Contest Sign-Up | December Series of Minis
2014 is on its way out and I say it's time to shake the dust of this year off our feet. So, I've tossed out most of the monthly contest guidelines*.
December will consist of four consecutive minis, each one is winner take all. Writers can enter each weekly contest regardless of the vote count for the prior week. Likewise, any writer who didn't enter in week one can enter in week two, or either of the subsequent installments of the December Series of Minis.
For this particular month of competition I will make Contest Sign-Up posts in which all writers intending to compete (for that week) are required to leave a comment. I have also asked that the community mods play -- be assured that none of the mods have prior knowledge of the prompts. I'm flying solo on this gig, and I'm telling them nothing! Mwahahaha!
Each weekly winner will win a small but shiny token of my appreciation (that will be shipped in January). Voting is important in this game, so tell all your reading and writing friends to join in! Seriously, don't play the humble amateur writer for December. You are awesome and we want to read you. Go for the guts and gold!
A secondary but equally FUN prize: Names of contestants who enter all four weekly minis will be tossed into a hat and one will be chosen to host a month of prompts in 2015.
For my darling Flames, as well as for those writers I haven't had the pleasure to meet yet, I'm giving a hint at the first topic prior to the OFFICIAL TOPIC POST that will appear Saturday December 6th. Share it with others. Remind them that sign-ups will also be offered on Facebook and @flamestorming. Hurry! Sign-ups end Friday, December 5th at Midnight EST.
Week One Hint: Natural
*No word limits or genre restrictions exist for this series of minis, however, do keep the standard guidelines in mind, particularly with respect to trigger warnings and general readership regardless if you are sharing your stories on LiveJournal or another site.
Questions are welcome. Ask away!
