__NOTOC__ | |||
The '''Writing Challenge''' is a bi-monthly competition that asks the membership to write short pieces of fiction in response to a given prompt. The Challenge has existed since 2003, though it entered its current, regular form in 2005. Since then, Challenges have included special events, tie-ins with Writing Improvement Month, prizes, and, most recently, short story collections of all the entries in mobile formats to allow reading on the go. | |||
