Horror Genre! We've dimmed the lights and given the site a spooky feel. We
hope you will take the time this month to explore the genre further, both in your
writing and reading.

:: 6th Birthday Wrap Up! ::
Thank you very much to everyone who participated in Writing.Com's Sixth
Birthday celebration! The week's events were a lot of fun and a huge success.
We had a huge turn out for "Good Deeds Go Noticed" 
and the winners were awarded and posted shortly after the contest closed.

Choosing the winners of "Limericks! Limericks! Limericks!" , however, was
much more difficult. We received dozens of great entries and picking winners
was no small task! The winners, the prizes and all of the winning limericks have
been posted here:
