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. Flash stories from all of our previous
challenges are archived
in the Flash
Challenge Entries Index, which lists over 650
stories.
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, or go to the ’Fun
And Games’ topic on the forums, to see what we're up to right
now
