Collect 2024 Write-In Badges

Just to make things a little more fun, we have a set of virtual badges that you can download if you finish each prompt, and a few more that you can find when you explore other National Flash Fiction Day activities.

If you complete one of the prompts, you are welcome to download and display your badge, whether or not you submit and/or publish your response with us.  You can also collect badges for sets.  This year, we have five prompts each of FIRE, EARTH, AIR, WATER and (all) ELEMENTS, labelled A through E.  There are completion badges for all A prompts, all B prompts, etc., as well as all FIRE prompts, all EARTH prompts, and so forth.  Can you bag a collection?

These are all honour-system badges; they'll become available to download as the prompts go live (possibly with a little lag).  

To claim your badges for finishing the prompts, go to the badgifier on the NFFD website.  Enter your story into the form to earn your badge.

The story is 100% private; it is not submitted or saved when you use the badgifier.  No one will be able to read it.  However, if you are concerned, you're welcome to fill the form with an equivalent number of words.  If you would like to submit your flash, you will need to email to us it according to the guidelines on our submit page.

Although you only have until 23:59 BST on Sunday 16 June 2024 to submit work to this year's Write-In for publication with us, you have ALL YEAR to collect all the badges.  The links will disappear in June 2025 when we rejig the badgifier for the 2025 writing prompts.
