The AH QnD STC Flash compo
The whut? The Author's Hangout Quick n Dirty Same Title Challenge Flash Fiction Competition. That's whut.
What does that mean? It means we compete in flash fiction (Or really, flaaaaash fiction, since "real" flash can be much shorter than this). You write a short story based on a certain title. That be all. You are competing for fame, glory, virtual groupies and a small material reward, yet to be revealed.
Rules and procedures are as follows
Story length: 300 to 500 words
Start: Eh, well, NOW!
Deadline: August 5, as long as it's August 5 in some time zone. So don't freak out, there's plenty o time.
Genre: Whatever floats your boat. Make sure it's within Lit's rules though.
Oh and then there's the title. All entries will have the same one, it's up to you to make something creative, and hopfully sexy out of it. It doesn't have to be the theme of the story, or even something that happenes therein. Or it may be. That's up to you, as long as it is somehow and someway apt. That's the challenge part.
The title for your masterpiece will be:
Leave It By The Door
That should be general enough for you to turn the title into literary wonder. Or jolly good smut. Or both. Give it a minute, or a day, or a week, and see what your twisted little mind comes up with. Then grab a pen, keyboard, quill, whatever.
PM your entry to Quick-n-Dirty. Do NOT post them here. Who wrote what shall remain a secret until after the voting.
On August 1 (unless I'm too hung over or something), I will post all entries anonumously in a thread with a poll (or several semi-finals, if there are too many) and you vote for your favourtite.
