The Terrifying Contest

Holysocks · 2014-06-23T23:05:06Z

Hello! I know there's a few horror fans out there, and I'm feeling a bit... hyper. 8) So what shall we do about that? Hold a contest, of course! What's this about? I'm glad you asked! It's pretty simple. The object of this contest is to scare me. Be creative, darlings, but we are going to limit the 'scaring' to story telling. It wouldn't really work otherwise, because I'd be expecting it... and we're on the internet, so... Objective: Write the most scary short story, song, poem, etc. Be as creative as possible, I'm open to odd things ( really open ). How do I enter? Publish your work on YWS and then post the link to it here. Prizes: First place ~ Bragging rights that you scared the socks off me, and 10,000 points, and 4 reviews on the works of your choice ( By myself, and a couple awesome people, I'll mention them later ). Second place ~ 2000 points, and two reviews on works of your choice. Third place ~ 1000 points, and a review on the work of your choice. Honourable Mention ~ All participants that do not win first, second, or third place, will receive a gift for their efforts. Rules: All I'm asking is that everyone has fun, and are good winners and losers.

Yeah, @EscaSkye it's still open! I just have to get my butt in gear... I've been rather absent lately.

I see. Well, here goes nothing!

Here's my entry, @Holysocks Save You, Save Me

I'm not too sure if you'd consider it scary, but it's worth a shot.

Not anymore.

Does the story have to be made up or can it be retold?

It can totally be retold, I think... The point is just to be as terrifying as you can be. Go for it @SARAHJO.

I would just submit an old legend and add some fluff to it, but I feel obligated to come up with something original. The thing is, I'm at a major loss for creativity. >.<

@SARAHJO, it is totally fine if you redo a old story, or if you don't feel up to it, that's fine too.
