| Challenge 299: UPRISING |
It’s dangerous. Even success will probably result in some collateral damage, and failure could have catastrophic consequences. But sometimes, things are just so bad that there’s really only one way out: rising up and doing something about it, no matter the costs along the way. Would your characters participate in an uprising, given the chance? Would they lead it? Or would they try to stop it, for whatever reason? How does it work out for them? Write a story about an uprising. If your submission features this line, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting! |
| Challenge ends Monday, May 4 at 9:00PM EST. • Post submissions as new entries using the template in the profile • Tag this week's entries as: [#] submission, 299 – uprising • If you have questions about this challenge, please ask them here |
Here are this week's votes tallied, and below the cut are our winners for Challenge #298 – Disappearance!

| Challenge 298: DISAPPEARANCE |
These days, it’s not easy to disappear. There’s legal records, digital records – it’s hard to vanish entirely. But it’s still not impossible, and some people find it much easier than others. Before cellphone cameras, it was a lot easier, and in a world without modern technology, or with much better technology, it might be easier still. Do your characters want to disappear? Or are they looking for someone who’s gone missing? How hard is it to vanish, for them? How hard is it to find someone who’s disappeared? Write a story about a disappearance. If your submission features this line, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting! |
| Challenge ends Monday, April 27 at 9:00PM EST. • Post submissions as new entries using the template in the profile • Tag this week's entries as: [#] submission, 298 – disappearance • If you have questions about this challenge, please ask them here |

Happy Wednesday!
I'm taking search offline sometime today to upgrade the server to a new instance type. It should be down for a day or so -- sorry for the inconvenience. If you're curious, the existing search machine is over 10 years old and was starting to accumulate a decade of cruft...!
Also, apparently these older machines cost more than twice what the newer ones cost, on top of being slower. Trying to save a bit of maintenance and cost, and hopefully a Wednesday is okay!
Edited: The other cool thing is that this also means that the search index will be effectively realtime afterwards... no more waiting a few minutes for the indexer to catch new content.
