Just Because January Flash Fiction Contest (deadline Jan 31)

lilymoore · 2013-01-10T09:02:23Z

Whoop Whoop! I’ve been wanting to hold a contest pretty much the moment I got back to YWS. And a Flash Fiction Contest seemed like just the thing to do. So some of you may be wondering what Flash Fiction is. Well, I’ll let Wikipedia do most of the work there. Flash fiction is a style of fictional literature or fiction of extreme brevity. Pretty simple, right? But there are three things I’ll be looking for. - plot - character - conflict Not too difficult. Just want to make sure I don't end up reading a 200 word description of a sandwich. On to the rules then, right? 1. No Plagiarism. 2. Any rating is acceptable. 3. It should focus, in some way, on one of the following words/ideas: ---- Innocence ---- Freedom ---- Panic ---- Incompetence ---- Sacrifice ---- Law ---- Beauty ---- Need ---- Infatuation ---- Customer service 4. Your story may not include any of the five words listed below: ---- love ---- wearing ---- seriously ---- nice ---- like 5. No more than 250 words please. 6. Submit a link to your work in this thread. If you don’t wish to submit it to the Literary works area, PM me your piece. 7. The contest deadline is January 31st! 8. Have fuuuuun! Almost forgot! Prizes (sadly I have only reviews to offer): All Submissions will receive a review. Third: 1 additional review on a piece of their choice to use whenever. Second: 3 additional reviews on any pieces of their choosing to be used whenever they wish. First: 5 additional reviews on whatever they wish whenever they wish it. If you have any questions, leave them below pretty please! http://pinkie.mylittlefacewhen.com/media/f/img/mlfw477_pinkki_liikaa_sokeria.gif

Oh. My. God. I forgot.

Hate me.

I like you as an enemy, but I love you as a friend.

I'll be sitting down tomorrow evening/afternoon to finish Judging and the likes. I'm just really excited to see how many people turned out works for this.

Never forget who you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armor yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you.

May you never steal, lie, or cheat. But if you must steal, then steal away my sorrows. And if you must lie, then lie with me all the nights of your life. And if you must cheat, then please, cheat death.
