The Holiday Horribles!
** #1347984 Not An Image **

*Snow1**Snow1**Snow1* Have you Overdosed on Holiday Cheer!? *Snow1**Snow1**Snow1*

Do you long for anything other than turkey?
Are mad Aunty Mable's sloppy kisses driving you insane?
One more fruit cake and your head will explode?

Welcome to the The Talent Pond's Holiday Horribles! *Delight*
This contest is the Bah-Humbug! of all Holiday contests; a chance to admit that you are NOT PERKY! and didn't really want nose-hair trimmers from your Hairy Godmother *Thumbsup*

The Rules

*Snow1* Choose any of the Horrible Prompts and create a Short Story (300 - 3000 words)
*Snow1* Sorry! No Poetry. Please see: "Invalid Item" 
*Snow1* Post your entry in the forum using a link ({bitem:#####} substituting # for your items ID number)
*Snow1* The deadline is noon, WDC time, December 7th
*Snow1* One entry, per person, per prompt (so, yes! You can enter up to 7) *Thumbsup*
*Snow1* Type the number of the prompt in the Message Header (eg, My Entry - 'In-Laws')
*Snow1* Your entry can be any rating, but your message post must be forum friendly

*Snow1* *Snow2* *Snow3* *Gift1* The Prompts! *Gift1* *Snow3* *Snow2* *Snow1*

Any genre, any rating. Please highlight the prompt used in your writing *Thumbsup*

Example'In-Laws' - write whatever comes to mind when you consider the prompt in the context of the Holidays ('Meet the Parents' has already had a go at the Robert DeNiro angle, so you may want to look at a fresh one. *Wink*)
