Hello fiction writers of OS! Here you'll find weekly prompts for Fiction Weekend, as well as links to stories written for each Fiction Weekend Open Call._____________________ EVERYONE is welcome to participate in the open calls. THE ONLY REQUIREMENT IS TO WRITE A FICTION PIECE! __________________________________ Here's how to take part in Fiction Weekend: 1. Every Monday, a prompt will be posted here. Come by and check it out. 2. Ideally, try to write a fiction story based on the prompt. But if the prompt doesn't inspire you, you can write a story on any topic you like - THE ONLY RULE IS THAT IT HAS TO BE A WORK OF FICTION. 3. On Thursday night or Friday morning-ish, the Stories List will be posted for that week. If you've written a story, announce it in the comments section of this post. Please include a short description and the title. 4.

Weekend Fiction Stories for 6/15-17 2012

Rate: 8 Flag
 
 
This is the place to read Fiction Weekend stories for this Friday/Saturday/Sunday - and to announce your own piece! 

Stories will be posted throughout the weekend, so feel free to check back regularly for new pieces to read.

If you're participating, announce your piece with its title and a brief description in the Comments section of this post.

This week's prompt was:
 
 
Write a story about an unusual Father's Day gift.  
 
 
Or, if that didn't inspire you, you could write a fiction piece on any topic, in any style you want.

Everyone is welcome to join in - if you feel inspired, go for it! 

The only requirement is that a piece announced in the comments be a fiction piece.  

If you're not sure what qualifies as "fiction" in terms of the Fiction Club, please read this.   

For information about how to announce a story, etc, please see our "Bio" in the left margin of this page.

You have all weekend to write your story and announce it in the comments section below.

Happy writing and reading!

I have written a sequel to my "Wolf" story, titled "Wolf II", for the time being. It concerns the background of my character, Frank, which includes details about his parents, so in that way it has something to do with the prompt.

Father and Daughter, A Special Day: This is the title of my story this week!

My story this week is called Fifty Shades of Kayne. As the title might suggest to you, it's a bit racy at points. Solomon Kayne is on the trail of a Cthulhu cult again, but to find where their ominous lair exists, he must extract the information from a young woman with, ahem, interesting tastes. You know best what will offend you so proceed with caution. Happy reading!
