Flash Fiction Friday Challenge for 4-16-10


Your challenge for this Friday, 4-16-10, is to use the photo above to write a flash fiction of....let's say 62 to 82 words this week. As usual, nobody's checking word counts, but you only cheat yourself if you break the rules. Unless you're breaking them to earn a spanking....in which case, see me after class.

As always, if you're planning on joining in the fun, please email me (insatiabear (AT) gmail [DOT] com) or leave a comment here. If you don't let me know you're playing, you might get left off the list of participants when I post it on Friday. And nobody wants that. :)

Here's a button for you if you want to include that in your post. Use it to link back to the challenge post, if you like, or link to the Flash Fiction Friday FAQ if you'd rather do that....or, if you participate late in the day, you can even link it to my Friday story post with the list of participants.


Also, I'm now openly soliciting photo submissions from all of you folks. If you have a photo you'd love to see used in a future challenge, by all means send that my way.

Check back here on Friday for my take on the challenge and the list of participants, and then again on Monday for the next FFF challenge!

  1. Hrm....i'm thinking about this one, Panser, it's certainly...and unusual pic...left me unsettled.

    I have a suggestion/idea for next week...i wonder if you could come up with a word that must be used in the writing to go along with the pic. It could be something diametrically opposed, like...egg. Or....mollify. or or...pouch...or...*waves hand in air* You get me, right? If someone keeps to the word count *and* uses the word of the week...then they get to be listed first in the review. Or something. Yanno? Feel free to say "nilla, that's just ass-crack stoopid". (but it would be better to say "nilla, that's fucking brilliant!" *giggles)

    TTFN!

  4. Nilla: 'Tis indeed meant to unsettle a bit. I don't want just the vanilla stuff, if you get me. :) Your idea on using a challenge word as well is an interesting one. I'll think that one over and may incorporate that one next week. Do please let me know if you decide to play along this week. :)

    Spring Flower: Can do! Glad to have you, as always.

    Gray: Awesome! I'll add you to the list of participants. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.
