Flash Fiction Challenge: The SubGenre Smash-And-Grab

AND WE’RE BACK.

And we return with an old favorite.

We shall make subgenres dance together for our whims.

I will give you 20 subgenres. You will pick two from the list either using a d20 or random number generator (or use monkey knuckles or coffee grounds or whatever), then you will write a short story that mashes up those two subgenres.

Length: We’ll say 1500 words.

Due by: Next Friday (5/19), noon EST.

Post at your online space.

Link to it in the comments below. So we can all read it!
