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. Show support for your fellow participants: If possible, please try to read and comment on at least three stories. ________________ For more information, or if you have any questions, please see the list of links below, or feel free to contact me!__________Happy reading and writing!

Fiction Weekend Prompt for 7/20-22 2012

Rate: 5 Flag

This week's prompt is inspired by the NPR Three-Minute Fiction Contest.  I keep looking out for the latest round, so I can let you guys know about it, but in the meantime, why not use one of their old prompts:
 
Write a story where one character comes to town and one character leaves town.
 
Or, if that doesn't inspire you, write a fiction piece on any topic, in any style you want.

I'll post the Stories List Thursday night or Friday morning, and participants are free to announce their stories throughout the weekend.

REMEMBER, everyone is welcome to participate in the OS Weekend Fiction Club - the only requirement is that your piece be a work of fiction.

 If you don't know what "Fiction" means in terms of this blog, please see this post for an explanation.

 If you feel inspired, come join in!  For information on how, check out the basic info in the profile column, near the top left of the border of our blog.

 Happy writing!

Glad you are back, Alysa. I am glad that spider didn't get you.
Thanks, Gerald! I'm glad to be back, and glad the spider didn't get me, too! :-)
I am back after a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time. Here's my entry and the first for this week none the less :)

I'm vacationing and will see you later.
I guess I'm the one leaving town and coming to another town!
Sounds like Sci Fi Portals to me. Interesting.
My short story this week, "The Woman with the Golden Ribbon," might be a liberal interpretation of the prompt. One character is definitely new to town. The other...............well, you decide.
And I'm in too!
