500 words are nothing...500 words that mean something...hmmmm
count me in.

 

[Guest]

I am in.... sure why not...

Here's what I propose.

• Flash fiction, max 500 words. Or maybe shorter? Longer? What's reasonable?
• 24 hour deadline, from the opening of the contest thread.
• Some kind of theme, presented in the contest thread.
• Anoymous submissions, submitted via PM.
• Voting procedure not decided. Depends on the number of submissions, I guess.
• Possibly some kind of prize. But not anything worth cheating for.

I don't have a word count ability. :S But I'd love to try it. Although, if it's a theme... *shudders* What KIND of theme?

Wait and see.

I may give it a shot. Depends on how busy I am at work on Monday.

 

[Bishonen]

Agreed, if nobody else wants to manage the thingy. I'm swamped this weekend.

Let's try this then:

Contest start: Sunday at 10 PM CET. That's Central European Time (or Civilized Exact Time, as I'd like to call it ) for you Americanos. Would mean 9 PM in London, 4 PM in the White House and 1 PM in California. Figure your own launch hour from that.

Deadline for entries: Wednesday at 10 PM CET.


Sounds acceptable?

Command me..! I mean, yes, that's fine.

Since I'm a newbie, forgive me for the silly question. But what exactly is "flash fiction"?

 

[Stella_Omega]

Short-short fiction, or writing exercises. Some of the internet crowd call them "Drabble" *shudder*
Sometimes they have a word limit, like this one, or have to stem from a sentence or phrase... There's a lovely one around here somehwere, let me see if I can find it for you

There's a flashy thread over at the poetry forum (max 100 words) that have produced some rather excellent pieces. A good starting point for inspiration.

Second thought, I better drop out this time. Sorry for being so wishy-washy, but I have to concentrate on my exams.

Up to you. It's three days. And you only have to write between 1 and 500 words. If you get struck by a sudden muse attack and just can't help yourself, have us in mind.

Did we decide on a theme yet?

I did. You'll know when the competition starts. That's part of the fun.
