Halloween 2015: Spooky Story Contest

[BDark]

I might actually do several short stories and pick one to submit, so having about two or three more weeks would certainly help.

but.. but.... im a storyteller, my spooky stories are elaborate, put you in the scene. guess I'll have to really try for under 1 000

 

[TheGodSnake]

Welian is aware of the issue and is working on the javascript as we speak. It should be back up, hopefully, tomorrow. In the meantime, no need to panic. (: Stories aren't due until the 31st.

 

[TheGodSnake]

yeah, ive got a couple stories from school stuff anyway, im not worried.

 

[cojemo]

Can't believe I didn't see this earlier. Seems like it could be fun to attempt. I've had an idea for something relatively spooky that I could use, probably ramp up the spooks a tad. Quick question, not sure if it's silly or not, but does it matter what tense we use?


Edit: Nevermind, just read the campfire and saw a variety of tenses.

 

[BDark]

So the thing is back up ?

Not yet. But don't worry, I'll have it up after class today.

 

[Sunbather]

I still gotta read all the other posted stories. But I don't wanna get all spooped out and stuff. ( O.o )

This thread is a discussion, but it's mostly to be used for answering questions directly related to the competition, so we want everything to stay on topic as much as possible. (: If you'd like to have a chat that's a bit more casual or fun, you are welcome to start a thread in the personal discussion as a sort of hangout, if you will.

It's done.

The submission form has been replaced, and works slightly differently from the previous one. Although it is not required, users who have already submitted their entries are encouraged to resubmit using the new form. Please be cautious when entering data into the new form, as you will not receive an error message if you have left a field empty.

 

[welian]

Looks like a few of you have already successfully uploaded your stories with the new system, excellent! Do let me know if there are any issues or questions, that's why I'm here.

 

[Sunbather]

I uploaded mine again. Figured I may as well take the chance to get some better formatting going on, heh.

Upload it one more time, just to be sure. I don't see it in my folder just yet, and I'd rather have duplicate entries than no entry at all.

Done.

 

[welian]

Done.

Excellent!

 

[SidheLives]

Oh this is exciting! I'll have to think of something spine tingling and deliciously macabre! I haven't written a scary story in a while!

 

[Vampiress]

I want to I really do but I don't know if I can write scary stories. I mean I write fanfics and original stories but I've never really written a scary story

Well, you will never know until you try it!

 

[welian]

There's no harm in trying. :]

 

[Vampiress]

True I suppose you are both quite right. I guess I'll give it a go!

I hope my story will be scary.

 

[Dagfinn]

I've never read a story that's scared me, I doubt if I can write anything that's scary


But damned if I don't at least try

That's the spirit!! If you need ideas, maybe you can look up some old episodes of Are You Afraid of the Dark.
