Theme - "Overheard"
Word Limit: 1900
Submission Deadline: Friday 24th February by 11:59 PM Pacific.
Voting Deadline: Monday 27th February at 11:59 PM Pacific.
Optional Secondary Objective: Resistant to Change
You can take "resistant to change" to mean whatever it means to you. To add to your brainstorm, I wonder what it'd be like to have a protagonist who perhaps doesn't grow, learn, or change. Or even who doesn't have a realization. Or maybe a protagonist that's focusing on the "wrong" thing. If there were such a resistant or aloof protagonist, would we still root for them? You don't have to consider any of this mumbo-jumbo. That's why it's optional!
Submission Guidelines:
- One entry per poster.
- All submissions must be written during the time of the challenge.
- Using the topic as the title of your piece is discouraged.
- Keep to the word count!
- Follow this rules when posting your entry for easy collection of entries:
Voting Guidelines:
- Three votes per voter. Please denote in your voting your 1st (3 pts), 2nd (2 pts), and 3rd (1 pt) place votes.
- Please read all submissions before voting.
- You must vote in order to be eligible to win the challenge.
- When voting ends, the winner gets a collective pat on the back, and starts the new challenge.
Important side note: A lot of our regulars like to write out short critiques/comments for the stories, but you can always opt out by simply adding a note like "I'd prefer no critiques" in the post where you submit your story. We're an understanding group and respect that not everyone wants comments on their work. Above all, we just want to read your story.
