The Overlord and Grand Quillmaster of the Library, or Velox as he is more commonly known, has opened up a very cool contest: 12 short stories, 2 weeks, 400-600 words max, alternating Bionicle and COT.

Flash fiction can be very fun, and writing under a word limit can be as well (contrary to what college applications lead you to believe), so I'm taking this opportunity to advertise what I'm sure is going to be a blast.

That said, given my schedule for the next two weeks, I probably won't be able to enter a good deal of these (though I'm willing to bet I'd run out of creative juice even if did, so I guess it's a wash). But that's the fun part! No need to worry about entering all of them; if one catches your fancy, throw caution to the wind and go do it.

Hopefully my complete lack of anything resembling charisma hasn't completely turned you off entering. Seriously though, go do it. I promise it'll be awesome.
