300 words... any genre... any style... go wild with the whatifs!

What if...

  • the annual battle of the bards is rocked by scandal when one of the competitors uses a glamour spell to influence the judges
  • a cursed manuscript has the power to change the history of the war
  • secret codes are used to fuel a rebellion against an oppressive dictator who has banned poetry
  • an enchanted quill that can be used to change history falls into the wrong hands
  • a small village is hit by a spate of poison pen letters

Any of these or whatever springs to mind... have fun and happy writing.

Deadline: 28th November 2024
