For this week’s challenge, an odd sort.
I want you to write a story of going against authority. That can mean whatever it means — but I want it to be a story with attitude, with a take-no-shit, have-no-fucks style. Whatever genre, whatever theme you want.
Get rude.
Be profane.
Middle fingers up.
Chaos and rebellion and whatever else you care to muster.
Due by: noon on Friday, 3/31.
Length: 1000 words
Post at your online space.
Give us a link below.
Fuck yeah.

Oh, I don’t know. man.
Well, I sat down and 1,000 words later, the story is done. It’s a more subtle F-you and I hope people get it. I’ll post it Friday. Thanks for making me work my creativity. I need the practice!
Fuck you, I’m not doing this.
And he lived happily ever after. The End.

I made a story involving magic, horses and a generous bosom:

Hurray for generous bosoms!

http://slwhshorts.blogspot.com/2017/03/flash-fiction-challenge-fuck-you-thats.html Profanity is not my strong point but this weeks challenge was perfect for what I was feeling.

I went over the word count a bit, but I loved the voice of this character. I could write her all day. http://andreaspeed.com/2017/flash-fic-challenge-its-the-end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it-and-i-dont-give-a-fuck/
Mannnnnnn I wanna read this whole book and maybe see the movie! Love it.
Thank you! It is fun to write about the apocalypse from the perspective of someone who’s actually cool with it. And not in a psychotic way, just a “shrug” sort of way. Adapting and moving on.

I went whole-hog on this week’s superhero chapter. Weighing in at 2090 words, I give you “Headstrong:” http://wp.me/p4le2s-1PL
Ahhh, you write this WAY too fast! 😛 At this rate, you’ll be on series #3, Starbound*, before I’m even halfway through Sixteen Sunsets!
*continuing with the theme of celestial bodies, of course.
You’re close! It’ll be called “Starfall,” Cindy has already committed to be my co-pilot in 2018. We have a super-rough outline slready.

I do not have permission to view? Why for?
I’m a little short on the word count, but this was right up my alley. Just started with a question and kept going. Titled “What’s the Fucking Point?” (Edited title for profanity-sensitive family members who see my posts on Facebook.)

I’m without a car this week… but I’ll see what I can do with this one. :/

I tried… not my best work.
Here is my story inspired by the limit, the number zero, Newton, and a favorite Calculus lesson.

Now that was a great deal of fun. I genuinely enjoyed the voices of the, um, characters (don’t want to spoil anything).
[…] can find Wendig’s original suggestion here: http://terribleminds.com/ramble/2017/03/24/flash-fiction-challenge-fuck-you-thats-what/ and you have until Friday to post your own entry. When I first read the prompt, I immediately […]
What is it about the post that you try to be Resistant, but end up unexpectedly sentimental? Is there some deeper truth there? Also, sorry about the word count, but a story needs to be as long as it needs to be. Here’s my entry: https://kajmeister.wordpress.com/2017/03/29/in-line/

Errr. way over word count. Not sorry. Cyberpunk neighborhood watch.
Nice, and by that I mean “not nice at all,” in a good way.
Thank you!
This is a superhero tale called “Fuck Authority (But Use Protection)”

This was a good deal of fun, especially when re-imagining a story know for its lack of rebellion:

After reading the weekly challenge, the song “Y’all Wanna Single” by Korn popped into my mind. My story was partially inspired by it.
https://brainfartcom.wordpress.com/2017/03/30/for-chuck-wendigs-weekly-challenge-yall-wanna-single-in-honour-of-korn/
It was the best I could come up with on short notice. Please enjoy!

Well… the words “Goblin Liberation Front” came into my mind and I had to do something about it. Here’s “Children of the Revolution”, with humour, I hope:

Here’s my entry into the flash fiction challenge. https://www.bobschueler.com/blog/the-box-flash-fiction
It’s maybe a bit tame for the theme, but it’s what came out. It’s got characters from my novel The 25 Years.
Here’s this week’s story. Went a little over, but not too much. I hope you enjoy it and that no one is offended…. which is funny considering this week’s prompt.

A bit over the word count. Not exactly a super intense one either, but its not bad if i do say so myself.

Tried to get this through last night – must have had a connection problem. Resubmitting.
