Flash Fiction Challenges
Since 2007, we have run a flash fiction contest in the "Fun and
Games" folder in Aphelion's forum. In the contest, we post a challenge
with a specific theme and participants get two weeks to write a flash
story based on the challenge guidelines. Then the members vote of the
stories, rating them in six different categories. It's a great place to
hone your writing skills, meet some fellow writers, receive some
feedback, and win a bragging rights. Flash stories from all of our
previous challenges are archived in the Flash Challenge Entries Index,
which lists over 750 stories. We lost many of those in the Great
SpamBot Attack of 2020, and we are currently rebuilding the archives.
As of this writing, I've gotten as far as March 2013. Please bear with
us.
New participants are always welcome. Submissions for the contest are
done through the forum. Just click 'Flash Challenge' button in the
Navbar link on the left side of this screen, or go to the Fun And Games
topic on the forums, to see what we're up to right now
