Halloween Flash Fiction Contest




Welcome to the Halloween Flash Fiction Contest!!!

As some of you may know, Lykaia began as a flash fiction piece last October. So, in honor of its release lets have a bit of Halloween themed flash fiction fun!

Lykaia : Book One of the Sophia Katsaros Series








Here is how the contest will work….


  • There will be one contest each week for the month of October. 
  • That is 5 contests. 
  • The winners from the first 4 contests will compete for the grand prize on Halloween. 
  • The maximum number of submission will be 25. I have put limit on the submissions so that this does not get out of hand.

Story Guidelines

  • There is a limit of 1500 words or less.
  • All stories must be Halloween themed. That can include horror stories that scare the pants off of us, ghost stories or tales of the Paranormal.  

I will post the stories here, on my blog

Voting:

  • Anyone can vote, but one vote per person. 
  • Simply leave a comment for your favorite story. 
  • The story with the most comments wins. 
  • There will be one winner per week. 
  • Voting will open Monday of each week at 9AM. (If we reach our story limit early, I reserve the right to open voting early) 
  • Voting closes 9AM on Wednesday (central standard time)  


Rules:

  • Only one win per writer. 
  • Once a writer has won a contest, they cannot enter the following weeks.
  • Sharing the event is fine. Trolling for votes is not. Please do not canvas your social contacts for votes. Lets try to keep this a meritorious contest, not a popularity contest. 
  • You cannot vote for yourself.  
  • The blog will not accept anonymous or unknown votes.
  • Voting for the final round on Halloween will be limited to writers who have submitted stories. A jury of your peers, so to speak.


Swag:

The Grand Prize Winner on Halloween will receive...
  •  over 20 books, in ebook, paperback and hardcovers form. 
  • A $50.00 Amazon Gift Certificate
  • A coupon for 15% off of an editing package (its up to the writer to decide if they want to use it. I am not endorsing them)

*Note* if you wish to donate to the list of prizes, please message me on Facebook. Once the winner has been decided I will put that person in contact with the donors so that all the prizes go directly to the winner. Please do not send anything to me.


Lets have some fun!
