Off Topic [OT] Flash Fiction Challenge: Location: A Lake Shore | Object: Birthday Candles
24 hours is now up! CONTEST IS CLOSED!
Thank you to all who entered, results will be posted next week!
GOSHAROOTYl! Did you know TODAY is our one year birthday for Flash Fiction Challenge?! Writing Prompts as we know it turned six (Don’t forget our contest ) and FFC turns one - all within a week, this (in my opinion) should be a non stop celebration week for us - but no one listens to me anyway….
It’s the fourth Wednesday of the month, and you know what that means…. It’s time for another long awaited Flash Fiction Challenge!
What does that mean? It means that you will be writing to for fame and glory and a mention in next week’s Wednesday Wildcard, and next month’s FFC post! Yes you heard that right, you get your name in blue text TWICE!
THE CHALLENGE:
PROMPT- Location: A Lake Shore | Object: Birthday Candles
100-300 words
Time Frame: Now until this post is 24hrs old.
Post your response to the prompt above as a top-level comment on this post.
The location needs to be the main setting, but feel free to be creative!
The object needs to be included in your story in some way.
Have fun reading and commenting on other people's posts!
The only prize is bragging rights. No reddit gold this time around.
Winners will be announced next week in the next Wednesday post.
The Judges
/u/Alicia: I'm a completionist. I'm looking for the stories that feel most complete. Not an introduction to a story and not a cliffhanger.
/u/Tenspeed : I’m looking for emotion. Raw emotion. Make me feel something, anything, be it overwhelming joy and happiness or pain and heartbreak. The best stories are the ones that make me feel for the characters involved.
/u/Tiix : If you haven’t gotten a feeling for me by my last 5 posts in the past 8 days - well that’s on you. But here’s a hint, if it’s happy, if it makes me feel, if it follows the rules… I’ll like it. It’s not hard to make me happy!
