New Contest?

Yes, as soon as we close out the Strongest Start.

Good news. Thanks Sol.

Apologies for my impatience .

O My, T. A. I'm going to have nightmares after that haiku and image!

A Literary Fiction competition is exclusive and would exclude 95% of us mortal authors whilst causing an explosion of thesaurus substituted semi-appropriate words.

Then of course, would ensue the perpetual discourse upon what actually constitutes/qualifies 'Literary Fiction'.

A cracking story entry could fail to meet the the 'Literary Fiction Genre' criteria (whatever that definitively is?), whilst a mundane effort could be more (or technically) in line with 'Literary Fiction' style and take the biscuit.

I'd like to see a more open contest with a competition that doesn’t restrict genres and formats. If the objective were to coin a 'subject' then all 'styles' of creative writing (short stories, poems etc.) would be admissible.

Why not just write something (short story, poem, essay, novel chapter, whatever) for that all/multi inclusive "other" category and let the best words win? Take care. Vern
