The theme is: Animals Are The Best People. I want stories of amazing animals doing amazing anthropomorphic things. Dogs that can talk. Polar Bears that can fly hot-air balloons. Cats that commit murder (well, I suppose that&#8217;s normal for cats). Whatever your creative writer brains can dream up.<\/p>\n<p>Flash Fiction Contest Rules:<\/p>\n<p>Submissions are now open for September&#8217;s contest. The theme is Animals are the Best People. The rules are simple, but don&#8217;t get cocky. Submitters somehow fail to follow instructions all the time:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>    All stories must somehow engage with the theme of animal anthropomorphism. Be creative.<\/li>\n<li>    The story must be exactly 100 words, not including the title.<\/li>\n<li>Only one submission per person. All entries are due by October 11th.<\/li>\n<li>Regular posts will continue as well, so please send in non-contest-related stories as per usual.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That&#8217;s it. Start writing. I hope I get plenty of stories, so please spread the word.<\/p>\n<p>Also, if you subscribe to my newsletter, I accidentally forgot to update the subject line, so yesterday&#8217;s email came in disguised as a Christmas email. Sorry about that!<\/p>\n<p>Also, also, if you&#8217;d like to subscribe to my newsletter, here&#8217;s the <a href=\"http:\/\/eepurl.com\/gANT09\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">link<\/a>.
