Weekly Writing Challenges: Microprose Archive

Welcome to YeahWrite’s microprose challenge archives, a collection of microfiction prompts, responses, and competitions. For 500 weeks YeahWrite hosted “weekly grids” which enabled writers to link their self-hosted responses, and to read and vote on each others’ work, as well as commenting. From 2014-2016 this challenge ran as a weekly prompted 42-word story and poetry challenge. From 2017-2020, the challenge featured prose only with unique prompts and word counts and ran once per month. While we no longer host competition grids, we’re still delivering the prompts you love as well as our Super Challenge and classes. Stop by our latest posts to see this week’s prompt, live every Friday at noon US Eastern Time.
