Character Flaws Character Flaws](https://www.writing.com/main/images/action/display/ver/1520007428/item_id/2150953.jpg)  Not every woman is a buxom beauty with cascading, silken hair.  Not every man is a muscled, charming hunk. People have flaws--and so should the characters in our stories. Flaws can help bring a character to life. Thus, we come to the purpose of this contest: Every month I will prompt you to write a short story with a character that has a specific flaw. The best stories showing how the character uses his or her flaw wins PRIZES! Let's go over some pesky RULES:  Pen a new story for this contest  One entry per person per monthly prompt  Sorry, no poetry or essays allowed  Link your story using bitem format  Your story has a 2500 word limit  Post word count with your bitem link  Keep ratings 13+ or lower  Follow the prompt Things to Remember:  Editing is allowed until the deadline.  Watch your P's and Q's. Spelling and grammar will be nitpicked.  A story has a beginning a middle (with some sort of conflict) and an end.  PRIZES!
