Writing quality fiction is no fun. There are too many rules, too many people to impress, and most of all, too much pressure. It's the end of August, so why not just have fun and write the worst story imaginable?

- There is no specific prompt or format for this except that it should be as bad as possible. Unoriginal, cheesy, cliched, you name it.

- Max of 1000 words, no minimum. If you want to tell a story one sentence long, go for it. And while you'll PM your entries directly to me [no editing will be allowed] don't make deliberate grammar mistakes. Try to keep it as clean and easy to read as possible; if you don't it will count against you.

- There will be one grand prize winner that will receive a secret prize and 2-3 runners up, depending on how much interest this gets. All winners will receive a certificate. Get writing!

- Deadline September 7th

All our dreams can come true — if we have the courage to pursue them.

Hi guys, I don't know what the interest in this is right now but even if you just think you'll submit can you say something here? I'd like to have an idea of how many people are interested/working on stuff so I know if I needs to extend the deadline or change any of the requirements.

Someone told me there's a girl out there, with love in her eyes and flowers, in her hair.

sent you a PM. It may be a little over the word count though. If that's a problem, just let me know.

One question: You said we send them directly to you. Does this mean we don't publish it? Or do you just want a link?
