"Found" Flash Fiction Contest
Write a "Found" Flash Fiction (250-1000 word) story. "Find" your inspiration from a book currently on your shelves, on page 99 and paragraph two. You will choose your story nugget from the prose found there.
You may look (at most!) at THREE books before choosing one of them as your inspiration.
Your Author Notes must include:
(1.) the line that inspired your story (verbatim)
(2.) book title and author name
(3.) your story's word count
* Keep in mind that true flash fiction is not a story about a 'snippet of time'. It is a complete story in a short format that still requires a beginning, middle (climax) and conclusion.
Maximum number of words = 1000.
The contest winner will win half of the prize pool which is based on the number of entries. The second and third place winners will each share the remaining prize pool. The prize pool is currently 80.00 member dollars. There are only 2 spots still open. If all open spots are used the prize pool will be 90.00 member dollars. In this contest at least 2 submissions must be made for the vote to begin.
Deadline: Contest is closed. Deadline was Tuesday, April 12, 2016.
