With two anthologies already published under the Flash Fiction Challenge banner, Absolute Xpress is conducting its 3rd challenge with the theme, and title, of “Thieves and Scoundrels”.
The rules are simple: The story must fit within the theme (see below); the story must be under 1000 words; and it must be submitted by midnight PST on January 15th 2010.
All the entries will be reviewed blind by a panel of judges and the very best will be selected for publication in the next Flash Fiction Challenge anthology due out in February or March of 2010.
For more information on how to submit your story to the flash fiction challenge, check out the contest page: http://absolute-x-press.com/flash-fiction-challenge or click on “Flash Fiction Challenge” at the top of the website.
Theme for Challenge #3: Thieves and Scoundrels
Would your characters try to swindle a dragon out of his treasure? Perhaps they’d try to steal the fastest spaceship in the galaxy? Or are they after something a little more sinister that’s in need of taking? Where ever and when ever they take place, the stories of these Thieves and Scoundrels will take hold of your imagination and ransom it back to you.
NOTE: all stories submitted to the Flash Fiction Challenge must fit within the genres of Science Fiction, Fantasy or Horror.
All of us here at AXP look forward to your entries.
