The return of #ZapFicMonday! This week's challenge: Write Me A Story Using 240 Characters Or Less

in Freewriters • last year (edited)

Hey there ZapFicers!

It has been a while. I needed to take a break but I’m back now.

In order to not crash and burn (and to ensure I can give each of your stories the attention they deserve) I am going to only run one ZapFic Contest a week. They will alternate between the original ZapFic (240 characters or less) contest and ZapFic50 (precisely 50 words) contest

The contest prompt will always be on a Monday and you will have until midnight GMT (UTC) on Thursday to submit your entry. I will then judge and make the awards sometime over the weekend.

ZapFicMonday - The Original ZapFic

This is the original ZapFic contest! Write me a story using 240 characters or less!

You have 3 days (until Thursday 23h59 GMT) to post a Zapfic (a story written in 240 characters or less) using the prompt given.

Please note it is a story with 240 characters (letters, full stops, spaces, etc) NOT words!

Rewards

All valid posts will be upvoted and reblogged by @felt.buzz and @Zapfic.Club

Three winners will be chosen over the weekend, each will get 1 Hive SBI share.

The three winners will also get 100% upvote from @felt.buzz and @zapfic.club on their link drop comment on this post.

And @itsostylish has generously offered to give a 25HP delegation for one month to one winner!

3 runners up will also receive a 50% upvote on their link drop comment, in this post, from @felt.buzz

Rules:

Please post to the Freewriters Community.

Please post a link to your entry in the comments section of this post

Please use the tags: #zapfic and #zapficmonday

YOU MUST use a word/character counter (if you search for word counter on the internet or in your phone's app store you will get a big choice!) wordcounter.net and include a screenshot. Entries without a screenshot will NOT be valid

Please use the prompt provided as you see fit (use your imagination)

Try to tell a complete story if you can!

The story should only be 240 characters long (including spaces) - can be shorter, but not longer!

…

Prompt: “army"

The winners will be announced by the @zapfic.club this weekend! Look out for the post in the Freewriters Community!

    Welcome back! I can 100% understand prompt-related burnout lol! That said, I thought I'd throw a curve-ball and do something fun with this one.

      Welcome back ! I'm glad you're back, but I hope you had the break you needed and deserved. 😀 Don't put pressure on yourself, I'm sure no-one will mind if prompts happen when you feel like doing it.

      Here's my post on this one.... https://ecency.com/hive-161155/@alonicus/zapfic-monday-returns-and-it

                        We all need breaks from time to time. Welcome back and am glad that you have made it once a week, hopefully that is much more manageable.

                        Here is my entry and Merry Christmas 🎅

                          My favorite micro story has returned. Welcome back! and I'm late, but will join in just for fun.

                          Take care.
