Contest Horror, Taboo, Gore, (And a slice of humor) by Drac

THIS CONTEST IS CLOSED FOR JUDGING, AS OF JULY 26. ANY ENTRIES ENTERED AFTER THIS DATE WILL BE DQ'ED!
(HOWEVER, I JUST STARTED UNIVERSITY, AND I NEED A LITTLE TIME TO SETTLE IN BEFORE JUDGING THIS, THANKS FOR UNDERSTANDING)


Okey, this is a simple prompt contest... you all know the format. So, go ahead, choose one of these options and go with it! Write something new, I dare you

Option 1:
Write a horror piece that takes place before the year 1900.


Option 2:
Write a horror piece about a subject that is taboo! Bonus points for making this as disturbing as you can possibly muster!

Examples of taboo subjects:
- Religion (You know, like the exorcist did back in the day)
- Incest and pedophilia (preferably with relating murders)
- War crimes (in a horror context, of course)
- Snuff

Ah, I suck at thinking of taboo subjects today, so you can definately use your own subjects, mine are just examples.


Option 3:
Extremely gory horror!
(And I do mean extremely gory!)


Option 4:
On a lighter note, write me a story about someone who is a member of a interplanetarian community that arranges surprise-parties around the galaxy.


Option 5:
Write me a horror story that is centered around time-travel.


Option 6:
Write horror/comedy
(For reference, these movies are great examples of horror/comedy, and you can feel free to write something inspired by these movies:
Severance, Shaun of the dead, Hatchet, Lesbian Vampire Killers, The Cottage, Planet Terror, Fido, Bubba Ho-Tep, Army Of Darkness, Evil Dead 2)


Option 7:
Disturbing! Bring me something disturbing, preferably horror.


Option 8:
Write a horror-story about zombies!
This is often done, but seldom done well. Change that ;D


Alrighty, that's quite enough of that.

Now, rules you say? There are no rules.
Write lIkE ThiS IF yOu ThInK it makes your story better.
Write as much erotica as you want.
Swear as much as you want.
Bash anything you want, this is even encouraged.
There is no need to write what option you chose, I'll understand that one.

So, go ahead, enter! Do it now, yes now, do it now!
(Btw, points will probably go up as I get my hands on more )

      Goodie =D Looking forward to reading your story ;D

  • Okay is it okay to enter my story - if I plan on turning it into a novella later- it is a stand alone story? Or is is possible to enter a part of a series Like the first part... Look you know me, and you know how I love this genre so if I can get you something before then I will most def do it - I just have a writing assigment for my course thats going to take a long time to finish and I really want to enter. So Is it okay to enter one now and replace it when i write a fresh one or something -just let me know. This is the kinda contest I am looking for -dream of- hunger for...

    ALSO- I burnt my arm last night and now it hurts to write because its blown into a bubble- cause thats what happens when you burn your skin ;[

    WHY

    blairy

      Any stand alone story is allowed into the contest, and so is a part of a series, as long as it makes some kind of sense without having read the whole thing =D
      And of course you can enter one now, then enter a new one later, it's up to you Blair =)
      Hope your arm gets better soon! Worst thing that can happen to a writer that :/
      Looking forward to reading your entry =)

  • I have two stories that could be good for that

    Dang, I guess cannibalism isn't a taboo subject is it?

      Well, maybe if you twist it a bit ;D
      Eating people isn't very normal, and I'm sure many kinds of cannibalism can be considered taboo... like sexual cannibalism and eating of children and so forth =P
      However, such a story can easily fit under extreme gore, horror/comedy and even the disturbing option, if it's all done right... Guess it depends on whether or not it's a work in progress or something you've already finished ;D

        I switched my entry to "The Divine Truth"--a disturbing cult story that I think you will enjoy very much. We have similiar writing styles...so I'm anxious to see what you think of it. Did I mention that's it's disturbing?
