Special Christmas Flash Fiction Competition from Dark Chapter Press


Welcome to the Special Christmas Flash Fiction Competition. It's really simple, pick one of the available images below - only one entry per image, so make sure you note down a 2nd or 3rd choice. Email your choice through to darkchapterpress@gmail.com - within 24 hrs you will get a confirmation email back, or a list of available slots if your first choice is taken.

Once assigned, write a piece of flash fiction up to 1,000 words in length and email it to that same address above with: DreAdvent_"Title"_"Your Name" in the subject line. After a quick edit and format session, your story will go live as soon as possible in December, and where possible, we will post the stories on seperate days. Cut off for the receipt of entries is 14th December 2014 at 23:59 GMT, so you have to get in there fast.

A winner will be selected from all entries received by the cut off date - the winner gets a £10 Amazon e-voucher.

How to enter: submit your story and a short biography (including links to your website, Facebook page, Twitter account and blog etc - whatever you want readers to follow to find out more about you), as a Word Doc, to the following email address:


The subject line should read: Nov Flash_(your story title)_(Your name)

Also be certain to make it clear if you want the story to be featured with a pen name in place.

There are a few rules to stick to:
1.Only one entry per person.
2.The story must not be longer than 1000 words.
3.Submissions must be received by 23:59 London time, 14th December 2014.
4.By submitting the story you grant Dark Chapter Press a non-exclusive license to post the story on this site/blog and the Dark Chapter Newsletter Dark Deeds.
5.The story must be your own work, not previously published and you are liable for any copyright infringement/trademark violation/plagiarism action should you fail to meet this requirement.
6. Upon submission you also grant Dark Chapter Press a one time non-exclusive license to include the story in an e-book release.
7. The judge/panel’s decision is final.
8. Runners-up may be featured on this site, the blog, the newsletter or within one of the e-books (as per point 4 above and the additional info below) later at Dark Chapter Press’s discretion (so even if you don’t win or get placed as a notable entry, we may feature your story later if we really like it).
