One of PlotStorming's main goals is to encourage writers to push their boundaries and gain experience. Past contests have involved vague morality, news stories, "show don't tell," and unusual points-of-view, just to name a few. This month we'd like you to try your hand at humor.
"It's just, you know. You're just funny, it's... funny, the way you tell the story and everything."
- Henry Hill, Goodfellas
It's time to get light hearted. Bring us your puns, anecdotes, slapstick, and humorous situations - the goal of this month's contest is to write a short story that makes the reader laugh or groan. Yes, I want you to amuse us. The whole story doesn't have to be a comedy, it could be moments and dialogue that make the piece humorous. It is your madness and method, but the goal is to write the funniest story you can.
Oh, and due to our diverse audience, please avoid stories that focuses upon toilet humor.
