The First Writing Prompt for Sci-Fi Shorts!
Thank you for following Sci-Fi Shorts on Medium. We’re going to try something new and see how it goes. Introducing: Writing prompts! This month’s prompt will be to write a flash fiction story (in under 500 words, of course) that relates to a specific picture. Here’s what you need to know:
- All stories must follow the submission guidelines.
- Make it clear which picture your story relates to by using the subtitle area. For example: June prompt — picture #2 —Aliens. If your story is chosen as a winner, an appropriate subtitle will be given prior to publication.
- Your story must be submitted by the end of day (EDT) Saturday, June 27th. The winners will be selected by Sunday, June 28th and published on Wednesday, July 1st. Only the winners will be notified.
There will be 3 winners (one for each photo). You can write one story for each photo if you wish, but only one of your stories may win. The winning stories will be featured on the Sci-Fi Shorts homepage for the month of July.
Well, what are you waiting for? Pick a pic and start your story!
Picture #1 — Space

Picture #2 — Aliens

Picture #3 — Relationships

We are getting some great submissions. In case you missed any, be sure to catch up on some of our popular stories this month.
