Alright, once again, it is time for the monthly competition. This month will be a relief to many of you... The goal this month is to write a piece of flash fiction. "What is flash fiction?" you ask. Well, it is a type of writing characterized by its short length. The average piece is between 250 words and one thousand, though it can range upwards toward 2000 and has gone as low as six (Ernest Hemingway's "For sale: Baby shoes, never worn"). Requirements: It has to be 2000 words or less. It must have a protagonist and plot. it can't be prose simply put down on a page. Deadline: You have until June 30 th. I would suggest you use this time to think out a well planned story. When you have your story written, PM it to me and I'll post it on the Council. And to Council members: if you submit something, you can't judge Good luck, have fun, and write.

I'm gonna sit out on this one I think. I doubt I can write a good story in a month any way.

Oh, come on blood. It isn't that hard. Especially since it is so short.
And no more spamming this topic.

2000 words or less? That's too short for me. The story I was working on for May's Competition was around 6 pages long which means I can't use it. Bane you should join. The more the merrier, right?
I guess I could come up with something short, but what to write about?

Here is some advice on flash fiction, for those who need some help deciding how to write something short... Here as well... Hmm... Can't seem to find much else that is good. Was trying to find some good examples...
