Hey!
The writing competition that was born out of the NYC Midnight forums starts at the beginning of August. Join the battle today! What is Writing Battle? Click HERE to learn more. But here's the gist... Flash Fiction Summer Battle Genre(s): TBD (but they're always fun) Word count: <1000 Prize: $5,000 CASH Publication + Feedback Cash Prize increases at the following thresholds: $6,000 @ 600 Participants $7,000 @ 700 Participants $8,000 @ 800 Participants Start Date: Aug 5, 2022 Fee: $25 USD (tax included) Contest: 2 Days to write up to 1000 Words Writing Battle is a creative writing competition for writers, by writers. Light on battle. Heavy on fun and friendship (but still somewhat battle-like). Receive prompts, write some flash fiction, then judge each other's stories. Win cash and get feedback from your peers. Join the battle! Note: If you're worried about the duels interfering with rounds of NYC Midnight, we are super easy and accommodate those people. Besides the initial Duel (August 9th), we can always re-schedule with very little notice. Alright... so what's a Duel?
Have you competed before? Some things have changed since the last Flash Fiction Battle back in February. The biggest changes are:
Check out the Past Winners from the Battle earlier this year, read more about the Rules! Oh and after the Finalists are given to the Professional Judges (and the Duels are completed), you can share your stories on our Forums with a click-of-a-button and read/comment on each others entries. Ask me any questions that you have! Please spread the word if you or someone you know might be interested in a competition like this. I'm biased obviously -- and the competition is by no means perfect (yet) -- but I think it's pretty fun. Thanks for reading this thread :) Cheers, -Max Edited by maxbjork - 17 Jul 2022 at 7:04am |

So fun, Max! Looking forward to attempting to do this and short screenplay the same weekend - with my beloved dog in decline from cancer, but I think she'll hang in at least for the weekend and I can type next to her on her bed.

I have my prompts, and I am pleased! I only had to make one change to get something I like.
