Most months, the Firthness administrators sponsor a writing challenge at the Firthness Forums, where a theme, elements, and word/rating limit are given. The members of our community have been very generous in their responses! And we thank all of you for your submissions, comments, and votes.

While the challenges are conducted at the forums, we do eventually archive all of the submissions - and you can find those here!

 
 
 

Challenge, n. - 1. a) a summons that is often provocative, stimulating, or inciting; specifically: a summons to a duel to answer an affront b) an invitation to compete in a sport
