Time for a Storm of Stories! Get ready to pick a genre and GO. And make sure to read all the rules, the rules of this one are very important!
A Storm of Stories
This year we of theWrittenRevolution challenge you to participate in a slalom event for genre fiction. Here's the deal: you will have three weeks, and three stories to write, one per week!
There will be prizes at the end of each round for the best story of the round, and then, a mega prize at the end for the first place winner who completes all three rounds.
So here is how it goes:
Each week you will be given two genres to choose from, and no other specifications. Choose one!
Then write a story in that genre of 1500 words or less.
You will have one week to do this.
Then the second week you will be presented with two completely different genres. Again, choose one and write!
Lather, rinse, repeat.
Rules:
Prose only (sorry!), each story must be 1,500 words or less.
Story must be in one of the two given genres for the week.
You may only enter in one round or two if you want. You don’t have to do all three.
Only someone who has done all three weeks will be eligible for the final Grand Prize.
no fanfiction, no nonfiction.
How does it work?
Contest will start on July 23th
Contest will end August 13th.
Weekly prizes will be given out the day of the new prompt.
Contest open to all DeviantArt members!
