Hall of Fame
A special section dedicated to any entry that qualifies for the Booby Bonus.
Not only does having a booby in your story gurantee your name in lights here, you are also entered into a prize draw to win a plushie booby or other toy as well.
Three such plushies were given away in the October 2025 and February 2026 competitions
The May Flash Fiction contest will be no different, with plushies again dependent on the number of entrants. However, as always there will be a slight twist so watch this space.
