Then this is YOUR CHANCE to become the Osu! Flash Fiction Champion!
The rules are simple: (And stolen from here)
- 1. Each Week, there shall be crowned ONE CHAMPION.
- 2. Following the crowning of a Champion, the new Champ must provide a writing prompt and a word count limit. (Not to exceed 3000 because we're all busy people.) The Champion must not dilly-dally. He must perform this first duty within 24 hours of his coronation.
- 3. Once the Champion announces the prompt and word limit, the round begins. Anyone may submit a story. Once the round begins, you have SEVEN DAYS to post in-thread with a fictional story pertaining to the prompt and word count.
- 4. After the deadline, The Champion must judge all participants and choose a winner within FORTY-EIGHT HOURS.
- 5. Once the winner is chosen, that winner becomes the new Champion and we return to step one. Enjoy your crown, for victory is fleeting.
- Although the reigning Champion has sole judging power, anyone may critique anyone else's stories. Please refrain from critiquing stories during the seven-day competition period. Critiques, however, are encouraged during the two-day judging period.
- No Champion may reign two weeks in a row. The current champion is barred from selecting his own story to win (obviously), but he may if he chooses, write a story for the hell of it.
In the event the Champion is lax in his duty of providing a prompt and word limit, one will be selected at random. In the event the Champion fails to choose a winner, a vote shall be taken. I will be angry if this occurs, because this isn't a freaking democracy.- If one so chooses, one may ask the reigning champion for a Challenge before writing. The Champion should then assign them some small (or large) challenge that is unique to them. They should attempt to complete the challenge while remaining within the bounds of the prompt and word count. You receive nothing for successfully completing a challenge except style points. An example of a challenge may be along the lines of, "Your story must include a duck," or "Your protagonist must be a deaf-mute." Please note that should you request a challenge, you are at the mercy of the champion and you will probably get something outlandish.
- If the osu! Writer's Circle becomes so popular that the Champion cannot judge all submissions, I reserve the right to allow Champions to name co-judges. This may be necessary going forward depending on popularity, or it may not.
Submission Guidelines
- All stories must fall below the word count, or you are disqualified.
- Post your story directly into the thread. Spoilerbox tag it, this thread shouldn't become 1 huge wallpost..
- When submitting your story, there is to be no preamble, none of that bull. Your story must fall under the word count in its entirety.
- When you post your story, it should consist of nothing but your story name and your word count, followed by your story itself.
- Please post /in if you plan on writing. This does not obligate you to write; it's just to keep track of how many people join (and to bump the thread from time to time).
