The October contest is now open!! PROMPT: 'Trick Or Treat!' WORD COUNT: 500-1500 words I will be the judge. Works will be judged on the following: 1) The concept. 2) The tone. That is, the sense of horror, terror or unease. 3) Technical aspects. Spelling, grammar, syntax, etc. must all be as strong as possible. 4) How well it tells a story. Be careful of this. 5) How well the prompt is integrated into the story. Rules: 1) The competition runs until 11:59pm (WDC time), October 28, 2023. No late entries will be accepted. 2) The prompt and word count must be followed. 3) To enter, start a new thread in the forum and include the story as a bitem link. 4) The word count and the prompt must be included at the bottom of the actual item (in a dropnote is fine). 5) The entry must be new, created on or after September 28, 2023. Editing of an entry can occur up to the closing date of the contest. 6) Must be a stand-alone story, not part of a series or a section from a longer work.
