ZAPFIC returns! More zap and more fic *
*just without the hassle of zappl!
What is #zapfic? Well I was the first to use the hashtag, so I guess I invented it, and I get to decide what it means.
#zapfic is a very short story written in less than 240 characters*.
Use a word/character counter like this free one (https://wordcounter.net/) to check your character count!
*Why 240 characters? Well originally it was posted to the steemit blockchain using the app “zappl”, but that app has been on an extended holiday, and we can't hang around for ever... so now no more hassle with zappl! You can post your #zapfic however you want!
#zapfic Writing Contest Week 30:
Write a story - inspired by the prompt - in 240 characters.
No restrictions on how you post it to steemit. You can post it to steemit using steemit.com, partiko or anything else you want to use!
Try to ensure you tell as complete a story as you can.
This weeks prompt is : kick
You can interpret the prompt as you wish (the story does NOT have to contain the word “kick” in it)
Rules
Post the 240 character (or less) story to steemit (use whatever you want - steemit.com, busy, partiko,etc - the choice is yours!
It must contain the hashtag #zapfic
The story must be less than 240 characters long - use a character counter to check (here is one: https://wordcounter.net/)
The story must be your own work, and previously unpublished
If you post a photo (you don't have to, there are no "points" for photos, it is all about the story) it must be yours (not taken from the net).
Resteem and upvote welcome but it is not essential (I am operating this contest at a “loss” to give something back to the community, so if you can resteem and upvote it will help me help you!)
The steemit (or busy, or whatever) link to your post must be left in the comment section of this post
The deadline for submissions is the payout of this post

Prizes
The price pool 3 SBI (#steembasicincome share), to be distributed as follows

Sometimes I may give away bonus prizes too.

If you found the image on the web, I will be able to reverse image search and find the original too. So use no image or your own! Posted using Partiko AndroidPlease take note of the rule (above) regarding images with your post. If you post a photo, or other image, it MUST be your own. If you found it on the internet you must NOT use it. You do not get bonus points for using an image (this contest is about the images you create with words).
Thank you! and good luck!
I'm back!
