April Flash Fiction Contest

Details

Deadline:Apr 30, 2008
Fee:Scribophile Pro membership required

In past contests we've provided a theme to help inspire you to write. This time, we'll do the opposite and leave the theme totally open to your imagination. We want to see what you scribophiles can dream up!

We won't be accepting just anything, though. Entries must be in flash fiction format; that is, all entries must be under 1000 words (as measured by us) and must be fiction. No non-fiction allowed!

Those are the only rules. Choose your words wisely and start writing!
