Put your best efforts on display for 100 words (more or less) and hop on board so we can all see what you’ve written this Friday (come back to my blog and follow the links).
For those of you who want to pre-load your posts, here’s the link to where my story will be: Friday Story Page. The page is there, the picture is there, the link is live. But there’s no story yet. I’ll add that Friday morning as usual. But this will allow those of you who have to be out of town, or for whatever reason want to get started early, to link to it so we can all find you more easily.
Hey! I almost forgot to mention our new Facebook page: http://facebook.com/FridayFictioneers – you can also post your link there. We also have a running post on the page where we are listing our author pages, so come add yours to the list. If you haven’t already ‘Liked’ my author’s page, would you ? The button’s over there in my side-bar. Thanks!
Why only 100 Words
100-words isn’t a *rule* and some of us write more than that. My goal is to have The Friday Fictioneers use 100-word stories as an exercise in choosing concise phrases and strong verbs. It’s an excellent way to show your stuff to the world without exposing too much. It’s okay if you use more words, but if it’s much more let us know in the comments so we’ll know how to allocate our time if we’re trying to read all the posts.
Put your best efforts on display for 100 words (more or less) and hop on board Friday with links back to your blog so we can all see what you’ve written. If you don’t have a blog of your own you are welcome to post your 100 words in the (Friday) story page. Go to the side-bar calendar and click on the current week’s Friday date. Then follow the link from there to the story page.
If you accidentally post your link here on this page today, you’ll miss out on a lot of the blog hopping because the action will be stemming from links on the story page.
How to become a Fictioneer
- Write a 100-word story (more or less, and it’s okay if you didn’t use this picture for inspiration)
- Post your story to your blog on Friday (or just link to it tomorrow if you wrote earlier)
- If you’re a WordPress user, include “Friday Fictioneers” as one of your tags so you’ll show up on the tag search.
- Comment on my story Friday and post a link to your story.
- Tweet your link and include the tag #FridayFictioneers if you’re on Twitter.
- Visit and comment on all the other stories that link to my story. If the comment forms allow, leave your link on all your comments, so others can find you and us later on.
- Check back often because participants post throughout the day.
- Get psyched up to do this again next week
You can click the “Flash Fiction” tab at the top to read a little more about Friday Fictioneers.
I hope to see your creativity shining tomorrow!
Oh this looks like fun…
i know all these things are flexible, however, that looks more like the sun to me, or maybe it’s the moon at night with a really open aperature? oh well. flexible.
It’s full moon at apex on a cloudy night…but your comment sure gives me a good idea, lol.
oops. meant that comment to rich. in reply to yours – I’m thinking yes, I have given all the dark minds something to run with.
Well, I’m going to give this a shot on Friday. My first time….we’ll see how it goes over. So, I’m a little confused. Do I post it to my blog and then post the link on the Friday Fictioneers page? Is that right?
Excellent! We’ll be glad to have you. On Friday I’ll make a blog post that includes the link the my story (the same link included under the picture in this post) and that’s where you’ll post the link to your blog (yes, post your story on your blog if you have one and then post the link to that story in the comments of my story).
If you are on FB, you can also post your link on the new Fictioneers page: http://www.facebook.com/FridayFictioneers.
