Short stories are always meant to be read in one sitting. There 6 letter stories for people with short attention span and novels for people who love to read. I've met a few who don't want too minimal words and novels. Friends of mine, some of them, want stories that only have 500-1000 words.

My prof liked 500-word story challenges a lot. And I hated it. Because it's easier to check. I hated it because it's hard to form a story within 500 words that has a conflict, climax, symbolism and whatnot. This contest is just purely for the fun in it that there are stories that can be written within 500 words that follows Freytag's triangle. I'll tag this R so you can experiment with different genres, styles and ratings. Add the rating on the title to let others know.

For you who like poems, this is a great place for you. 

Now you have to write a poem, just one. Minimal four rows, but if you want more than four rows, it's better. It can be any genre. You're free.

Make it creative.

You have two weeks for this. So, happy writing!! :)

Write a nice romantic story. I look forward to your entries. Thanks!

So we hear a lot of quotes said by people and try to relate ourselves with it. But can we make a story out of a quote? Hmm...

Now, that requires some serious imagination and creativity.

Well, if you like a little bit of twist then join this contest and let your creative juices flow! You have to make a story on any one of the following quotes (don't worry these are popular quotes and you must have heard of at least one):

1. You can do anything, but not everything.—David Allen

2. You must be the change you wish to see in the world.—Gandhi

3. When hungry, eat your rice; when tired, close your eyes. Fools may laugh at me, but wise men will know what I mean.—Lin-Chi

4. Everyone is a genius at least once a year. The real geniuses simply have their bright ideas closer together.—Georg Christoph Lichtenberg

5. Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.—Oscar Wilde

6. Sometimes I worry about being a success in a mediocre world.—Lily Tomlin

7. The person who reads too much and uses his brain too little will fall into lazy habits of thinking.—Albert Einstein

8.I am patient with stupidity but not with those who are proud of it.—Edith Sitwell

9. The best way to predict the future is to create it—Abraham Lincoln

10. If we wait until we're ready, we'll be waiting for the rest of our life—Lemony Snicket

Word limit: 1000 to 2500 words

Usage: You must use that quote at least once in your story as a punch line or in between talks, anything.

Requirements: If you cannot create a story based upon the quote then just use it as a line said between dialogues, but it should make sense. The title of your story should be the quote you're using.

Deadline: Since its a difficult task, the deadline is 4 weeks.

Judging: By me

Rating: G

Prompt:

Write a Six-word story.

Here is an example from Ernest Hemingway:

"For Sale: Baby Shoes, Never Worn."

​Unleash your creativity under the 6-word limit!

This summer, an anonymous person has sent party invites to six teenagers. Write a murder mystery consisting of these six teens. The person who has the best murder mystery/most likes wins. Here are the six teenagers: Kristina, Amanda, Sarah, Jeffrey, Noel, and Brendan.

Be creative. Make unique personalities for each of the characters that will make your story exciting and enjoyable to read.

You are only allowed one entry, so write your whole story in that one entry. Also, name your entry as your name and don't publish it until it is done or until the contest ends.

Btw, don't make it too long or too short. No need to make this a boring contest. ;)

HAVE FUN!!!!!!!! :)
