I wanted to do something fun for the community here, on Wattpad, so I'm starting a recurring series of Flash Fiction Contests! The genre and type of flash fiction will change each month and all are invited to participate. Since we are already halfway through April, I'm keeping things simple with the them: TWO-SENTENCE HORROR!
I've assembled all the information into a book, here: https://www.wattpad.com/story/367151827-flash-fiction-contests. This will also be where I house the archive of winners, future contests, etc.
First, second, and third place stories will be featured on announced here on Wattpad AND will be featured on Underground Bookshelf, a platform that I created to celebrate diversity in literature and as a resource for people in need of more diverse literature.
I'm excited by the idea of hosting this series on Wattpad and I hope it works. I've never tried anything like this before, so I'm not even sure if it will be of interest to folks here, but I'm hoping it is a way for us all to celebrate each other as writers, to enjoy one another's work, and explore new stories, writers and genres that we might not otherwise engage with.
I can't wait to see what you create!
