Most people are amazing at writing stories with a lot of words and chapters. But I want to see something different. I want to see who can get the most likes writing a story with only:

50 words

​Can you do it?

Everyone hates the generic old clichés. So this time, you get to kill the cliché. 

Here is the cliché:

"A boy is named the Chosen One in an eon-old prophecy."

Write anything based on the prompt, but be sure your story is unique and it deviates from the usual cliché.

Hopefully, you'll get some new story ideas, and more creative ways to spice up your stories by the end of of this this contest.

Good luck!

Start out with this sentence. 

We've all heard the fairytales: The charming knight finds the tower the beautiful princess is hidden away in, all to slay the evil dragon to bring her home and marry her. Right? Well, not anymore.

In this contest, take the story of the knight saving the princess from the tower and put an unlikely twist in it! Maybe the princess isn't a princess? The dragon's nice? It's actually a giant goat? The prince is like 85 years old? Take your pick!

Any genre or length is accepted. Have fun!

Prompt:

Rewrite a story in any genre! I want to hear your version of a story you've grown up hearing or just thought was interesting! It can be a fairytale/folktale, a ballet, a song, or any other type of story you can think of!

Edit: Since I've recieved 4 questions about what is acceptable source material within the last 24 hours, I just want to make it super, extremelyclear that you can write about anything you want. Anything at all. Only rule is that it has to be a retelling of something. Your options are practically limitless. :)

Rules:

1.Please refrain from retelling any well-known Grimm/Perault stories: Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Snow white, etc.

2.Word Count is unlimited! Go nuts!

3.I set the rating at PG-13, but as long as you don't go overboard, I really couldn't care less what you decide to put in your story. You're the writer, after all!

4. Any format is accepted too. Poems, short stories, anything.

Prize:

The three winners will get a secret prize sent to them!

Most importantly, be creative and have fun! ;)

Have you ever seen an amazing word in the dictionary which just makes you smile? Time to share it with Penana with the words definition.

The word can be in any language but if it isn't, could you give a translation please!

Also, if you want, you could make up an amazing word! Just please indicate this and put the meaning you would give to your word with it!

Good Luck!

B E S T C O M E B A C K    C O N T E S T #4

Write a comeback to one of the three insults:

1) "Well hunny, I can’t exactly insult your intelligence when you clearly don’t have any!”

2) “I’m a little busy right now….just call yourself an idiot for me.”

3)  “Shock me….say something intelligent.”

I will pick one winner from each insult and then rank those three as 1st, 2nd or 3rd place.

When you do enter a comeback make sure to put the number of the insult somewhere so I will be able to tell which insult you are responding to.

***You may enter more than once.***

You have 4 weeks to complete this challenge.

Thank you and bon chance!
