Ah, I thought can keep posting entries until 23rd?

Yeah, I’m quite sure you can. In fact, I’m betting on it. Mine isn’t quite done yet.

Correct. The 23rd is the last day you can submit a story for inclusion into the comp.

The initial list goes up probably around 10am US EDT, which is midnight for me so it might have to wait a few hours unless someone does it for me.

Did we determine whether Amourous Goods was running concurrently this year? I just got an idea.

It's listed as a challenge, but apart from that, nothing.

Thanks. It would a long shot to finish a new story by Halloween anyway.

I'm excited. I wrote one that fits Halloween as a prompt for a friend with writer's block a couple of years ago, and I re-read it a few times the last day or two...I think it's okay. I don't LOVE the ending, but it's abrupt for a reason. Hopefully I can finish some of the others I started sooner rather than later, too.

I've finally finished my first draft, only I'm not sure how successfully I've hit the 'stands on it's own as a story' as it is a sequel. it probably needs someone who hasn't read the first work to cast their eye over it; Anyone know if that is something I can ask for in the editor's forum, or is there somewhere else more appropriate to ask for that?

 

[Bazzle]

Unfortunately will not be participating this year.
Maybe next year!

Working on an idea that has a Halloween theme, but pondering whether I need to crowbar some jack-o’-lanterns and random supernatural twists lol

Flick me a PM @Katie_Mae. I'm grinding through my winter story, and could do with a change of scenery.

Here's a list based on the story tag "HALLOWEEN 2024." HALLOWEEN 2024 As of right now, I'm a shoe-in for the top ten at least!

 

[ChasBozwell30]

Just finished a first draft, surprised by how long this story ended up being. Sometimes the story just takes over..!

Now, it shows 18 entries. My hopes of making it into the top ten have been dashed.

Yep. I forgot the damn tag again, clearly. And it's got that problem where the last page has just a single line. Ah, well.

Mine's got unexpected legs. Interesting; I'm NEVER correct in terms of what I think will do well and what won't. LOL!

Good luck to all!

Edit, repost, add the note.

Yeah, maybe. I might not care enough.

From the looks of things, I'm in good company.

 

[MyBareTorso]

Good luck, and I hope it does better than the Swans.

Please don't mention the Swans...

I'm deep into my story for Amorous Goods...will just post it regardless of whether or not the challenge is actually running. It's been fun writing it...a bit different for me...but not *that* different...

 

[MelissaBaby]

If it was labelled "Ch. 69", then it will have been kicked as ineligible.

Sorry about that.

The rules were that you guys weren’t going to fact check

 

[OtterlyMindblowing]

Difficult one this time. The story I'm submitting could be argued to fit in NonHuman, Toys, Trans, Fantasy... ended up going NH due to contest theme. Look for Going Batty to go up

 

[SamBomb]

Last week I had two chapters left for my Halloween contest and decided to punt on it for next year. No way I could finish.

So, I started a new non contest story and I'm already 9 thousand words in and it's really good.

Writing is weird.

 

[Actingup]

Same, 02 Oct.

I'm very curious how it'll be received. It's a story I've got misgivings about, though they're hard to quantify.

I’ve just read and commented, but to expand a bit more… I think it’s great but without Paula’s obvious consent to the shenanigans, the main characters present as really awful people, so that aspect was a struggle because I kept looking for the come-uppance. Perhaps if in a sequel Paula manages to send them all (or just her husband) down a literal chasm in some way, that will resolve itself…

Mine is up: The Leopard-Print Leotard in I/T. Nurse helps her brother out on Halloween.
