Thanks everyone, for sharing your writing and see you in the next contest!
Now to this week’s contest
The contest for this week is now open for submissions. To participate, post your fiction writing snippets as links to your restacked notes in the comments.
If you are new here, please read the About page of this publication, especially the “How to post your snippet” and the rules section, before commenting.
Please be civil and follow the rules. I hate to enforce them, but I will if you violate the party principles of the writers’ union!
If you're not a member of the writers' union yet, how were you even allowed to enter this exclusive club? Anyway, if you'd like to participate, I recommend signing up now.
As always, I will inaugurate the comment section with my own writing snippet, hoping to inspire each of you to reach for the highest heights of literary greatness.
Post your own snippet until April 24th here in the comment section.
Let us begin.
"The fact is, the most stubborn thing in the world," Woland continued, "and nothing can destroy it, not even the most unbelievable and most absurd lie. And that is why I have to say that what you are now witnessing, Master, is the most serious thing in the world."

"Sissi was a young princess with lustrous hair, clear soft skin, and command of a third-generation main battle tank. None of the Disney princesses had that, not even warrior chick Mulan. Suck it, Mulan!"
