The History Kid 662 Posted October 3 I don't know what to tell y'all. But I'm thinkin' it must be Fall. Greetings and salutations AF. Each and every season has its own set of grand festivities attached to it, and so must we. (I said we must!) As such, it also comes with it's own share of contests. We're in the spoopy season, and that means scary things, creepy things, and generally stuff that'll make you go "ahhh! Mom! A Kardashian is hiding under my bed!" - Well maybe not that last part. Anyway...we have come up with a series of contests, and here's one of the first! 1,000 points a piece will be awarded to the winners of three (3) categories in this contest. That should cover most of you and your creative abilities. Remember, the idea is to have fun, so just relax...drink some hot tea, watch a horror movie or two, or your favorite anime Halloween special, and let the ideas come to you naturally. I am informed that everyone will get a nice, shiny badge for participating. You can put these next to the other badges you have on your quest to be an AnimeForums.net master. That's almost the same thing as a Pokémon Master, except that there's no league, and there's an actual risk of being goosed by Robert Deniro or Frankie Munez. Contest Reqirements I'd like for there to be a good spread in the kind of stories we get, and I want you to feel like you have the time to flesh out the best that you can write up, so I'm going to set the deadline for this out to 19 October. You are limited to two sentences. Make sure you sell it in those two sentences as well. No run-on's! I'm gonna be reading these out loud and I really don't want to take a huge breath in the middle because there were no commas. Scare the judges. Seriously. I don't know who all they are, but they deserve it. I want to hear complaints about how you made them unable to sleep for nights after the contest ends. Judging Categories: The Washija Special (My pick!) Most original Most creative Let's get spoopy, y'all! Ope! 1 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seshi 1,595 Posted October 3 There was a darkness dancing over the small town, another strange day for the residents who hurried into their homes. The dancing shadow growing taller, soon to block out the remaining light; screams ringing from the open windows, as Susie bent to close that dollhouse’ doors. 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wanted to do one about the tooth fairy so bad! It was going to be about reaching into your pillowcase. But I just couldn’t quite bring the gore to life in two sentences Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I just couldn’t quite bring the gore to life in two sentences I've written a segment about my less than wholesome vision of tooth fairies in a fanfic once, it came to mind. I faced the same problem though- it's hard to capture the horror they could potentially be in just two sentences. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

leinwandname 139 Posted October 6 It made krch in my mouth as I bit into the well done meat and something pierced into my gums followed by the iron-like taste of my own blood. I sighed like the idiot I was for not properly removing the bones from the baby's arms... 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love that the second sentence turns the other entirely on its head. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SAO LILDOOP 592 Posted October 13 Funny grumbling noises were coming from just down the hall, mommy and daddy did it, they finally got me a puppy for my birthday! I wheeled around the corner eyes wide in amazement; mommy was drooling uncontrollably with eyes wide open as my daddies hands clenched her throat tightly. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The History Kid 662 Posted October 23 Y'all...these were mighty spoopy! Great job to all the contestants. I'll have an announcement of the winners probably this weekend. Rock on! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The History Kid 662 Posted October 30 Alright, folks. I appreciate your patience on this, it has been a crazy last week and a half or so. Well! We had quite the collection of stories here. If we were stacking things up in terms of points, there would have been a two-way tie for first and a two-way tie for third. But! That's not what we did this time around. We were looking for scariest (my pick), originality and creativity. And we had clear picks for each of those. See below: Rewards will be distributed by our very own Seshiface, who sadly did not make the cut this time. But, better luck as we look forward at new contests coming soon. Thank you to everyone who participated, it was a great show of creativity from all ten of you! Stay tuned for another contest from yours truly, sometime in the next few months. Ciao, y'all - and Washija! - Winner page: @Xyro, @Musuko, @Wedgy 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
