Absolute Horror

by Pennywise

Rated: 18+ · Group · Horror/Scary · #1281992

A Group for those interested in everything dark and scary.

I have a dream. Oops, that’s been used before, besides it was more like a thought. There are many great groups at WDC and each does certain things; contests, forums, review requests, etc. Well, the thought I had was to conglomerate all these elements into one Group, with the aim of getting writers some more feedback (after all, helpful criticism can sometimes open our eyes and minds to new ideas – as well as weed out all the errors we missed, while our eyes watered with exhaustion, late into the wee hours of the morning)

So what will the Group provide to its members?

Members Only Contest
This will be a infrequent contest offering a prize of 10,000 GP's to the winner. The prompt will be set out in the "Old Style" giving the writer less restrictions - so any style any sub-genre.

In & Out Prompt Page
For those poor people unfortunate enough to be struggling with writers block (I have been one of the unfortunate ones on many occasion). If you have some prompts, story ideas, opening lines, etc to share - please leave some behind (one day you may need them too) - These will also be used for the contests.

for the donations given.

It's difficult to keep a Group going, and especially its contests, every donation is received with appreciation and gratitude. If you would like to send a donation to the group, please feel free to and I'll put a link to your portfolio up. And as the case with other contests, any donations of 30,000 GP's will be awarded a Merit Badge of my choice. Thank you again to the people above for keeping the contests and the group going.
