EXcellent!
I might be cooking up something for this....
I did a an article on the Ten Most Evil Serial Killers of all time ... I'm very fimiliar with these names...
You might add:
Can I write on some OTHER than the Killers you mentioned... -
-
Well I did specifically chose Killers I had read about or watched movies about.
If you want to do another serial killer.
Tell me what you know in a personal message.
And I shall see if I am interested in the killer.
;] I might have to my own research as well.
-
-
You could add Thug Behram....responsible for almost 900+ murders in the sub-continent, often described as the most prolific killer of all time. He used to strangle people with a ceremonial cloth....
-
-
A, are you still planning on entering in the WRITE ME A KILLER contest. I have extended the time and am about to allow any serial killer ;] Let me know
-
-
I'm looking forward to writing something for this, if I can ^^
-
-
Will you be entering my contest any time soon?
-
-
'Fraid not, I'm leaving for my holiday in an hour and I'll be back in a week. I won't be able to access Storywrite D:
-
-
-
*shudders at clown pic at the top* lol..
Anyways, I've bookmarked this and I'll see if I can come up with something
-
-
Personally the joker is probably the only clown that does not scare the shit out of me, but I liked the picture and it looks smexy on my contest...
-
-
I'm the same way with the Joker lol... and it does look good on the contest
-
-
-
Ahh! the Bloody Countess!! She's my favorite killer in all of history!
-
Oh, am I EVER going to have fun with this...
-
Oh man, John Wayne Gacy (Jr)....
-shivers- -
What about Gary Ridgway AKA, "The Green River Killer"? In 2003 he pleaded guilty to killing 48 women, though he actually claims to have killed more than 90 women.

He creeps the fuck out of me.

I am tempted to enter but I couldn't do it in two days and I know a LOT about serial killers. Probably too much, but they're all so...hm..fun? I dunno who to choose.
-
-
Like said. If I get peeps interested I will open it for longer.
Two days, not a problem. I will be opening this for another 13 days ;]

Hi Blair!
I think I've exceeded the word limit with 'Louisa's Last Mile'.
Aspasia
-
I would like to enter this since we spent a lot of time researching Serial Killers--but it's a novel that Andy and *Me* wrote together
. The prologue would fit the word count but the whole story is closing on 100,000 words.
-
I have been working on s story that would fit well in this contest. It is based on Andrei Chikatilo.
-
-
Sure if he is a serial killer and it follows the rules then sure ;]
-
-
Armin Meiwes?
-
You're not still interested in keeping this open, are ya? If not, that's alright
-
-
I need another entry at least to draw the contest.
So please enter. It will be open untill then at least.
-
-
I am really going to try and shoot something out for this...
My writing projects have been a bit hectic lately
So I'm going to try!! 
-
-
Do the best you can.
I will love anything bordering the guidlines even <3
-
-
I have a feeling at the way things are going.. my 'killer' story is going to be more of a series perhaps. It's getting rather long and I haven't even reached the critical climax of the story yet Nowhere near it, actually- LoL
So, I guess my question is now- are you accepting chapters for this, or only complete short stories? -
-
Submitt your peice princess.
Ypu spent time writing it.
I would love for you to enter.
I know the feeling very well

my mom grew up in the same town as Gacy. she saw missing signs of some of the boys he murdered. and my uncle saw him when Gacy was a teenager. when I lived in Chicago I went to a haunted house and it had a Gacey theme: clowns.
also, on the way to my Grandma's in WI we'd have to drive through Gein's town. even though his house was burned down, it was still creepy.
cool contest by the way. -
-
Now that scares the shit out of me.
I saw the movie ED GEIN... and I think they would have to burn it down.
Can you imagine what it would smell like? -
-
unpleasant
-
-
-
I have now thought of a perfect idea, everything. I am ready to write it but he's not in your list dear. I'd really like to use him though, if it's not already ended XD
David Berkowitz [Son Of Sam], by the way. -
-
Go for it.
If you have an idea.
I will re-open it and keep doing so till I am happy.
-
-
Sorry Blair.
It's more trouble than I wish to bother with. 'Louisa's Last Mile'.
