All rules apply to this one.
It's pretty general, but if you have any questions, just ask.
Choose one and ONLY ONE:
1) Write a creepy story or poem, horror or mystery, something that will make my hairs stand, my sweat drip, my blood boil. 100-2000 words, anything that is CREEPY as hell. I would really like something... not rape, or fears that have a sexual or torturous meaning to them (even though the example I put does have rape.) I'd rather like something like a serial killer, or your room in the dark, or something more original.
2) Write the most Random thing you could think of! Something that will make me giggle, and which will involve the most randmost sayings, characters, objects, or situations ever known to man.
Other than that...
Maximum 2 entries, one from each.
DATE: Nov. 3
Expect the results by Nov. 10
NO OLD PIECES PLEASE!
First prize: 3 critiques and 500 points
Second prize: 2 critiques and 50 points
Third Prize: 1 critique and 5 points
The stories would be judged by
a) creativity
b) following the guidelines
c) how well-written it is
d) spelling and grammar
e) if I know that I could never have written it.
Please post your stories on the forums, don't pm them or post them on here, just post the link--and make sure to also write out the link, sort of like

not
Literary Fiction Forum
Examples are:
1) Snoink's How to Kill a Baby or Claudette's Act of Love
2) Aet Linding's The Sminks or ArtLuvr19's Do Not Read This Story
May the best one win! |

Ooh! Ooh! Read mine! There are a few too many words, but I hope it still counts.
I think it's scary, at least.
