Call For Submissions: Drop the Needle

This round of Drop the Needle is all about over-the-top emotions. Please preface your excerpt with A VERY BRIEF blurb that sets up the scene.

Note: The last time we played Drop the Needle, I had a few blurbs that were LONGER THAN THE EXCERPTS. Dear folks, please don't do that! Set up enough of the scene so we have a feel for it, and say a word or two about the character whose emotions we're going to be studying.

Then send me your best 250-word excerpt that embodies an over-the-top emotional response. (Note: It doesn't have to be your MC! Just let us know which character is primary in the scene when you write your blurb.)

Your submission should follow this format:

SCREEN NAME:
TITLE:
GENRE:

Very Brief Blurb

Excerpt

Just so. Send your submission to me at facelesswords(at)gmail.com. I will accept submissions for the next 24 hours. Each submission will receive a LOTTERY NUMBER. The number you receive WILL NOT BE A POST NUMBER (this is different than usual). Once submissions are closed, I will randomly draw 50 numbers. These 50 entries will be notified and assigned a post number.


There's no need to scramble to get your submission sent in. You all have the full 24-hour window. Each valid entry will receive a lottery number.

One entry per person.

Winning entries will be posted anonymously and open for critique starting on Wednesday.

Please post your questions here!
