Nothing Fancy
A contest for simple short stories.
Rated:
13+
by
Avg Rating: (15)


I have found so many poetry contests. I love poetry but my favorite item to read is the short story, not too short, not too long, with good characterizations. This contest is just for such a short story.

The short story should have a beginning, a middle and an ending with something creative to enjoy. I am partial to works of fiction, but a story about your life will be all right if it has those attributes.

*Star*The Rules*Star*


1) The story must be under 3,000 words.
2) It must be entered using the item or bitem format (let me know if you do not know how to do that). The story may have any rating, but any message in the forum, i.e., the entry or its description, must have an E rating.
3) It must not have been awarded before in any other contest, but it does not have to be a newly created story.
4) You may enter up to two entries each week. Entries exceeding 30 for the week will be carried over to the next week, i.e., maximum of 30 entries per week. If fewer than five entries, only the first place will be awarded.
5) First place may not be won back to back; there must be at least one week between wins (one month in case of the Grand Prize).
6) The contest runs from Monday 12:00 a.m. WDC time through Sunday Midnight.. Awards will be given the next day, if possible.
7) Items above the 18+ rating will not be accepted.
