Six Word Story Contest!

A type of Flash Fiction, six word stories are (very) short stories with an exact word count: six words. SixWordStories is the place where, alongside quality, quantity really does matter. Though these stories are so brief in length, they can be as profound, if not more, than the prose and poetry you see and read every day, partly because six word stories can tell us so much and yet contain so little.

As a Group, we encourage writers to explore their boundaries with prompts, collaborations and more, but we accept anyone and everyone too! Whether you are a digital artist, photographer, or something else entirely, if you can string six words together into a story, this is the place to be!

So getting to the point of this article, we are kickstarting this party Group with a six word story contest! We have some awesome prizes and hopefully enough freedom for you to enjoy yourselves too!

Please support the contest and the article so that more can join in on the fun!
