Not So Scary Banner [#1591033] Not So Scary Banner


Can you write a story about Halloween, that has scary elements, but will fit in the 13+ rating of Writing.com? In this contest I am looking for stories that should involve children and an event around Halloween. Peril has to be make-believe, no bodily harm may come to any character. Fiction and non-fiction are welcome.

To allow for real life hilarious stories to be written down after Halloween, the deadline for entries is November 15th 2009 at 11:59 pm WDC time.

The Rules:

Right Short stories with a maximum of 2000 words. Sorry, no poetry.

Right Include a word count at the top or bottom of the story. Not in the forum post.

Right One entry per author.

Right New stories preferred. Stories that were posted to WDC since Halloween 2008 and which have NOT received an award may get submitted.

Right There are no restrictions on editing your stories. But: entries might be read at any time, so edits after posting may not be seen. All reviews will get sent out after the contest closes on November 15th.

Right Post link to your story in the forum using the bitem link. "The illustrated guide to linking" 

The Prizes:

First Place 10k orange ribbon and a Merit Badge

Second Place 10k ribbon or Merit Badge

Third Place 10k ribbon or Merit Badge

Up to two Honorable Mentions will get 5k in giftpoints
