15 word story competition
It’s back! Write us a speculative fiction story… in exactly 15 words!
Stories are to be submitted via twitter, using the hashtag #con15words. A shortlist will be published in the con book, and a winner will be announced during the convention.
Stories do not need to fit a theme — the word count is the challenge.
