Submit to the Fatal Flaw Flash Fiction Contest!
Cheryl Pappas
I am so happy to serve as judge for Fatal Flaw Literary Magazine’s first annual flash fiction contest! Subs open on January 6 and close February 6. Here is what we’re looking for:
The fatal flaw is a concept that pervades storytelling, literary criticism, and popular culture – from Greek tragedies to the television series we binge. Whether art imitates life or vice versa, the notion of a fatal flaw creeps into our lives and the societies we live in, too. Will my everyday vices bring about my ruin? Do I lose because I’m too nice? Will humans kick fossil fuels and dismantle systems of oppression before the planet burns?
The inaugural Fatal Flaw Flash Fiction Contest (say that five times fast; god, we love alliteration) invites entries of 1,000 words or fewer on the theme that inspired our very creation. Like all literary conventions, the fatal flaw begs to be toyed with, subverted, and reimagined. So send us your interpretations, your experimentations. We can't wait to experience your fatally flawless flash.
All essentail details can be found on the contest page! Please submit your fantastic flash!
