Welcome to Lesley's Nifty Nib-Nibbling Nonsensical Narrative Challenge. It's fun. It's simple. Anyone can submit. All entries are published. Discover how delightful writing nonsense can be.

Rules and How To Submit

This is a flash fiction writing challenge, inviting you to pen a nonsense engorged tale, filled with absurdity, yet making sense.

The rules are simple:

• 200 words max
• please include a title for your story (not included in word count)
• be silly but make sense
• entry is everyone's favourite fee - FREE
• anyone can submit
• 1 entry per person
• no profanity please
• your nib-nibbling nonsense tales will be published on this page
• every time we receive 100 stories, we'll publish all of them in a book
• any money made through anthology sales will be donated to charity
• submit your story by filling in the comments form below

So far, we've received 31 entries. We need 69 more to publish the anthology.

About the Nonsense Writing Challenge

Many new writers fail to understand the importance of a complete story arc, leaving a reader satisfied at the conclusion of a story. This challenge highlights the importance of a coherent plot and strong characters that allow the reader to suspend their disbelief and become absorbed in a well-told tale.
We want submitted stories to be silly and nonsensical, but not pure gobbledegook.  So please aim for strong plot, exciting characters and a satisfying ending.
If you need inspiration, below are a few links to websites which generates nonsense:

• Måns Olson's Nonsense Generator
• Stupid Stuff's Utter Nonsense Generator
• Soybomb's Nonsense Word Generator
• or use Messrs Google, purveyors of finest interweb search functionality, to hunt nonsensical wonderment
• or you can just read the submitted stories below to get a flavour of what we're after

WARNING: if you click on the links above, you're likely to spend an inordinate amount of time faffing about with the nonsense generators and giggling. I lost an entire day.
The first anthology – Nonsensically Challenged Volume 1 – will be released once 100 stories have been received, so probably sometime in 2017.
Lesley and I would like to thank everyone who has submitted stories for their support – it is very much appreciated :-)


About the Charity the Nonsense Challenge Supports
Proceeds generated by anthology sales will be donated to The Daisy Garland.

Set up in 2014 by Sara and David Garland after the tragic death of their 6 year old daughter Daisy from SUDEP (sudden death in epilepsy patients), The Daisy Garland works exclusively for children with drug-resistant epilepsy. The charity funds specialist dietitians who work within national health hospitals countrywide treating some of the 18,000 sufferers in the UK.

You can find The Daisy Garland on Facebook and Twitter.

Some words from Lesley about why she chose to support this charity:

Daisy Garland died at the age of 6 due to severe epilepsy. I am a friend of Daisy's aunt. I chose to support The Daisy Garland charity because I know that my friend and her sister (Daisy's mother) and other members of Daisy's family are fully committed to managing the charity. They all work extremely hard to give support and advice, to the extent of significantly improving and prolonging the lives of children suffering with epilepsy.

How The Nonsense Writing Challenge Came To Be
I know it's hard to believe having looked at the photo at the top of the page, but Lesley and I haven't met. Yet.

However, we have liaised a lot via email. And Lesley has been highly supportive of me and my website. She's entered the To Hull & Back short story competition (and been longlisted). She's submitted to the adverb writing challenge (and been published). She's commented on and shared my posts regularly. She's a LEGEND.

Lesley and Chris being all Carry On Camping, oo er missus, fnar fnar, how rude matron

Again, Photoshop definitely has NOT been anywhere near this photo 

When Lesley contacted me about starting a nonsense writing challenge, I thought it was a fabulous idea. So, after a bit of discussion, and way too much time spent faffing about with nonsense generators, it was born.

Each time a story is received, it will be published on this page. When we receive 100 stories, they will be removed from the website and published in an anthology. The book will be made available in print, Kindle eBook and PDF formats.

All the proceeds will go to charity.

If we don't receive 100 entries, it's a bit of fun, you can read all the stories here on the site and you now know about The Daisy Garland charity.

Everyone's a winner.

10 misstag författare gör Boken finns som e-bok och som vanlig bok. Medförfattare Kristina Svensson och Lennart Guldbrandsson

"Hej, Tre hattar. Det var ett nöje att få läsa er generösa bok. Jag lärde mig mycket nytt (om bokmässan, egenutgivning, förlagsbranschen etc) och det var spännande och underhållande att få följa era personliga vinklar. Lättläst, informativ, rolig och varierande. Tack!" Med vänlig hälsning Matilda Brasch, svensklärare och hobbyskrivare


 
Att hitta glädje i skrivandet  Fråga efter den hos din bokhandlare, eller beställ den på nätet.

"Kimselius delar frikostigt, handfast och inspirerande med sig av sina erfarenheter, kunskaper och upplevelser av att skriva berättelser och att vara författare. Att hitta glädje i skrivandet är en bok som fungerar som både sporre och handbok och passar för såväl deltagare på skrivarkurser
som aspirerande författare i blandade åldrar eller allmänt intresserade." BTJ-häftet nr 20, 2015. Lektör Henric Ahlgren

Att skriva med glädje, finns att låna på biblioteket, både som vanlig bok och e-bok.

"Det är en ovanligt inspirerande bok. Så fort du släpper den går du direkt till datorn och börjar skriva själv. Därför att lusten blir SÅ stor efter att ha läst i denna bok att du helt enkelt inte vill göra något annat än att skriva!" Helena Milton
