 |  Special flash fiction round for the month of November! |
 A big thank you to Cinn  for the lovely blue ribbon that adorns this contest. “I discovered that if one looks a little closer at this beautiful world, there are always red ants underneath.”-- David Lynch I have always had a preference for writings, movies, and art that deviate from the norms of thought, sometimes verging on strange. So for this contest, I challenge you to step outside of conforming to society's rules of correctness. Horror, dark satire, and romance with a dark or demented twist are a plus in this contest.   Accepting short stories only. Accepting fiction only. Your story must be newly written for this contest and follow the monthly prompt. Stories must be between 500-5000 words in length. For the month of November I'll only be accepting stories 500 words or less. Ratings of stories may be up to XGC. Accepting all genres except for children's. The writing may contain some erotica and/or explicit sexual scenarios, but it may not be the overall plot. I will not accept writings advocating sexual assault, pedophilia, scat, or racism. You may submit up to two stories. Entry must be submitted in bitem or entry format (if you aren't sure how refer to "Video: Linking to an Item"  for directions) Editing is allowed after entry has been submitted. Contest start date begins September 1 at 12:01 a.m. and ends at 11:59 p.m. on the last day of November. I plan to offer a choice of three different prompts each round. You may use one prompt, or if you are really adventurous, you may choose more than one prompt for each of your entries.  Prizes 1st place -25K ribbon and Distorted Minds merit badge (3 or more entries) 2nd place -10k ribbon and Distorted Minds merit badge(5 or more entries) 3rd place - 10k ribbon or Distorted Minds merit badge (7 or more entries) Honorable mentions will receive 5,000 gift points and be given out at the judge's discretion. Judges I'm always looking for guest judges, so If you are interested in helping me judge the contest, contact me.  Prompt 1 ** Image ID #2157797 Unavailable ** Prompt 2 Write a story based on one of the following quotes: “Naughty John, Naughty John, does his work with his apron on. Cuts your throat and takes your bones, sells ’em off for a coupla stones.”- The Diviners (Libba Bray) Or “Despite my ghoulish reputation, I really have the heart of a small boy. I keep it in a jar on my desk.”- Robert Bloch Prompt 3 Pen a story which centers around a dysfunctional family gathering.
