Fiction 500 is an on-going short fiction project, created in 2008.
The project is based upon a simple idea: write a fictional story using no more 500 words. These stories could be part of a series, connected through characters or events, or each story could function as it's own entity. Either way, the goal is to be as concise as possible, creating a complete, stand-alone work. Telling a story in just 500 words forces the writer to get to the point and decide what the most important things to say are, and what parts of the story can be left up to the reader to come up with on their own.
There is no doubt about it: writing a complete story in only 500 words is difficult. Are you up to the challenge?
Say what you've got to say. Just keep it short.
