Group-Sponsored Epic Fantasy Flash Fiction Contest

Details

Deadline:Jan 31, 2015
Fee:Free

Can you write a quality epic fantasy in 1,500 words or less? Okay, so it isn’t really an epic if it’s only 1,500 words, but can you write a short fantasy snippet that alludes to an epic in that amount of time? When the reader walks away from your story, you want to leave them with a feeling that there was a greater story behind the story written. Here's your chance to push your writing skills in this genre to your limits.
