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.

Of course, @Cole! XD I think I'm going to lift the deadline completely, and hopefully, maybe get some other people interested.
