Please Note: When a twist is included in the image, you must submit a story that includes the twist AND the random word.

Every day check to see if we’re throwing you a twist.

🌪 Twist

It’s Drabble and a Half Day! Write a story that’s 150 words… exactly.

Don’t forget to include the word of the day.

We want to write as well, so, I beg you… do your job and make sure your story is ready to go. We publish over 60 stories a day! Think about the amount of time that takes.

So, Are you ready to play?

Our goal for Fiction Shorts has always been to present a publication that attracts readers because of its quality, and writers because of its community.

We know 100 words are not a lot, but please tell a story that has a plot, a who, what, when, where, and why. It will help your reader connect if your character has a name. You want your readers to care. This is the challenge.

First, big thanks to the writers who consistently submit stories that are ready to go. You’re awesome!

Second, even the best mess up occasionally… This isn’t directed toward you.
