  • Collaborations are allowed.  However you may only submit up to 2 stories.
  • Please, please, please get your story beta'd.  Project Team Beta & The Sparkly Red Pen are great resources.  Please use them.

Twilight Post Secret Challenge


Ever since someone turned me on to the Post Secret website probably eight or nine years ago, I've been fascinated at getting a peek at other people's lives through the deep dark secrets they reveal on those postcards.

I've been wanting to host a contest based around this premise for a long time and finally decided to just do it.

I've provided a bunch of Secrets I've been saving for the last few months and have posted them on the prompts page above.

You MUST use one of these Secrets that I've posted as your inspiration for your one-shot. Not something you've seen on their website recently, but one that has been chosen specifically for the contest. There should be plenty for you to choose from.

This contest is anonymous, so please don't spill the beans about which story is yours.

Check out the page tabs above for all the details on rules and the pic prompts.

Any questions?

or follow me on Twitter -@TwiPSChallenge
