NB: You do not need to pm me for special considerations...Just write an amazing piece. I am a fair person, as are my judges; listing your age, tribe or political inclinations/affiliations will not get you extra points, people. Let your pens, or in this case, keypad speak for you.
Thank you.

Madam whitemosquito, the instructions states that it should be written in English or pidgin, I want to know if it's okay to make use of some vernacular for more authenticity
Si. Make sure you get the vernacular right though. For instance, don't spell 'dey' as 'they'....

Thank you.

@theorbiters, I'm sorry you cannot retract your first submission, if you had submitted on nl, you would have the option of editing your post. Since you submitted through the mail, that is not possible. Only one entry per participant.
Literature / Re: About Whitey's Flash Fiction Challenge *comment Thread* by whitemosquito(f): 7:18am On Dec 30, 2014
Hmmm.

For all contestants, here's another freebie..

Google up what "culture" means, you'll discover that it has to do with a lot more than festivals, ceremonies, beliefs, language etc...Someone is yet to wow me..

Happy writing!

To ask for clarification over something you read and did not understand is DIFFERENT from asking what a thread is all about.. Shebi you asked permission to publicise the thread? Does it mean that you didnt read what you publicised? That means you prolly posted misinformation on your blog!
Oya, pele, ma binu simi; please read the instructions then come back let's talk about the parts you don't understand.. Will that do??

For those of us still struggling with the word count, and understanding what flash fiction is, this should make an interesting read- anniemcmahon.hubpages.com/hub/flashfictionforeveryone

@anakadrian, Lol. It takes a lot more to ruffle anything of mine..And I dont have feathers, you do. Thats why you were quacking about your work being stolen. Lol.

@swifayo, I appreciate your boldness by being the first to submit, your story has the hallmarks of an epic script but unfortunately, it doesn't meet the guidelines.
There is a theme for this Challenge. Please read the detailed instructions in the Challenge thread.
You have the option of retracting your submission and rewriting it to fit the guidelines. If you choose to leave it like this, then Ill have no choice than to disqualify you because you haven't met the rules of the Challenge.
Please rewrite.
Thank you.

This story is dedicated to all real worriors especially nigerian soldiers out there against the boko haram insurgents

100 AD IN INSECT KINGDOM, WAR AND REVENGE
Early in the year 1888, three kingdoms: ant kingdom(kililut) cockroach kingdom(wikidot) and mosquito kingdom(stufield) lived together in peace and strength, things was going fine until the kililuts attacked having discovered their much strength and advantage over the other two kingdoms because of the zeal for power.
The situation was tough and tense for wikidot and stufield since seeing in the day time is a big problem for them, the kililut killed and made them work all the night for them on thier farm . it was like this until the wikidots remembered Akin.
Akin was a great worrior which the wikidot people joined alliance with the kililut and stufield to chase from thier kingdom because of the fear of his power and knowledge as a spider, this was what brought the three kingdoms close. Akin as a man of power and knowledge decided to leave without any war not for fear but for peace.
We will go to Akin and plead with him to come to our aid, said an elderly cockroach. Not to waste time they left at the start of darkness of the second day so they made it to him before dawn and explain why they came to him. Akin seeing thier troubles decided to help in the fight and with his wisdom, knowledge and power put together and a good deal of planning the kililut fled but all didnt end thier.
Akin we hail you, akin is our warrior, akin the great, when our leaders folded hands Akin is out in war for us, that was what was coming out of the mouth of wikidot and stufields people in praise of Akin. He was treated so well infact like a god. Little or non atall goes to the elders of the kingdom for problem solving but to akin because they see him more competent.
This angered the rulers and elders of the two kingdoms therefore plans to take him down started since they dont want to watch him take over thier kingdom, they taught. They plan day and night And finally agree on a plan to kill and burn him but one of the elders, elder nikiru taught it unfair to gods and man so he decided to help Akin.
Close to darkness of execution day, elder nikiru rushed to Akin in falling and standing as he couldnt see well since its not dark already. On getting there some citizen were at Akins place. Akin on hearing this was filled with fear but scared so he decided leave immediately but the citizens became furious on hearing and Decided to fight back.
The rulers and warriors moved with determination,war started many insects were killed.the kililut seeing their enemies dilemma decided to take advantange and the war grew strong and stronger. War and revenge never ends.

@anakadrian, Correct me if Im wrong, but wasn't the Minority contest done the same way? A month was given, entries were posted onto the site directly by participants..with a window period(two or three days) to edit before it makes home page.. We were all able to read each other's work..for me it worked the opposite way in that, instead of copying others, I knew what to avoid and present an original and unique piece..both in terms of minority tribe and theme(comic, humour etc).. Personally, I had some issues with the moderations viz Why would works on the same tribe be shortlisted? By two different authors? Or even themes? Most of the shortlists had to do with marriage and its ceremonies or the Akwa Ibom traditions. I felt it wasnt well rounded presentation of entries submitted.
Which was why I just laughed when ppl complained that their work will be stolen. Left to me, any two works that bear similarities in plot or storyline, even syntax will attract my closer attention, the work submitted last will be disqualified. Trust me, a plagiarised piece will not escape my scrutiny.

My initial idea would have worked, Anak, if we all had the patience to wait it out and see it through..Bad as e bad, y'all would simply have waited till the last day, or last two days to submit, to avoid plagiarism.
This new way is doable, yea, though more stressful for me..but hey, like somebody pointed out, If Ive had the patience to organise this, I should have the patience to endure the gruelling, mind boggling, finger paining and mb wasting method of hand-grinding pepper..instead of using a blender.
