Sarah Zettel writes that Book View Cafe, “an ongoing online experiment in fiction publishing and distribution created by a group of genre authors”, is hosting its first-ever Twitter Fiction contest.
The task is to write a complete story incorporating the contest theme of “elf meets vampire” in one tweet (126 characters or fewer). “It’s a great way to involve our readers in the creative process,” writes Zettel. “I’m really looking forward to seeing what they come up with.”
Stories will be judged on creative use of the theme and the medium. The contest is open from 9AM EDT 10 April (Friday) until 9PM EDT 12 April (Sunday). Judges Pati Nagle, Jennifer Stevens, and Sarah Zettel will then chose the winner, who will received an autographed copy of Pati Nagle’s brand new release, The Betrayal.
