Daily Flash Fiction Challenge [13+] Enter your story of 300 words or less. |
Hello Arakun the twisted raccoon ! I'm doing this "Review Your Reviewer" challenge and you have been kind enough to send me some nice reviews throughout my tenure here at Writing.Com, so I thought I'd finally return the favor. I was actually quite surprised that I hadn't reviewed your Daily Flash Fiction Challenge / contest yet. Better now than never though. I hope you enjoy this celebration of your contest here and find the review helpful and uplifting. INITIAL IMPRESSION / OVERVIEW: Your Daily Flash Fiction Challenge is actually one of the two main reasons (the other being the now in hibernation Daily Poem Contest) I joined Writing.Com! I had just started dabbling in flash fiction and loved the idea of a 24-hour contest with new prompts each day. Well done! You keep giving new prompts every day and have been doing so for a very long time. This amazes me. Well done! MORE DETAILED FEEDBACK: Wow! I hadn't ever noticed before, but in October, this Daily Flash Fiction Challenge will have been running for twenty years! That is some serious dedication! Well done! Your entire page is coherent, clear, well designed and easy to follow. Well done! The rules are clear and easy to follow. Well done! I am most amazed and impressed with your ability to judge entries every 24 hours for your Daily Flash Fiction Challenge. I know some days there aren't many entries, but some days there are. And you even review the winner each day. This is a super kind thing to do and a great incentive for people to enter, in my opinion. Well done! I didn't notice any spelling or grammatical mistakes (or mistakes of any kind) in your Daily Flash Fiction Challenge page. Well done! Even after being active here on Writing.com for six years now (a long time to me, but not nearly as long as this challenge has been going), your Daily Flash Fiction Challenge is still interesting to me. Well done! Thank you so much for hosting this wonderful challenge! It is a great asset to the Writing.Com community! IDEAS TO MAKE YOUR PIECE STRONGER: I have just one little suggestion to improve this challenge. It's not about the writing. Your writing is impeccable. It's a fundraising suggestion. I'd recommend adding something more than "donations are accepted and will be used to fund prizes." Actually, having a little section just for donations, including a level at which a merit badge would be offered, would likely increase donations greatly. If you have access to giving an exclusive badge you could offer that for an even higher donation. I know a lot of people here (including myself) are motivated by merit badges so I really think this could help you with fundraising for this wonderful Daily Flash Fiction Challenge. But as with any review, it's just my opinion, feel free to take it or leave it, as serves you best. CONCLUSION: You have a great writing style and dedication to this community. Well done! Thank you for sharing your time, community spirit, and writing with the Writing.Com community! May love, joy and peace be yours in abundance! PWheeler
