I know it's early and the Summer Lovin' Contest is still open for entries, but the Halloween Contest starts in a month and a couple of hours from now:


Halloween
themes: scary stuff, costumes, Halloween traditions (trick-or-treating, etc.), etc.
starts: October 1
closes: October 22
winners announced: October 29


Please put your witch's hat on, dig out your Halloween costume, find your local ghosts and start writing.

Or continue writing the story you didn't finish for the 2014, 2013, etc. contests...
 
Don't remind me, I'm still trying to finish my Summer Story before the deadline.

Strange how there is almost a four month gap between the April Fool's and Nude Day contests, but Summer Lovin', Halloween and Winter Holidays have only a month-and-a-half apart between them.

Maybe the site should dump Nude Day and Summer Lovin' back a month or so to space the contests out a little better and give the authors some room to write?
 
If anyone's looking for inspiration, the anime Monster Musume no Iru Nichijou is currently airing, about a young man who finds himself sharing his home with numerous monster girls, including a lamia, centaur, harpy, slime-girl, arachne, and mermaid.
 
I have a fat plot bunny expecting to be released from his cage for Halloween. Along with the one for Summer Lovin' that's bouncing up and down on my desk demanding attention.

Neither one of them seem to give a damn about the story for a new anthology that isn't quite finished and past deadline. It's first no matter what. I just keep telling the other two "You're in line. Have some patience or I'm cutting off your carrots!" :rolleyes:

Hey now, i don't care if it is Halloween, no mutilating the plot bunnies. Cut off their carrots indeed. :eek:
 
I miss Xena, the Warrior Princess. Will anyone be "doing" her?

I would expect to see a few Trump wigs. "Check out my package. It's HUGE!"
 
I'm fed up of this bloody sleep paralysis, it's seriously screwing with my head. Although I know it's been done many times before, I think my story is going to be about that.
 
This is another contest I'm excited for.

I've already went halfway through a mother/son story before stopping, it needs to be reworked.

And I've already made half a bdsm story, which I stopped to write another summer story.

And I've got a few other ideas.

There's a lot to write about here. I don't know about anyone else, but Winter seems like the hardest.
 
Love it! Almost done with my Summer Loving story! But scary Halloween is always my fav! We'll see if I get this in time! I have been trying to get something done for a contest for awhile but the deadline thing always kills my mojo ;P
 
Oh -- can these stories have the same characters as other stories? Not the same story line but characters put in new situations?

Yeah.

I've asked that question before and the answer was yes. It has to be a stand-alone story.

From what I've read about it, it sounds like sleep paralysis can pretty easily be the basis for horror stories. Glad I've never had it myself (yet).

very fitting seeing the old timers referred to it as "Witch Rides"

I've had it, it is seriously fucked up. You think you're moving and yelling and struggling and in reality you're not moving at all.

I'd have bouts of it with my wife curled up next to me and she never knew it was happening even though I swore I was flailing all over the place.
 
I will predictably say I have two great stories for this, one of which is already started. I love scary stories!

But alas, my record for getting stories into contests is not great. Three ideas for summer lovin' has resulted in zilch, though I have hopes still of getting one really short one in at the last minute.

Yes, I annoy even myself. :rolleyes:

What's that the Nike ads say? Just do it, Shea. You've got a lot of talent to share. Forget about perfection. Just let the fingers fly over your keyboard!
 
Let see now, If i take that plot bunny and that plot bunny and....

Now there is an interesting idea. Party anyone?

I believe that is how you end up with a story about a female bisexual transexual tied to a bed of nails by an alien ghost who pours banana slugs over her before they share a two-headed dildo until her brother and mother join in while grandpa and his gay boy toy watch.

Only problem is...what the fuck category do you put it in? :D

I have that problem with most of my stories, "Wherethehell does it go?" I don't know whether I'll be up for Halloween this year, though it does tend to be a great lodge for my favorite 'tentacle sex' perversions but since there's a month to go, I'll keep it in mind.

Hmmm . . . I've got several stories started but gathering dust. I wonder which ones could be changed . . .
