Contests & Challenges

Contest #3: One More... (#JustWriteDay) [CLOSED]

justwriteit has teamed up with the entire Fright Family to bring you our biggest #JustWriteDay yet.

And by Fright Family, we mean fright, Paranormal, WattVampires, WattZombie, _Dark_Fantasy, werewolf, Ghost, _creepy_pasta, and crime.

Yeah, we weren't kidding when we said it's big!

With the coming of the New Year, a large sum of people choose to set aside bad habits in order to make a new start. This means many will have one last indulgence, one last binge before the New Year comes.

For this flash fiction challenge, you are supposed to write a short story to this prompt:

***** One More *****

We are aware this allows a lot of creative freedom, however, a few rules apply:

As the #JustWriteDay challenge is a collaboration between justwriteit and the Fright Family, your story must qualify as a Horror.

Your short story must be in English.

The maximum length is 500 words.

You have exactly 24 hours to complete your masterpiece, from the moment it is posted on justwriteit (11:00 AM EST December 29th to 11:00 AM EST December 30, 2018)

Publish your story on your own profile, either as a new story or as a new chapter in an existing anthology. We can't accept prewritten or multi-chapter stories.

Please consult the guidelines in the introductory page on the justwriteit profile for more FAQ!

The best entries of this challenge will be featured in the #JustWriteDay anthology on the justwriteit profile. All the featured writers will receive a sticker and a shout out from both the JustWriteIt and Fright Family profiles.

To submit your story fill out this FORM.

You are welcome to share your story with others in the comments, but only submissions via the above form will be considered.

And now, get writing!
