genrechallenge@gmail.com About
This is a community which challenges any and all comers to write outside their comfort zone by trying their hand at writing within multiple genres. Have you noticed yet that you tend to write almost exclusively Fantasy? Can't get through a story without throwing a whole ton of smut in? Challenge yourself to try!
1. On the first of the month, I'll post that month's Genre of choice
2. You have one month to write a complete story within the Genre (minimum of only 1000 words!)
3. When it's finished, post it to the community for feedback.
Please read the Rules Page! The rules are quite simple but you will be expected to follow them!
