Welcome, everyone, to the first ever Monthly Challenge
at the Moving Quill :
‘FROM 15 TO 50’
WHAT IT’S ABOUT:
Each month, I will put up a prompt: a word/ a phrase/ a photograph. You can choose to use any/all of the prompts in your post or just use them for reference. Scroll down for the Prompt/s.
WHAT CAN YOU DO?
- Write a flash fiction piece on the prompt/s on your own blog.
- Upload the post to the linky given on the page here.
- At the end of the week, the linky will close. The linky will close manually if it hits 50 entries before that.
- I will then pick the top 5 posts and feature them in a post here on the blog, with a link back to your blog.
*If you don’t have a blog/ if the linky closes, feel free to add your response to the prompt in the comments section here. Be sure to leave a link where I can reach you: Twitter handle/ FB page/ Google Plus page/ E-mail. I will make sure I pick a ‘Special Mention’ Post from the Comments 🙂
WHAT DO YOU GET?
If your post is picked , you get:
A Winner’s Image to display on the blog (For the Best Post)
A TOP 5 Image to display on the blog (For the Top 5 posts)
ARE THERE ANY RULES?
Well, we have some, yes 🙂
1. Your post should be a minimum of 15 words and a maximum of 50 words (not including the title). No leeway allowed on this 😉
2. The post should be a new one, written for the ‘From 15 to 50‘ challenge.
3. The post should be your original piece of fiction/ poetry.
4. No erotic/ pornographic material will be permitted. Such links will be deleted.
5. The post should be grammatically correct and free of spelling/ syntax errors.
6. Include this line in your post: Linking this to the Fiction Challenge ‘From 15 to 50’
7. A backlink to this blog for the challenge, though not mandatory, will be appreciated 🙂
8. Please add only ONE LINK per Blog. 🙂
9. The linky will open tonight at 12:00 A.M. (IST) and close one week later or when the linky hits 50 entries, whichever comes first.
10. When sharing your posts or others’ posts on the Linky, make sure you use the hashtag #15to50 on Twitter/Pinterest/ Facebook/ Google Plus 🙂 Share the love!

Love the prompts but fiction is not one of my strengths. If some inspiration comes through will join up. Thanks for hosting.
Monthly, Kathy. I doubt I’ll have the time to do justice to a weekly challenge, since I plan to visit, comment, share all the entries 🙂
Looks like fun! Is this going to be a weekly event?
Now, there! I am in too 🙂
Ha ha ha. You are too sweet! Thanks for that vote of confidence! Let’s see. If the response is good, I may add the next prompt earlier than expected 🙂
This is a fun and challenging link up Shailaja! So glad to have participated! Already waiting for next prompt…(Oh it’s a month away 🙁 such a long wait)
Would love it if you did <3
Very happy to see that you linked up <3
You are too adorable <3 And where is the 'challenge' part if I allow you more words, eh? 😉
Yay! Yes, I hope so too. I am especially eager to read your post 🙂
Wow I will write on this tomorrow…I hope it doesn’t reach 50 entries before I post !
I was soooo excited I ran off to do the post and forgot to leave a comment. This is super. Only wish there were more words. 50 is just too little and 15.. Well never mind!!! Oh and I’ve linked up already.
Very interesting idea…am glad to be a part of it! 🙂
Great initiative Shailaja! Will definitely try my best to enter this week… 🙂
Very bad in writing short fiction! Never attempted before too. But I couldn’t let this go 🙂 I’ve linked my post 😛
May the Gods of Blog-dom be listening to you 😀 Thanks Inderpreet! Waiting !
This is a super prompt and of course I am in. Love the idea..15 to 50.
All the best. May the linky burst at the seams.?
Yay! Waiting to see the outcome 😀
Putting on my thinking cap
Hope so!! *fingers crossed*
Ah, but those should be the BEST 15 words you can squeeze out 😉 Good luck, Nibha! <3
wow! I’m in! I think i can squeeze out 15 words atleast 😛
Glad you think so, Uma 🙂
WoW..this is great! 🙂
I disagree that you are fiction-challenged 🙂 I still recall the beautiful 100-word post you wrote for one of the WT Prompts. Go on, you may surprise yourself 🙂
Sounds cool! But you know how fiction-challenged I am 🙂 Will let the prompt(s) do their work in my head, however, and hopefully something might come up. Who knows? 🙂
Great! Look forward to the post <3
Awesome!!!! I am in 🙂
Thanks Vinodini! Hoping to see your post 😀
Way to go Shailaja!
Waiting to read your post, Shalini 🙂 Good luck!
Fab contest! Loved it, Shailaja! I’m game!! 🙂
