The time is here to bring out the spookiness, fear, and horror of Halloween into writing! Come up with a story that deals with a character that is TG or became TG throughout its course of flow and fill it in with frightening stuff!
That simple! Any genre, any plot device, any time period.
The Contest will last a total of 3 weeks for submissions (October 1, 2011 - October 23, 2011). Any number of submissions can be entered but only the top voted on one of any author can be in the top 3 spots.
The voting will occur over a 1 week period day period by registered site users only and only 1 vote per person using only 1 of their registered site accounts. Multiple attempts to vote using additional accounts owned or created by that person will nullify their vote and have us pull out the paddle! I apologize in advance to all our authors for the shortness of the duration for submissions for this contest, but due to constraints for other things, it necessarily has to be so.
Erin will announce the voting link when she has it set up.
The 3 top stories will be awarded a prize designated as follows: 1st place - $75, 2nd place - $50, 3rd place - $25. The winners will need to pm Sephrena with their mailing address to mail the winners their money. All money prizes are awarded in US dollar value via money order mailed to the designated winners.
All prizes will be mailed the day after the winners announcement.

As most of you have probably noticed, I haven't sponsored any contests so far this year because I have had to save up for a medically necessary procedure for which I was unable to get treatment for in Virginia. Now that I have flown halfway around the world and gotten it taken care of, I can now get back to putting together an honest to goodness contest for us in October.
I know October has Halloween and all, but I want this year's contest to be on a different take. I'm still plying about for some ideas and if anyone has any, feel free to pm me them. ^^
examples:
Halloween Ball, Prom Dance, Office get-together ... these are some of the ones I had mulled upon.
Anyhow... pm me any ideas you have and I'll put the contest together with cash prizes again ^^
