Halloween is my favorite holiday because of the talk of ghosts, trick or treating with friends, dressing up and being obnoxious...all that fun stuff. So I thought I'd host a contest.

The contest is very broad-themed. As long as it has to do with Halloween, it can be almost about anything - your favorite trick or treat memory, a visit to a graveyard - even something completely outlandish like...the Simpson's Treehouse of Horrors episodes XD Original fiction, fanfiction, whatever it takes to tell your tale is welcome.

If you're going to something horror-themed, just make sure it's not Sweeny Todd-type gory (yes, even with the cheesy blood effects). Keep it to PG-13 at most, pwease :]

Story length minimum is 150 words. Any font, any font size, any format. Submit attached documents, copy and paste to the submissions forum, whatever.

Prizes!
1st place - absolute bragging rights, plus the below prizes. This is a fun contest, right?
2nd place - a gigantic cookie the size of a tire! O___O Yes, I bet I can find one.
3rd place - Anykind of cupcake you can think of XD
All contestants get hugs, too :]

Submissions end October 25th, with the winner to hopefully be announced on the 31st.

Have fun! :D

This looks like so much fun! I am so entering.

EDIT: I have a question...one, only 150 words?? Two, are we allowed to make up the story?

Story length minimum is 150 words. And yes, you're allowed to make up any story, as long as it somehow connects to Halloween.

*grins* I need to work on my entry for this xD

Aah! Well, this will be hard, but I can do it!

Oh, and this topic should not be in submissions. :)

Moved.

Ahh, triple post now o__o

Anyways, I wasn't online much yesterday and I forgot that it was the 25th. I'm going to extend the deadline all the way to the 30th to submit their stories. Judging will begin on Halloween :]

I'll do it I suppose
I believe ...... Two people can look at the exact same thing and see
something totally different.

I believe....... That your life can be changed in a matter of hours by
people who don't even know you.

I believe. Do you?
