I've written many stories and have received some good feedback but have never tried to compete with others. I've been thinking recently that it would be nice to enter a piece of my flash-fiction in one of the many competitions I see advertised. But before I do that, I'd like to try to maximise my chances of winning. So my question is: **what are the specific writing techniques that can be used to make a short piece of fiction more likely to win a competition?** I'm aware that this can be interpreted as asking: 'how can I write good fiction?', but I want to be more specific here. I'm trying to get at the things, if they exist, that make _competitive_ fiction-writing different from _general_ fiction-writing.
