In early January, your main character enters a game where anyone can quit at any time, but anyone who loses a round faces consequences that impact their lives long after the game has ended. As each round progresses, players are forced to risk their reputations, relationships, and even future opportunities. Write a story about what your main character does as continuing to play the game quickly becomes more and more dangerous.
Stuck? Consider these starters:
Why did your protagonist(s) decide to participate in the first place? What do they have to lose? What happens to someone who loses? Is the game digital or in-person? Why does your character continue to play despite the risks? What eventually causes your protagonist to quit (or continue playing)?
​
Due to staffing shortages, FSF will unfortunately be unable to provide feedback on stories submitted this January.
