Fiction Contest Guidelines and Terms of Use

Write a love story--whatever you think that means. The rules are: The story must stay under 750 words, a lean fiction format known as flash fiction. It can be set in any time period or location. The main theme must be love (not too erotic) and the story must also concern some aspect of East Indian culture, mythology, or history. You can achieve that by way of character, plot, dialogue or setting.

Entries are free and must be submitted by September 14, 2011. Original fiction received by the contest that meets quality standards and all other judging criteria will be read at Serentripity's upcoming trip, Love's Unfolding Journey and in conjunction with other cultural activities as yet undetermined. Entries the judges love the best qualify for prizes awarded in three age categories.

We are not paying for your submissions, however we may contact you in the future to announce the publication of an anthology of these and other stories. Based on your possible eventual inclusion in the anthology you will receive a copy of the anthology, a discount of 20 percent on additional copies, and a one-time fee to be announced at that time. If you haven't heard from us at that time, your piece may not have been chosen.

By submitting to this contest, you agree to the contest guidelines and terms of use, which are described on this page. By including your email address in the contest submission you will join a mailing list that will remain private and be used only for the purposes of contacting you for announcements pertaining to the contest.
