Flash Fiction B&W Challenge Spring 2014


Imaginary Letters Challenge

After reading a blog post by Maria Popova about the book Floating Worlds: The Letters of Edward Gorey and Peter F. Neumeyer, I thought it would be fun to create a challenge based on Edward Gorey's beautifully illustrated envelopes.

The challenge was quite simple: participants just had to look at the envelopes and write an imaginary letter, email, or tweet, inspired by what they saw.
A new envelope was published on the first day of every month until the end of 2013.

Why visual prompts?

We are following Storybird's approach of reversing "the process of visual storytelling by starting with the image and 'unlocking' the story inside". Hope you'll enjoy it!
