Halloween Stories

[Vincent E]

How many of the AH regulars are planning to submit stories to the Halloween contest?

What do you consider to be a good Halloween plot?

Should a good Halloween story be scary or creepy?

Are you more interested in versions of the classic monster theme, i.e. Dracula meets the Bride of Frankenstein, or original creatures?

I'm planning on writing a story, I have a basic plot idea, and I am not really asking for ideas or advice. I am just wondering what most people think about this particular contest. I haven't entered one before, so I thought I would enter it this year.

I was thinking of a true classic: Abbot & Costello Meet The Wolfman.

I certainly hope Dr M dusts off and updates "Mom's Submarine Anal Halloween Surprise" for the occasion. It deserves a more extensive exposure.

DurtGurl is contemplating an extensive rewrite of "Me and Mom" for the contest, but she still hasn't recovered from her weekend in Tijuana.

I'm still working on last year's Valentines Day contest.

Dear Muffie,
Considering the date, it's about a tossup whether to save it for next year.

Oh, I think it has. She's been getting these mysterious love letters from a donkey, though.

That would be Herbert, Right? He is such an ass! He would fuck anything with two legs and a skirt!

An American who can use the word ass correctly!

Sorry, that was just too easy. I'm currently writing something for the Halloween contest. However I have been writing for over a year now (I started it for last year's Halloween contest) so I wouldn't hold any hopes of seeing it just yet.

[Icingsugar]

Huh... If I start now, I just might have one ready for next year...

 

[Svenskaflicka]

I plan to follow Tradition, as I do for every Seasonal Contest.

1. I decide to enter the contest.
2. I make up a good plot.
3. I wait until the very last day before I start actually WRITING the story.
4. I post it about 10 minutes before midnight.
5. I don't win.
6. I sulk.

Does a Halloween story have to have that Michael Myers guy in it? I keep trying to think of a Halloween story, but that guy just doesn't make for much eroticism. It's something about that hockey mask. And when you throw that Donald Pleasance character into the mix, it's not heading for the door marked 'sexy'.

 

[Uther_Pendragon]

I've written two Halloween stories in the past. One
involved a monster, one was simply about trick-or-treat.
I don't think I'll be playing this year.

 

[Jenny _S]

I suppose...

Halloween stories have to at least mention Halloween and stuff, right? To make it worse, I suppose there are rules and like that?

I hate this contest already and I haven't even started

 

[Wantonica]

Well, I'm doing a Munster family incest story, and if anyone else does that, I'll have a record that I presented the idea first. Huh.

Shit-eating grin,

Svenskaflicka,

Maybe you're trying for the wrong prize. Anybody can be a winner-just look at George Bush. The real challenge for a Lit writer is finishing last.

For instance, best I recall, during the Nude Day contest, a truly unique group of writers, including Og and I, were in a titanic struggle for last place when, just as the contest was entering the home stretch, Gauche came hurtling out of somewhere on a fast descent into the very bowels of nowhere and snatched the honor of finishing in last place from the rest of us.

Jenny's idea for an Abbot and Costello fan/fic story and Wantonica's Munster family incest inspiration make them early favorites in this contest. But remember our motto, "Nothing ventured, nothing lost."

Not to be picky, but Micheal Myers wore a modified William Shatner mask in Halloween. Jason wore the hockey mask in the Friday the 13th sequels, not the original. As far as Donald Pleasance is concerned, women are always saying that they find older, balding men sexy. Just have him going down on Jamie Lee Curtis before the bad guy strikes.

What is the most important thing about Halloween in general, though? The candy, monsters and being scared, or guilt free sex at the office party?

Yay me. I never did find out if I'd 'won'. I also managed to get some execrable feedback for that, like they weren't expecting any sex in the story at all, or death, or humour.

Would a re-write of 'Sleeping Beauty' be elligible for Hallowe'en? It has witches.

Wantonica's rule applies to this idea too.

Or even, *what* you won...

Actually, Gauche, they are fairies, but the one that does the spell is evil, e.g., vain and proud. In the ballet of the tale her name is Carabosse and is usually played by a male dancer, so cross-dressing would be an added attraction. It's a great character, thanks for the idea.

knackers

Please translate, I only know 'knackered'; what does the noun mean? We're tired people? We tire you out?

[gauchecritic]

Despair. An expletive uttered at times when something has not panned out as expected or gone wrong. Also: Bollocks. Fuck. Shite. Bastard.

Gauche, sorry for the knacks. Really.

Well I for one call for a recount maybe some of readership didn't understand the voting system
