges etc. Two were nominated by other members and another two for sheer enthusiasm and leadership.
We look forward to welcoming new members to the lounge who meet our slogan: Above and Beyond. Accordingly, we offer an open invitation to all our members to make a recommendation, stating for what and why. Just use the comment form at the bottom of this page.

You made my day.
May I say.
Thank you all.
I had a ball.
You gave me my 15 minutes of fame.
Glad I came.
Seriously Chris, and the other authors. You made me proud to take part. Thank you.
Chris Fielden
Thank you, Eileen. And a poem too - we feel spoilt :-)
