It has been a long time since we had our last proper challenge up for you. Even though not many of the requested ideas have become a story (maybe they nevertheless inspired you and you are still writing on it ;), we thought it would be nice to give you a fresh start with a new idea.
This is "Short Story-Challenge"
Put it in a nut shell, write less than six pages if you can!
To give you a little support, we put together a few characteristics of short stories...
Now, what’s a short story, aye? ;)
· The story starts abruptly, there is no introduction really
· Typically the ending is open
· Time warps are not very common. The story is told chronological and linear
· There is not much enquired about the characters
· The plot is described shortly and often deals with topics from the protagonists all day life
· There are only a few protagonists
· The ending is often a pointe, a surprising turn of events
· Instead of a long telling-tale time the short story gives a glimpse into a few minutes or hours
· Protagonists are often no heroes but mostly random and ordinary people
· One special event/ occasion/ incident is the center of the story
· Often there are no places or scenes named, often we don’t know where exactly
the story takes place
· Personal narrator instead of auctorial narrator
Now go get yourself a little challenge by clicking HERE (you can also find the link in the sidebar) and have fun writing!!
