Challenge Issued: Transparent Tapestries (A Reminder)
Tuesday’s Triptych Tapestry:
For all you Flash Fiction enthusiasts, here’s a challenge for you to sink your teeth into. Two weeks has passed since I issued this challenge, you have another two weeks to think of a delightful tale to share with us, we look forward to your entry. Please see below for further details.
(As always, there is a pdf document at the bottom of the post for those who may find this a difficult read.)
The rules are quite simply this:
“Being an artist at heart, I have decided my triptych prompts will be based with an art theme running through it. The prompts will have three parts to it:
- Painting/Photography by an Artist
- Random lines of Poetry by Poets
- An Art Movement/Writing Genre
I will endeavour to select the above through the methods used by surrealist automatism (this will involve selecting imagery by opening books/webpage’s in a random manner). You can choose any of the given prompts -or if you are brave and up to a challenge then use all three prompts! The choice is yours. Word count will be limited to 500-1000 (if it is slightly less or more I will not quibble).
If there are artists who feel inspired to take part with imagery or any poets who want to enter with poems -you too can join in -hey why not make it a mixed media piece!
Please ensure you provide the link to your entry in the comments of the appropriate post or allow for a pingback so we can track your entry for reading as well as for collating in the next Flash Fiction Challenge.”
In honour of our busy schedules, I will keep the challenge open for a month. I hope this gives you enough time to ponder on possible creative works. May your muse inspire you always…
Your three prompts for the next four weeks are as follows:
Image sourced from: http://fineartamerica.com/- Three lines of poetry:
Roof turned transparent
And prismatic, focusing
That warm, floating lantern’s glow
-Lighthouse by Gerard Woodward
- Art Movement: Purism and here is another explanation of Purism / as for the Writing Genre; I have decided to give you the artistic reign again (so ultimately it’s your choice).
*If you are looking to enter with a Poem or a Visual Image then the word count is not applicable (having said that; fellow Poets, if you are generous with your words then maybe keep in mind to not over-exceed the maximum word allowance).
Well that’s the rules, the deadline is at midnight GMT on 29th August 2011 (I will be collating all entries in the next Triptych Tapestry which is scheduled to be posted 30th August 2011).
Enjoy and above all have fun!

Tuesday’s Triptych Tapestry:
One month has passed by since I issued my second Flash Fiction Challenge Triptych Trials; it was fab to see and read all the entries (you guys have done swell with the prompts given *cheers*). Those of you who have not managed to catch up with these delightful stories then please take a break and head on over to have a read. These brave soul(s) rose to the challenge:
- Billie Jo Woods’ entry Defying Gravity swept me off my feet -no really!
- Sonia G. Medeiros had me on the edge of my seat as I read Paper Aeroplanes -gripping to say the least.
- Me, Myself & I -I’ll let you decide what you think of my entry St Pauls at High Tide -it was a joy to write.
Thank you both for taking part -I hope you enjoyed the creative journey.

Challenge Issued: Triptych Trials – Reminder
Tuesday’s Triptych Tapestry:
Heya, due to my ROW80 goals and also a busy couple of days I have not been able to put together any flash fictions (or story follow-ups for DiRosaYikici) therefore; I have decided a recap was in order… Sooooo here goes: Two weeks into the challenge set by moi, I thought I’d give you all a gentle reminder (just in case you have forgotten); you have until midnight (GMT) 1st August 2011. See the details below:
(As always there is a pdf document at the bottom of the post for those who may find this a difficult read.)
The rules are quite simply this:
“Being an artist at heart, I have decided my triptych prompts will be based with an art theme running through it. The prompts will have three parts to it:

- An Art Movement/Writing Genre

Please ensure you provide the link to your entry in the comments of the appropriate post or allow for a pingback so we can track your entry for reading as well as for collating in the next Flash Fiction Challenge.”
This week I am extending the period to one month. The holiday season is upon us; most of my writer friends are working on their work/manuscript in progress (AKA: WIP/MIP) and I will be too as I have left it on the sidelines for a while, therefore I need to get back to it. I hope this longer period will also give you enough time to prepare and come up with something amazing! May your muse inspire you always.
Your three prompts for the next four weeks are as follows:
Image sourced from: http://farm5.static.flickr.com- Four lines of poetry:
Tear out a page of the book and make an aeroplane.
Launch it. For an instant it seems that you have fashioned
A shape that can outwit air, that has slipped the knot.
But no. The earth turns, the winch tightens, it is wound in.-Defying Gravity by Roger McGough
- Art Movement: Mannerism and here is another explanation of Mannerism / as for the Writing Genre; I have decided to give you the artistic reign again (so ultimately it’s your choice).
*If you are looking to enter with a Poem or a Visual Image then the word count is not applicable (having said that; fellow Poets, if you are generous with your words then maybe keep in mind to not over-exceed the maximum word allowance).
Well that’s the rules, the deadline is at midnight GMT on 1st August 2011 (I will be collating all entries in the next Triptych Tapestry which is scheduled to be posted 2nd August 2011).

Challenge Issued: Triptych Trials
Tuesday’s Triptych Tapestry: I issued my first Flash Fiction Challenge Triptych Blues two weeks ago and here are the brave soul(s) who rose to the challenge:
Just little old me! (Well, I issued it; so I had to take part!) – Here is my entry: Moon of Change: The Prologue & The Epilogue -I hope you enjoy the read.
I have to mention that Sonia G. Medeiros did her best to take part; for that, I want to say ‘thank you for the attempt -hopefully next time you will feel more inspired (or rather feel it works better for you)‘.
(As always there is a pdf document at the bottom of the post for those who may find this a difficult read.)

Challenge Taken: Moon of Change – The Prologue & Epilogue
Whimsical Wednesday Writings: A challenge is a challenge, so I thought; since I love tormenting myself -why not do it in style! What you delve into now will be a little fun, experimental piece I decided to embark on. I also concluded it would be fab to combine four/five challenges (five; purely for the fact that, I have continued with the idea from the last flash fiction challenge I took on by Ken Broad; see: Moon of Change); yep I do have my moments of insanity! Let’s see if you love or hate what you are about to read.
Before we get going, I want to have a quiet word with the challengers: Billie Jo, I really struggled with the Summer Solstice theme 
-I think I need to research into it some more -thanks for brain hurting exercise! . Sonia, ermmm… I worry if I have fallen under the cliché radar… *looks up to the sky* -well, I guess the style is not a typical cliché, is it? Haley, I am secretly hoping I am safe with your challenge this month -I think I got it all; unless my clear beginning, middle and end is dubious. Ken, I know I did well last time round 
So I wonder what you make of the additions to the story. As for me; I think I managed ok with the task; now it is all over to you lovely readers, it’s time to cast your vote.
