This contest has ended! Looking for an opportunity to write flash fiction and get helpful feedback? Head over to Thunderdome! https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3953574 ![]() image courtesy of curlingiron Welcome to the party. Write It Now is a fiction contest. You may sign up now up until 3/4/21 @ 9PM EST. On 3/5/21 @ 9PM EST, a prompt will drop. At that point, start punching keys, because only a mere 2 hours later at 11PM EST, submissions will close. On your honor, do not write anything in advance or prepare for this contest. Any registered member of SA is welcome to join. Judgment will be fast, and all entries will be judged by myself, and notable writers sebmojo & Ironic Twist. We will declare a winner, a place, and a show. As of now, the first prize will be 50/50. 50 dollars to the winning author, and another 50 dollars to the charity of their choice. If we hit over ten entries a place prize of 30/30 shall be awarded. If we hit over twenty entries a show prize of 20/20 shall be awarded. If we get to over twenty entries… I may be inclined to get creative. And that’s it! The prompt will be specific, but not inherently challenging. There will be no other flash rules or conditions. Also, I do understand that this contest is inherently going to be biased to some specific time zones. If it goes well, hopefully, more can happen later that will favor other locations. Some things:
Your Judges: Chili Sebmojo Ironic Twist Fast Folks: For those who have opted to share any sort of streaming/document, it'll be next to their name.

Loving the sign-ups so far! Quick reminder that I'm seeking someone to volunteer to copy posts from here into a google doc for anonymous judging purposes. If you're up for helping with that, please let me know!

What a neat idea, I hope this goes well. If it didn't happen at 3 AM for me I might even participate. On that note, have you considered having this during the weekend instead of a weekday? That would give people in other timezones more flexibility to participate.

That would give people in other timezones more flexibility to participate. My availability is somewhat limited so I'm also running this when it can be done for me. Friday night my time was the best time to make this work for me as well.

It me! I don't think there are any specific rules against editing your post after the fact - but I will be whacking these into a google doc pretty quickly and efficiently on an as-is where-is basis. I therefore can't guarantee that the version with that better metaphor you edited in 5 mins after posting - or the one where you fixed the typo in your title - will be the version the judges read.

This is absolutely a terrible idea on my part, but I'll join in for good fun.
