Scream bloody murder.

All right guys. I'm looking for horror.

Brownie points for usage of squirrels but you won't get marked off if they aren't present.

Prewrites are allowed but make sure I haven't read it.

You can have naked mutilated bodies if you want, I don't care. But please don't have a sex scene unless it's necessary (like if he's gonna distract her and then stab her or something like that).

Swearing is fine but I don't want it like every other word, k?

Put in your author's notes, "the dead squirrel ate my bunny."

The most important rule in any contest: Have fun and be creative.

Ask me if you have any questions.

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on August 14, 2007
  • Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 200, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 5 people
  • Final notes:
    Well, here it is, the final close of this contest. Thank you to all of those who entered. I sensed imagery in every one.

    For the authors of Offering and Frost and Heat, these stories were different than all of the others and I feel you deserve credit for that. I didn't expect to have a poem or a male victim in this contest.

    Again, thank you to all those who entered. Keep writing and good luck in future contests.
