    If you're going to warn participants about spelling, you should watch your usage of "your" and "you're"

    Does a story about the start of a serial killers 'career' count? As in, he's so far only killed one person?

  • I did ghosts, though not really scary or....more thriller.

  • Anyway I could convince you to make it two entries per person, I have another story that i had just written that i wanna type up for this contest.

    I have a paranormal/ghost story I would like to submit, but I have a question. One of the characters in my story is based off a person on this site, since that was one of the prompts for her contest. I hope that is not an issue.

    I just noticed that the story is also 5,700 words. Since your limit is 4,000, I went over by quite a bit. If it is too much of a problem, just DQ me.

    Does it have to be a SERIAL killer? :/ Can it not just be a creepy murder?

      Not ever since Twilight. So blame the EVIL Stephanie Meyer for killing a great horror genre!

    Sorry I have another question: you hate vampires, but that doesn't mean we can't have them in our entries right? The vampire in my story is soooo twisted and awesome (if I do say so myself ) and I HATE Twilight.

        Uhh, it's called "His Biggest Fan" and the main character is a female vampire named Lydia Black who is obsessed with this sexy gothic rock singer. So she disguses herself as a "groupie" and...well...I won't spoil it for you. It's not quite finished but I'm gonna try to submit it sometime tonight or tomorrow if possible (I have a huge @$$ math exam on Monday). Also, the story itself is deeply disturbing so read at your own risk.
        The singer Lydia's obsessed with is based off of a REAL singer who I'm crazy about (I'm sure you can all guess who that is, unless you don't watch the show of course).

          I love disturbing. Nothing fazes me. I don't know who the singer is *pouts* I don't watch much TV at all. I'll be watching for it.

    Wow I just wrote the most disgusting and creepy serial killer story ever . Can't wait to post it, but I probably won't have time.
