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!
