..... "Why is your dick so hard .... and leaking?!?!?" 
In case you didn’t see it:Ha! In the past, when the whim hit me, I'd imagine how I could secretly explore my occasional cd fantasies with my gf (who would NEVER suspect or understand!) by "suggesting" we both crossdress, her as a man, and me as a woman, for Halloween costumes. I'm certain she'd think it was funny and agree but she'd be shocked to see my anatomical reactions as I began to put on my "costume" .....
Duh, because hot women dressed in men's clothes if fucking sexy.. Yeah, that's it.Ha!

This will be my third time to enter this contest. I don't expect to win, but entering a contest usually ramps up viewership on all my stories, so I think it's worth the effort.
Way down, but not sure how much of that is due to the graveyard of Erotic Horror. I published my Halloween comp entry in the same category last year (how fucking stupid am I?) So far this year - with what is IMO a better story - I’m down on views (3,000 vs 5,000) and WAY down on rating. Like approaching my worst rating if you exclude LW and 750 word stories.
And it looks like it will go up Thursday, the 23rd! I'm DEAD last! Wooo! Spooky!
This has been the oddest contest ever. Stories published that don't make 'the List' (or are delayed.) The contest is not included on the main stories page while the summer contest is still there. Engagement, whether due to tech issues or just reader apathy, is subnormal. Mostly only tales in the two killer categories have high views.
It’s been a tragedy of errors
I didn't put mine there this year, mainly because there wasn't any horror. It hadn't originally dawned on me until this thread, that EH doesn't get a lot of readers, votes, or what have you. It was simply ghost isn't tantamount to horror. Casper and Samara don't move in the same circles. I've attempted to write one [survival] horror story with my other name, and one—I guess you could call it a psyhic thriller. It's not really in my wheelhouse.
I wasn’t here for last Halloween. But I had a Lesbian story in Summer Lovin’ and I have another Lesbian story in Halloween and the views / votes are pretty much the same (approx. 15k and 240).
For me, as a first time competitor, it's raised my Halloween story to my second most viewed story of all I have done (not that the numbers are huge, I know) so I think the visibility helps (as does the category). I expect it will reach most viewed story of all of mine by the end of the exposure period. While I will stroke my ego and say it's been the increase in my writing prowess, the exposure was hugely important for sure.
It certainly appears as though there are technical issues that are plaguing the board on a whole.It’s been a tragedy of errors
We don’t know
I am sure this is answered somewhere but are you producing this art on a daily basis either digitally or on paper? They have been a highlight each day.View attachment 2572536
Welcome to Day 20 of The Halloween 2025 Competition

Thank you
We have close to the same crappy engagement as each other.
on the flipside, wouldn't fewer events just mean every writer would go absolutely apeshit to participate in the few events that are held, leading to 20million entries all at once?
