5 glittering fragments lay on the ground, yet no one ventured to get close. To one side, some local kids stood talking.

A-san: “Nah, I don’t feel like it.”
B-san: “Chicken”
A: “Okay, see.” Walked over to them and bent down. Then walked back.
A: “See nothing to it.”

4 glittering fragments lay on the ground.

For , here's some snack-sized about a power-hungry madman who gains control of a platform and starts erasing people. I thought it might be relevant. 😁

Worldbuilding thoughts: a planet in perpetual twilight where 70% of the surface is covered in fine grey dust or water filled with unidentified chemicals that kill plants.

The only features are occasional, huge, impossible, beautiful art deco structures in white and gold: towers that defy physics, bridges that span oceans.

They're maintained by aggressive star shaped robots that raid ships and sellers for materials, but show no sign of sentience.

Welcome to a fiction hashtag (short for or ) where you can post original fiction of any genre.

There are no prompts, no limitations, no deadlines, no rules (except the two below).

Rules:

1) Keep chat/questions about to .
2) Be sure to use the hashtag in your fiction post, or it won't be seen by others using it.

Happy writing.

@chainlinkspiral @derwinmcgeary @stardust Note, I've been purposely separating the # and mfic to keep it as clean as possible. Maybe we can ask that chat/questions ABOUT mfic should be taken to or ? Or is that too much to ask people?

@stardust @derwinmcgeary @chainlinkspiral What do you say we just announce the hashtag "# mfic" say it's open genre, but posts are welcome every Friday, kinda like on Twitter? Something like:

"Welcome to # mfic a hashtag where you can post original fiction of any genre every Friday (your local time).

While there is no specific weekly prompt, suggestions by folks are welcome."

Thots?

The Challenge. (Probably want to go with just one of those tags so we don't lose character count. Or maybe #≤500? or )

Any genre story within 500 characters. Must include hashtag.

Maybe the is best so as to keep the tag special and clear of Toots we've just written.
