Unfortunately, one of my lovely participants has had to withdraw from the Advent Calendar Story Train due to unforeseen circumstances. So I have a single slot still open. Do you want to join the Train or do you know someone who might be interested?

Interested? Read on.

Advent Calendar Story Train

To join the Train you need to be able to write a single, self-contained, flash fiction story, based on a specific theme that will be supplied if you are accepted.

Every writer will be given a date in December when their story needs to be published on their blog/website*.

Each writer will also be given a section of text with links to add to their blog post that links to the previous and following story (linking us all like carriages on a Train)

Requirements

Before you decide to join this train, here are some details you need to be aware of:

The Stories

• The stories do not have to connect to each other (except that they share a theme)
• The theme is “Surprise”
• Your story must be in English
• Your story must not exceed 1,000 words
• Your story must not include extremely graphic scenes
• Any genre is welcome (except erotica / graphic horror etc – see above point)

The Participants

• You can still participate if you’ve never written flash fiction before, first timers welcome! Maybe give it a try! 🙂
  
• You must have a blog* for your story to be uploaded too
• You must be able to commit to completing your flash fiction by October at the latest – preferably by September
• This is a first come first serve system.
• Your specific date will be issued later in the year.
• If you know someone interested in this feel free to share it with them.

* If you have a Wattpad, ko-fi page, or a Medium account you can list the story – this is also acceptable – but your story must be publically available.

As long as the story can be uploaded (preferably scheduled) on the specific date you are given and if links can be added to link to previous and following stories.

Happy writing & stay safe

I write articles on writing, marketing, blogging, organising, social media, books and some random stuff.  I also create free printable resources.  If you find my content helpful, and entertaining and like what I do, consider supporting me on ko-fi (where you will also find extra content I post). 

All donations go to keeping my website running and helping me move towards publishing my novels.
