December Short Story Submission

Posted on by

Welcome to December’s Interactive Short Story submission post.

I’ve been a little busy and will hopefully publish November’s short story by the end of this week, I hope you are looking forward to it.
But time waits for no writer, and it is time for a new story and I need your short story ideas!

What I Need From You

  • Character(s) – Protagonist, Antagonist, love interest, etc. Anyone you feel is important. (names optional)
  • Setting – Where does the story take place?
  • What happens – eg. Orange moves into the Fruit Bowl.
  • Inciting incident – what changes? eg. Orange is a bit old and starts to go mouldy, the rest of the fruit in the Fruit Bowl try to work out a plan to get Orange out.
  • A small detail – something you want me to work in to the story. (optional)

You don’t have to include all of those details, though the more detail the better. If there’s something you want to add that you feel is important please do. Try and think of something that would, how shall we say, make it tricky for me. I dare you.

Try and put your idea into a short sentence or two, remembering that these submissions will go to vote, keep it snappy.

Submissions will go to reader vote on December 14th 2013 and will be open until midday on December 21st 2013.

I will write your idea as a short story for publishing on this blog.

Thank you for submitting an idea. Without you this blog won’t work.
I look forward to reading your ideas.
