Fictra is launching its first-ever short story competition.
We’re looking for the most compelling, mind-bending, and creative takes on the theme: ‘Glitch’.
Don't be afraid to mix things up—throw together random ideas, embrace the weird, and go with whatever feels unexpected. That's where the cool stuff happens.
Just please, stay away from AI. We endorse creativity by real people, not computers.
How
It Works
Authors submit their stories
Everyone is free to enter the first round of the competition.
Platform review
Stories are reviewed by the Fictra platform according to certain criteria, and those that pass the review will advance.
Voting begins
Approved stories are opened for public voting.
Top 100 selection
The 100 stories with the most votes will advance to the second round and be rewarded accordingly.
The winners
Additional prizes will be awarded to the top-ranked stories, such as special features, extra rewards, and more!
What’s in it for you?
If your story is among the top 100, we will get your story turned into a beautiful, human-narrated audio story completely free!
We will then feature your story on our homepage, giving it the spotlight it deserves!
But that's just the beginning.
Everyone in the second round will also have the exclusive opportunity to create a monetizable writer profile on Fictra, where they can earn through sponsorships, donations, premium content, ad partners, and other revenue streams that we'rebuilding into the platform.
