@Ooorah and @LayethTheSmackDown sponsor this flash fiction contest each year. We Smackdowners write stories on prompts for (hopefully) several rounds, based on a theme, and the last writer standing is the winner. These are my entries.

Mabinogi (Fantasy Smackdown)
Mabinogi is a short story collection. All of these works have been written for The Pub's Fantasy Smackdown, a contest in which contestants have two weeks to write fantasy stories meeting the specifications laid out by the smackdown's hosts - in this case, @jewel1307 and @xxButterflyKissesxx. Check the Media widget in the right-hand column to see the images that the stories are based on!

SmackDown: MadMike's Revenge!
Left beaten, bloodied and bruised in a ditch somewhere, @MadMikeMarsbergen lost the Pot 1 Finals of SmackDown: The Second Coming to @torontojim (who later ended up winning the Grand Finals, too). Now he's back to get some revenge on all you competitors... in @Ooorah's SmackDown: MadMike's Revenge! Open to all. This will be the most challenging, diverse and awesome SmackDown yet, with lots of new twists. Have fun!

SmackDown: Back to Our Roots
Our previous two SmackDowns were both massive successes, and it's high time for another. You might remember the last one was heavy on the "game" elements, maybe even too heavy. This time we're going back to the basics and keeping it simple. It's just a motherfuckin' sci-fi SmackDown: a heated writing contest where contestants are given text-, music- and visual-based prompts, and then they need to write a short story around that, following which they're judged for their efforts and either move on to the next round or they get eliminated from the competition. But there's gotta be some kind of twist, right? For this one we're waxing nostalgic, we're looking back into our past. We're going back to our roots.
