Hello fellow strange pilgrims,
It’s that time of the month again when we send out our theme for our free micro writing challenge!
Remember, the rules are simple: the piece must be 300 words or under, it must respond to the month’s theme (however loosely, however strangely), and it must be submitted within the 3-day window1. We’ll reply to everyone within 2-3 weeks (before we announce and publish the winner, of course).
August’s theme: Utopia
We’ll announce each month’s theme when the window opens — or just before — so you’re not planning weeks in advance. We don’t want you to overthink this! Just let the writing flow.
✷ April Winner | Theme: THE FOOL
✷ May Winner | Theme: RABBITS
✷ June Winner | Theme: LOVE & SEX
✷ July Winner | Theme: CULTISH
Yours,

You’ll notice the sub portal says we close on the 4th, this is to allow those in other timezones to get their micros in.
I love this - and just submitted. I also LOVE how you offer great ways to support the initiative and am embarrassed to admit that I didn’t pay anything, it is a credit card issue NOT a being stingy thing
First time submitting! It's a hot mess but hey, I had fun.
