Welcome to the Short Story Weekend in September! The Gen Lit Crew brings you a weekend dedicated to short stories, where you can either finish a draft of your short story or write one from scratch. This event runs from the 12th until the 14th of September!
In general, short stories can range from approximately 1000 to 7000 words, or even up to 10.000! But ultimately, you set your own goals. You can even try your hand at some flash fiction (under 1K words), novelettes or novellas (exceeding 7.5K words).
How to Participate
Claim a spot in this thread and update your word count as many times as you like during the weekend, or just mention parts of your progress - this depends on your goal.

Awards?
Of course! Along with a good feeling of satisfaction and a story ready to receive reviews, you will also receive a shiny badge for your work ;D See the post below.
If you have any questions, post them in this thread or shoot a PM to any Gen Lit moderator. Start your planning and happy writing!
Happy writing!
