Achat 55 Word Writing Contest
(https://i.imgur.com/dc7LLdF.jpg)
THEME PROMPT: Halloween.
This is a new contest and is a work in progress.
Any questions, please direct to Vaughan – Director- or JessiCapri – Co Director of competition.
This is a writing contest with a difference.
You can write a short story or poem on the theme of the prompt. This one is Halloween.
1. It will be self financing. Gift 55Achat Dollars to take part but is none profit making. All this will be used to award a prize to the winner. Initially first place will be the only prize awarded but if the contest proves popular, consideration will be given to second and third prize places.
2. Please "Friend" Saga55 in the game to find her easy and gift Saga55 the entry sponsorship. Achat has been asked to sponsor the event but as of today’s date, there has been no response. We will keep you updated and probably extend the prizes to 1, 2 & 3rd places.
3. Your story or poem must be 55 words—no more, no less—titles are not included in the word count. Stories not meeting this rule will be disqualified. Send only stories or poems. Poetry with line breaks / spaces will not be considered. Hyphenated words count as one word.
4. Stories and or poems must be the author’s own work and must not be published elsewhere while this contest is running
5. Up to 3 submissions per person. Each will be considered a separate entry and will attract the entry sponsorship of 55 Achat Dollars each. Each writer can, however, only win one prize which will be the highest ranking story.
Any of their other stories that make the top 3 will not be counted and the next highest ranking story by a different author or poet will take up the position.
In other words, there will be 3 different writers that will receive a prize.
The winning stories will though, still be shown in the correct rankings and will include all stories that are awarded a prize.
6. You must be a member of Achat's forum to enter. Registration is free. PM your entry to Saga55 directly in Forum by midnight Eastern Standard Time the 30th October 2020. (5am GMT 31st Oct 20) This is the only way to enter. No entries will be accepted on behalf of others.
7. The Stories will then be published anonymously by Saga55 in its own topic for voting and judging on 31 October 2020 – Halloween.
8. Contestants should not campaign for votes; spam; advertise or disclose to others their entry to the competition with a view to gain votes, nor should they attempt to bribe or curry favour with any judges. Any one found do be doing so will be disqualified from the competition. The competition is a writing contest not a popularity contest. It is a fair contest.
9. Judges should not advertise they are a judge in this contest nor use their position to gain any kind of advantage over contestants they may know or suspect, ie - no sexual favours, Achat dollars etc... The judges should be fair, unbiased and judge on the writing not who writes the entry. It is a fair contest.
10. The voting will act as “The public Judge/Vote” and points awarded when voting closes.
11. Each contestant will be a judge and will be expected to put their story/poem preferences in a list. First will be the story or poem that is liked best then, in descending order to their least favourite. They cannot place their own entry but this will be awarded 40 points on receipt of their Judging List. Their list should be sent to Saga55, Vaughan and JessiCapri in PM.
If writers do not fulfil their obligation to provide a Judging list, their own story or stories will not receive their 40 points and will be disqualified from receiving a prize should they place in top 3. It would not be fair for their peers to award their story points, yet that same writer has not reciprocated.
The next highest ranking story will receive the prize instead.
12. There will also be secret Judges. If you are interested in becoming a Secret Judge in the 55 Contest, please PM Saga55, Vaughan or jessiCapri to show interest and instructions will be sent to you explaining what is expected and how to take part in judging the contest.
13. The winning story will be announced the first day of the following month along with a new prompt for the next contest. (This is dependent on interest) Saga55 will gift the winner(s) of the contest.
14. Titles are not included in the word count. Please title your short story or poem for publication.
15. By entering this contest the author agrees to abide by the competition rules and also the Terms of use for Achat’s Forum and the game. All rights revert to the author upon publication.
– Note: Be careful of word count. Hyphenated words count as one word.
– Suggestion: Think of the prompt metaphorically, rather than literally. Be original. Surprise us! Oh, and have fun!
- Depending on interest, this may be a one off contest, an occasional contest or a regular contest. It is very dependent on the response by the Achat community.
Tell your friends and we look forward to receiving, publishing and reading your stories and poems.
Vaughan & JessiCapri

Here's a cool example.
55 words - Not including The Title.
Song of the Witches by William Shakespeare
Double, Double, toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the cauldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg and owlet's wing,
A charm of powerful trouble,
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble
-
Another cool example. 55 words not including the title.
The Family Farm by By Doug Long.
Five generations of Burkhardts lived and died here. Their tombstones overlook the pond.
Mary and I (the new owners) are renovating the kitchen when three translucent figures appear.
"Welcome and keep up the good work," they chorus, before floating through the solid, stone wall.
Startled, Mary grips my arm. "And if we don’t?" she gasps.
-
Oo, Oo Oo, I have an example. This morning I discovered "Bellamione" ; the "Shipping" Of Bellatrix Lestrange and Hermione Granger from Harry Potter.
Age difference Lesbians, My favorite right? They have fanfic! Anyway. Here it is. (with GIF to provide mood) ;D
Yes, I wrote it.

She is sweet and young, ready to be defiled
A virgin sacrifice if there ever was one for the Dark Lord.
Never known a man, and by my troth she never would
I have killed him and taken the Dark Throne.
I only now need take her heart.
“Are you OK, Bella?”
“Just thinking, Love”

Some Judges have asked for the format in preparing and sending their Judging Lists.
This is probably the easiest way to do it.
Make a list starting at 1 in descending order to the last number of the stories, in this case 1 down to 23. Your Favourite should be placed at 1 and then down to your least favourite being placed in the last position.
1
2
3 … etc
Then using the below list, copy (ctrl+c) and paste (ctrl+v) the relevant story into the position you wish. Please include the number, as well as the title. This is so we can keep the scoring easier.
1. Trolling for Treats ~ a Halloween Haiku
2. The Creaky floor
3. Asmodus’s Birth
4. Perspective
5. Her Monster
6. Cold Justice
7. Horny Li'l Devil
8. Taken
9. The Long Halloween
10. Revenge
11. ALL HALLOW'S
12. Nevermore
13. Moonlight Magic
14. Witches Corner
15. The Cast Iron Gate
16. It
17. Love Haunts
18. Halloween Love
19. Into the Abyss
20. 'A' Trick and Treat
21. The Unheeded Warning
22. Our Girls
23. Halloween Origins
Like so: Example only.
1 20. 'A' Trick and Treat
2 4. Perspective
3 1. Trolling for Treats ~ a Halloween Haiku etc…
Once you have completed and are happy with your Judging List, please PM your list to Saga55, JessiCapri & Vaughan in Forum.
Thank You.
I hope this answers any queries.
