30 Minutes to Write Challenges 37 members · 8 stories

A group for writers daring enough to take on a given topic and use the time frame of 30 minutes to make a story out of it.
Topics for challenges will be updated once every month (as weeks don't provide quite a large time frame for submissions) and will include a different topic for each category. Submissions must be limited to one per person, per category. (In other words, you may only submit one story to comedy, but you can also post a story to romance, but no more than one each.) You have as much time to plan as you need, but only 30 minutes to write your fic; How does anyone know you've abided by the time frame, we don't, so only join if you will honour the rules. Those who believe they absolutely need it, may have 1 minute and 30 seconds of extra time to proofread should they run out of time. I'm going to trust you all to abide by time frames. Submissions will cease at the end of a month and a new topic will be given for each category the next day after the challenges have been closed. At the end of that month in the off time between challenges, the top rated of the submitted fics will be featured on the main forum page of the group. Submitted Stories must only use the category they are being submitted to. A story can have multiple tags as long as it revolves mainly around the section tag it was submitted to. If a story is posted in two sections, the author will be asked to remove the duplicate that doesn't belong, and if nothing is changed within 2 days, both copies will be removed and the author will be notified to resubmit to the correct category. There are no Content restrictions (Clop and Gore is allowed).
All in all, you will be provided with different features such as a location, and main character to focus on, and a villain, but the scenario is up to you (You may use other characters and locations, but your story must contain anything listed in the topics, and focus around them in some way) If you find you have no ideas for one month's challenges, feel free to go back over older ones, but be aware they will not count towards the end of the month roundup, and cannot be featured. Older challenges that do not get chosen, may be reused in future. Featured Fanfics will be shown on both the front page of the group, and in the folder in the forums labelled Main. Don't give yourself too much trouble by thinking of a long and arduous story that cannot possibly be writen in 30 minutes. Just a quick one shot with a maximum around 2500 words if you are a fast writer. Good luck everyone, and best of luck in your writing.

There's no minimum or maximum requirements for the stories, I think that's more to do with FIMfiction... but if it passed the upload approval then you should be able to submit it... either way, link me and I'll set it up for you if you like.

326002 Well if it has to have like over 1'0000 word's or whatever in MY 30 minute challenge's I have like 250 word's in it or something like that so if that is the problem yeah you know.:ajbemused:

That's very strange, I've tried replying to you a couple of times, but apparantly my devices have been incapable of doing that. These stories challenges will be extended for another month, so if you link me to the story in a pm ill add it for you ASAP.

I just made a thirty minute challenge story and tryed to put it into a folder slice of life but it did not let me. I was going to put this on threads!
