Sinful Saturday - Something New

[neevebrody.livejournal.com]

Hi everyone! Forgive my lateness, it seems my body and mind needed sleep today, can you imagine that?

melagan and I discussed the possibility of a flashfic challenge for brendan_vincent because, obviously, the more of these guys the better, right?

So, I was thinking of rules, etc. and since we don't stand on a lot of ceremony around here, there aren't many:

1. A challenge would run for 2 weeks. The due date will be in the original post and there will be a reminder post.

2. The maximum word count is 1,000, with anything up to that acceptable as well.

3. For now, we'll be using prompts from a random prompt table. That's subject to change later if we get a lot of participation.

4. To post your challenge story, follow the same rules for posting as shown on the Info Page, but include your prompt somewhere in the header. Example:

title:
author:
rating:
word count:
warnings:
flashfic challenge prompt:

And that's about it. I was reading recently about flash fiction and would love to get back to the roots of the genre: quick, in the moment, go with your gut, fics. We're really looking forward to seeing what comes of this and hopefully more of you will be inspired to write. I just know there's lots of steamy, lovely, angsty, romantic stories on the way.

The first challenge will start tonight and run through Saturday, May 22nd. Your prompt is: "storm"

We'd also really like to know what you think of this idea, so a tiny poll:
