Hello everyone. @ejemai here for STACH with the announcement for the First STACH Short Story Contest.
This is going to be a weekly contest that will be increased in Prize and winners as we proceed.
What is a short story?
According to Wikipedia
A short story is a piece of prose fiction that can be read in one sitting. Emerging from earlier oral storytelling traditions in the 17th century, the short story has grown to encompass a body of work so diverse as to defy easy characterization. At its most prototypical the short story features a small cast of named characters, and focuses on a self-contained incident with the intent of evoking a "single effect" or mood.
Short stories make use of plot, resonance, and other dynamic components to a far greater degree than is typical of an anecdote, yet to a far lesser degree than a novel. While the short story is largely distinct from the novel, authors of both generally draw from a common pool of literary techniques.
In other word, it is a story with a fully developed theme but significantly shorter and less elaborate than a novel. Source
