RE: FLASH FICTION - Last Call For Valhalla
The path of no return. I feel it's a fate that they have resigned to, no matter the outcome. Such a wonderful flash fiction entry, mate! I feel like this doesn't need a prequel, sequel or even an expanded explanation. It's already amazing the way it is.
Truly glad that you like it. I worked hard on this, despite it's limited word count. I wanted it to stand alone just as it is. Thanks for your feedback.
I do hope you get the win for this one! I wanted to make an entry, but I couldn't think of anything I was happy with.
I tend to stay away from contests these days. But this story came to me after viewing the image, so decided to go for it. Contests are funny things - the quality of writing is what is being judged, yet often the quality of judging leaves me a little confused.
That's why a clear criteria is helpful. Subjectivity almost always ends up with disagreements. It's either a quorum of judges is required or objective rules.
I agree, and that's why I tend to avoid them here. Professionally run competitions I would consider, as they can be great avenues for exposure.
Ditto! I've avoided them to save myself from anxiety.
And annoyance.
