I have a thing for Flash Fiction; I just love the crazy, weird, wacky prompts and the range of stories that can come from a one-line prompt. So for those of you who share my sentiments Holly Schindler, author of 2010 debut A Blue So Dark, is currently doing a super awesome Halloween-themed Flash Fiction contest over on her blog, hollyschindler.blogspot.com!
Here are the details from Holly herself:
"I’m currently running a Flash Fiction Challenge at my blog: you write the prompts, and I write the fiction. She (or he) who sends in the “best” prompt (I’m leaving it to the bloggers to decide) will get a prize in time for the holidays.For October, I’m looking for a creepy, horrible, deliciously awful prompt! Get twisted, and send me your most terrifying ideas to writehollyschindler (at) yahoo (dot) com by October 2…Check out the complete lowdown on the challenge, the details for October, and the piece I wrote in September based on a blogger-generated prompt!"
Get thinking creepy thoughts and send your prompt ideas over to Holly. I will be trying to come up with something ghoulish to send her way this weekend.

A bit about Holly:
"I received my master’s degree in 2001, and decided to devote full-time effort to my writing. After (literally) wearing out half a dozen computer keyboards, I’m THRILLED to have released my debut YA novel, A BLUE SO DARK (Flux), last May. I blog about the writing life, and about BLUE and my forthcoming novel, PLAYING HURT, at hollyschindler.blogspot.com."Be on the look out for a review of A Blue so Dark and more from Holly as the release of Playing Hurt approaches.
Thanks so much for the post about the Flash Fiction Challenge, Sarah! Can't wait to get some terrifying prompts!
ReplyDeleteHey Holly, I'm looking forward to reading what you come up with! I was really hoping to send in a prompt myself, but I don't think I'll have time with classes starting and family visiting :( Hope the contest goes well!
