Flash Fiction Challenges
Every month for almost ten years, we have run a flash
fiction
contest in the "Fun
and Games"
folder in Aphelion's forum. In the contest, we post a challenge with a
specific theme and participants get two weeks to write a flash story
based on
the challenge guidelines. Then the members vote of the stories, rating
them in six different categories. It's a great
place to hone your writing skills, meet some fellow writers, receive
some feedback, and possibly win a prize, or at least, bragging rights.
New participants are always
welcome. Submissions for the contest
are done through the forum. Just click 'Flash Challenge' button in the
Navbar link on the left side of this screen to see what we're up to
right now.
Flash stories from all of our previous
contest challenges are archived in the forum as well. Over 600 stories
are included in our archive. To start reading some of these great flash
stories,
check out either Index
1
or Index
2.
July's challenge was about invasive species. Click
the 'Flash Challenge' link in our NavBar on the left of the screen
to read all about it.
