Hello everyone! It's just about time for a new contest, and the challenge this time is microfiction. That's the semi-official term for a very short piece of writing, much shorter than a short story. Think of it as bite-sized literature. ;D Here are the contest rules: - Your story should be inspired, based on, or related to the picture I post below.
- Your story must be Redwall or Terralux-related.
- It cannot be more than 500 words in length.
- Your story should have a title and be carefully proofread, spellchecked, and so on. Spelling errors will not disqualify you, but they take away from the experience of reading a story.
- You must sign up in this thread.
- When you finish your story, you should PM it to me. I will then forward it to Stoakley, my co-judge. The reason for this is twofold: 1) I don't want anyone to end up inadvertently borrowing story elements of the people before them, and 2) I don't want anyone getting so intimidated by a really good writer that they decide not to contribute.
At the end of the contest, I will post all the stories for everyone to admire, then declare a winner and his or her crystal shard reward. The contest ends May 14th. Now! Here's the picture: Good luck, and happy writing!
