Monthly Writing Competition: Keep Up The Standard!

[zachri]

The theme is completely optional. It doesn't have to be about Halloween if you don't want it to.

OOo oki~
I have a vague idea of what I might write, though it's bad enough I've already got a fic on the mind B)
though the 'category' it would be in is rather odd ; 3 ;''

[trappedolphin]

Even if it's Halloween-themed, it doesn't necessarily have to be gore. A comedy would be fun too! :)

Will probably do something like a nightmare or something o , o
like not a gorey one... just really... weird.

[trappedolphin]

Sure, that sounds cool :)

And what happened to all those stories we were promised! *glares at Woody*

[Kitsune Inferno]

I've decided not to submit this time and fill one of the judging spots this time around.

So heads up, guys.~

[trappedolphin]

Ah okay cool~ Hopefully more entries will come in soon! :)

[LaCaSiNa]

Is horror in general accepted as Halloween-y enough?

[RPGJay]

Is horror in general accepted as Halloween-y enough?

I think so. Horror is part of the spirit of Halloween.

[LaCaSiNa]

Hmmmmmmmm. Hmmm. Hm. Intriguing.

Might I be able to continue Garbled Sanctuary...?

[ChesCa]

Do eet. Do EEEEEEET!!
Pretty please with sugar on top?
I'm a good organizer. :D
(But seriously, I also like Silent Hill, and I'd like to review more than one story. ^^; )

[trappedolphin]

Will the Christmas theme be for next month or the month after that?

[ChesCa]

Hmmm...I'd like to make it in December, actually. It'll be judged in January, but might as well have everyone type while they're in the spirit.

[trappedolphin]

Yeah, that sounds good :D

[BartArt]

Can I join in and write something, is this where I sign up?

[Dryish]

Can I join in and write something, is this where I sign up?

Anyone can join in as long as they have something to show. Just write something, create a thread of your own and link your text here if you want to enter the competition. All the people here are always willing to read stories from new writers, so please, go ahead and write something. :D

I don't want to disappoint anyone so I won't promise anything, but all right, I'll try! :) The deadline was at the end of this month, correct?

[RPGJay]

Yup. The deadline is October 31st.

[LaCaSiNa]

Still not making any promises, but I did manage to at least start the next chapter. I'll try my best to have it ready by the end of the month.

[piratemarimo]

how is it already four days before the deadline? orz

[LaCaSiNa]

My entry for the October competition is now finished and can be found and read here.

The character count is 9959, or at least that's what Word tells me. Now remember, this is a DIRECT CONTINUATION to the first part which was also a competition entry in its time. It's still fanfiction, but I have tried my best to write in a way where the reader doesn't have to possess any previous familiarity with the source material. I also tried to reduce the amount of excessive description of which I have been criticized for. Whether or not I have succeeded is up for the readers to decide~ It's mostly a build-up chapter, but hopefully at least a halfway decent one.
