Chatterbox Challenge

It will be your mission, if you so choose to accept, to have your Flash Fic fulfill the following elements:

  1. Must be 1000 words or less. As per usual (not including Author's Note, Disclaimer, Title, etc.).
  2. Dialogue only. There can be minimal description/narration, but it will be frowned upon.
  3. Two characters. Key here is to characterize through the dialogue.
  4. It has to be a proper story with a beginning and end. It cannot just be a scene where two people engage in witty repartee with no plot.

Happily Ever After Challenge

It will be your mission, if you so choose to accept, to have your Flash Fic fulfill the following elements:

PPREMISE: Write a love story with a happy ending. Fluff is welcome. (Note: By love story, we simply mean romance. You don't need to tell the entire life story of two individuals and how they fell in love within 1,000 words. :P)

GOAL: Ending cannot be cliched. Key is to write an original happily-ever-after ending.

Some endings that will get you a score of 0 for the Originality component: (Read: Avoid them.)

  1. "I love you." "I love you, too." [insert kiss]
  2. "I have loved/liked/adored/wanted you since the day I laid eyes on you." "Me, too!" [insert kiss]
  3. [witty comment] [witty retort] [insert kiss] — Just because the dialogue is snappy doesn't make it an original ending.
