  • Halloween contest - GHOST TOWN

    Speaking of "blood"...

    Halloween contest prompt? This place has become a GHOST TOWN.

    I'm figuring a literal or figurative take would work.

    Mod edit: for posterity, the entries thread is here and the results thread is here.

      Heeeey here we are in September already. Next thing you know, the damn leaves will be turning brown and falling to the ground, like the quitters they are.

      The weeks are going to fly by and before you know it, we'll be trick or treating.

      Halloween falls on a Tuesday. I wonder if it might be better to aim for submitting entries a week earlier, say the 23rd, so reading and voting can happen and the results can get announced on Halloween, rather than after the event.

      DISCUSS.

                      I'd like to try to put something together in time. What are the parameters? Page count and such...

                            8 pages max, as Derek as posted but I think he wants the contest to wrap up on October 31. Since we usually allow a week for voting, I'm guessing, and planning as far as my own entry goes, to use one week before the 31st as the deadline. So the 24th of October will be the deadline. Sooooooooo to make a long story longer just about now Derek should be posting the official Halloween contest announcement thread since the contest is usually announced about 4 weeks before entry deadline.


                            I think I got all that stuff right.

                              I didn't want to presume anything, lol. Didn't know if bioprofessor or you wanted to do the admin. The dates sound right.
