30daychallenge adultfiction challenge collection crime death flash flashfiction generalfiction grownupreads horror lesbian love murder prompt romance shortstory suspense teen

This is a 30 day writing challenge, a collection of short stories. I've always been a world class procrastinator. The goal of this challenge is to get me writing regularly and, hopefully, break me of the perfectionist thinking that often paralyses me.

The Rules:
1. Write and publish 1 short story (flash fic, vignette) per day for 30 days.
2. Stories must be at least 100 words.
3. They can be of any genre or subject matter.

Like a lot of writers I have notebooks lying around full of random story ideas. Most of my older ideas are for novels and screenplays. Been going thru my old ideas and picking out the ones I think lend themselves to the short story format. I'm also working on coming up with NEW ideas that I can use here. Never been good at using prompts, but this is a good opportunity to experiment with those. 

All the stories here are original works written specifically for this challenge. They were written on the day they were published unless otherwise stated. Any similarities to other writers' work is purely coincidental. 
Thanks & enjoy!

It took my all self control not to moan at his electrifying soft touches. No. This is wrong. It's can be happening. At least not here. Not with him. I tried to push him and only that's when I realise that my hands are in his tight grip on either side of my head. My arch my back as his lips brush against my neck. My body pressed tightly to his as he pressed me back to the softness of bed. Waves of heat sprawl in my spine as he bite down lightly on my neck. But instead of pain I felt... Fuck. What I'm doing? Just one word and he will be gone. My just one order and a bullet will be in his head. I could have him killed right here, on the spot. But do I really want to?

Dream for the Dead (Completed/Editing) by JamTartt

Tabitha and her mother think they have found themselves the perfect place to live: an extremely affordable mansion in a small town far away from Tabitha's father, a monster of a human being. However, if something seems too perfect to be true, it probably is. Tabitha meets a strange boy named Elias, a boy she finds hanging around on the mansion grounds. That's when Tabitha's life becomes rather peculiar, and she is forced into discovering some things she may have been better off never knowing. Our protagonist is thrown into a world of self discovery: a completely new world she never thought could really exist; a place where she must face her greatest fears, and unearth the bravery she never knew she had. Filled with terror, trying to muster unknown courage and motivated by the strength of young, fresh love and goodwill, Tabitha embarks on a journey like no other. But will her decision to save others put her own life in danger? (A paranormal novel with aspects of romance, violence, murder and time travel. I completed this work in 2015 and regularly check back to do minor edits and sometimes add facts/character histories etc. PLEASE NOTE THAT HEAVY THEMES ARE PRESENT IN THIS STORY, INCLUDING MURDER, SUICIDE AND A REFERENCE TO SEXUAL ASSAULT. PLEASE, IF YOU KNOW ANY OF THESE THEMES WILL HAVE AN EFFECT ON YOU, RECONSIDER YOUR NEED TO READ. Thank you).

Prompted Fiction by CarolinaC

A self-challenge wherein I take a prompt found on the internet, and write whatever I am inspired to write. Expect to see a wide variety of genres - the only rules I've given myself is that what I write must be fictional, and it must, must, must be short.

The Bad Girl's a Virgin✓ by spanishlife

Zana Mccarthy is a bad girl with a reputation to scare, but she does a good job of balancing the good, the bad and the ugly in her life. But this all changes when Zana finally goes on a date with her long time crush, Jackson who subsequently leaves her in a middle of a date passed out by the ocean. This precedes a series of outrageous, dangerous, heartbreaking adventures where Zana discovers herself and how far she will go for the people she really loves. Will the bad girl fall slowly into the chaos? Or will she give up the one thing that sets her apart for a chance at real love. He came around to the side of the bed and bent over looking at me in the eye. A smirk formed on his face. As if it was amusing to see me scared out of my mind in Diana's bedroom. "Well," he begins, "It seems you have a nac for getting into trouble." I folded my arms, turned my nose up, and sized him up. "It seems your brother has a nac for being a douchebag," I snap back. He raised his hand up in surrender and back away slightly. He still had an amused look plastered in his face but the smirk was gone. "Fine you win!" I puffed an approval as an answer. He came closer then stared. "Get up. I'm taking you home sugarplum." I tightened the fold of my arms then looked at him with womanly confidence. "First of all, who the fuck gave you a right to give me orders. Second, don't call me sugarplum. . . . . " This is a wild tale, of love, secrets, mystery and murder no one will ever see coming!! NB: This story contains foul language and violent scenes. Please be advised. First in three part series( Bad Girl's Trials) Ranked #424 in popular out of 21.4K stories Ranked #330 in player out of 13.1k stories

Stories by authoraesthete

Hello there! Welcome to my book of short stories! As you have probably already figured out on your own, this is where I post my miscellaneous stories, some of which I did for fun, others are prompts, or contest entries, etc. Fanfiction chapters will be labeled with "ff", so if that is not your preference, you can skip them. *note: if you would like to see some of my newer works, I would recommend checking out my new book of short stories, Stories, Cont.* <>Evara<>

Flumptober - 2022 by Ginnivee

I saw these great prompts in @LuckyBugBooks 's Flumptober book, so I've decided to try my hand at the challenge! I'm a little nervous, cuz this is my first time doing something like this, but I'm mostly excited because this sounds like a lot of fun! Keep in mind, most (if not all) of these prompts are short stories/one-shots, so don't come expecting a long, fulfilled story with a plot. Cover made by fanart I found online and Canva.

Over the Wall: A Collection of Short Stories (NaNoWriMo 2014) by emmernemmer

This year for NaNoWriMo, I am writing a short story anthology. It will feature thirty or so short stories (my hope is to write one per day to fulfill my 1,667 per day word requirement) about varying things. Each morning, I will randomly select a number between one and thirty and I will look at the corresponding list of first lines I will have. I will take that line and write a short story using it and then the next day I will do the process over again (some stories might relate to each other, some might not). Anyway I will edit the story for that day and post it here. It may not be posted exactly on the corresponding day, but in the end there will be thirty short stories. P.S. Although these are somewhat edited they are still rough drafts so please treat them as such.
