Hey, SmackDowners of the Multiverse!
It's here! LayethTheSmackDown and Ooorah bring you
The Fabulous Spec-Fic SmackDown 2024
⚒
For those who never joined one of our SmackDowns™️ before and wonder how this works:
🔨 A SmackDown is a flash fiction contest over several rounds
🔨 Each round, the stories are judged by an anonymous judging team
🔨 Each round, part of the writers will be eliminated from the contest
🔨 Writing is prompt based — participants get assigned one or several prompts each round that must be integrated into their short story
🔨 The last remaining writer will be declared the winner, will earn the all important bragging rights, a weird sticker for their cover, and the illustrious title of SmackDown Champion.
⚒
Interested? Why not join in the party? We guarantee a lot of fun, an amazing team, and the finest selection of incredulous prompts.
You have one month to signal your interest by submitting a qualifying story. Qualifying stories won't be judged — but they are your free ticket into a world of fun, exciting, and ruthless flash fiction writing alongside an illustrious writer's community.
⚒
Your qualifying entry must be between 300 and 600 words long, be written in English, and be inspired by this picture
And since this is The Fabulous Spec-Fic SmackDown™️, you're free to pick the genre you want to write in for the qualifier, as long as your story counts as speculative fiction.
As for speculative fiction, it unites subgenres like fantasy, science fiction, horror, alternate history and more. It thus is an encompassing genre that freely explores possibility and impossibility alike.
⚒
Please publish your story on your Wattpad profile, share the link to your entry in the comments to this chapter, and fill the submission form linked in the inline comments here >>>>>
If you intend to join this SmackDown, we suggest you create a new SmackDown anthology on your profile. We will feature all the participants' anthologies on a special reading list.
Submission closes Sunday, July 28th 2024.
If you have questions, please ask in the comments.
See you soon!
