Welcome to Flying Fiction, ‘writing fiction on the fly’. This website is designed for writers out there looking to improve their narrative skills. We start by listing a topic. We then allow the writer to come up with any story in any genre, as long as the topic is used in the story in some way. The best three stories submitted for each topic are then voted on by vistors to the website. The best story is then listed on the home page for a month and gets a permanent spot in the Flying Fiction Hall of Fame. This allows the winner to get some exposure. The topic changes every two weeks. The stories have a minimum word limit of 250 words and a maximum word limit of 1200 words. This allows even the busiest of people to quickly write a story, hence the name Flying Fiction. Have fun and good luck!
