Well, basically, everyone agrees a deadline, word limit and so on. Contestants write their entries and PM them to the contest organiser (last year that was Yanal). After the deadline has passed, the contest organiser will create a new thread containing all of the entries. Nobody will know who wrote which entry. For the past two years, the winning entry has been decided by poll vote.

Simples.

No problem. Just say how horrifying you want it to be and what type of ghosts you want to have in it. I will see what I can do.

Anything. I don't mind, as long as it is horror. I do like the Japanese version of the Grudge (Ju-on).
 
Jazakallah Khair Muezzin for posting all the links, i read some of the stories and they were very interesting! Just tell me when we can start writing and when the deadline is
 
(note to all who have those yuumy eatery huge pics under their posts, please have mercy on us, who get really hungry while looking at them :hiding: )
 
I can only write story spoilers, sorry but thats what im good at :D

( i shall spoil the stories !!all of them !):Evil:

"The horror..... the horror..."

Interesting that you said that. I've had a little horror project in the works for a year or so. It really hasn't had much progress yet, but the idea is in my head. It's a Lovecraftian-type horror theme set against the backdrop of WW1 (yes, that again. What can I say? I'm a WW1 nerd right now).
 
i am in. i am in!!!
 
I would love to join!
I'll try and think of some story plots in the meanwhile...
 
When will the contest start :? I am waiting :unhappy:. I want to read everyone's stories :).
 
:sl:

Change of plans. I found a copy of an old story I had written long ago. I'm thinking of re-writing it since I looked through it and it was total crap.

Here's a plot for you, at no charge.

Boy meets girl. Boy meets girl's father who is a widower. Girl's father meets boy's mother who is a widow. Writer meets a big headache trying to untangle the plot.

Sounds kinda like 'The Parent Trap', or another variation of the 'matchmaker' subgenre of romantic comedy. No headaches necessary. :)
 
:sl:

Wait, is that even allowed here? I thought romantic subplots were a taboo subject...
