Support the AH Halloween Contestants Thread

Mine is doing pretty badly, a serious last place contended. High voting average, my second highest Lit, but only 16 votes. It's Erotic Horror.

I should have known, my last Lit story also EH has only 6 votes but a perfect score, quiet so's the trolls don't hear.

Feedback? The usual proposals from CV, very little otherwise. Apart from some useful comments from Black Tulip.
 
One of the reasons I didn't rush my entry, is because it's an erotic horror, and I know that category is hardly read compared to others.

If I did enter it this late, I'd put it in science fiction or something, because you get the reads and the votes in there.
 
I didn't write a contest entry - I really hate Halloween, many awful things have seemed to happen in my life around that date - but I read Lucifer Carroll's Death of the Party and it was really great. Gave it 5 and a PC!
 
I've posted a second.

Trashy group sex story written in less than 2 hours, submitted six hours ago and already posted.

It already has more votes than my erotic horror submission, though a lower average which is quite fair as it does read like it was written by someone off their head.

Maybe I should just stick to pulp fiction.
 
My two are up in less than a day from submission.

'Morose Monk' is a good contender for last place. It has 7 votes and is rated 2.27.

Will add links to both in my sig line.

Now to read the others. I've been ignoring them until mine were posted. I didn't want to be depressed by the high quality of everyone else's.

mine is at last submitted. now off to read more entries.

Yeah, it seemed like a genre thing, but I just wanted to check.

LC,

I read your story and voted for it. I liked it very much, but for a rather weird reason.

It reminded me strongly of a poem I had to learn by heart once, as I was not exactly a model student.

I searched a bit and translated the poem for you. I did not make it into an English poem, merely made sure you could understand the sentiment.

Life is full of surprises!

:D
 
Third one submitted.

'Sister Nun' is unwitting non-consensual incest.

Should get more attention.

'Morose Monk' is still well under 3.00. Last place here I come!

"Women in White" has an adverse comment as well. Two contenders for bottom place?

Oh well. Perhaps I should write a fourth? I don't think so. I need to plot for NaNoWriMo and that isn't going too well.

Better luck to everyone else's Halloween entries.

Christmas is coming. How can I improve on 'Socks for Christmas'? That was well received. Back orders might be delivered by Christmas '05. (2105 that is)

I've both read and enjoyed the english version of that poem/story. It never fails to make me laugh whenever I see it.

In truth, death is always interesting in how he's presented in stories. Terry Pratchett's Death is phenomenal especially in "Reaper Man" and Neil Gaiman's friendly yet dutiful female Death in the "Sandman" series is equally poignant for completely different reasons.

And there was a great story a while ago, don't remember the title, but it was turned into a Twilight Zone episode where a travelling salesman keeps Death on a salespitch until it is too late for him to take a sick child and he is forced to take the salesman instead. Very sweet and dark tale.
 
Wow. My entry Bonking for Britain has had 8 votes removed and the average improved by one whole point. Presumably some multiple voted several times. Cant understand why someone bombs humour, all the PC's say they laughed their head off. :confused:
 
Happy Fucking Halloween is doing nice and mediocre ( 4.13 after 15 votes), which is fine since I entered just to expand my audience, but a bit surprising since last year's entry is one of my highest rated.
 
Also ran - Og

My three stories seem to be stuck between 'not good enough' for contention for 1st and 'too good' for last.

Current ratings:

Morose Monk 3.71 Votes 14 Comments None
Sister Nun 4.04 Votes 45 Comments 2 (Incest gets votes but the audience is very demanding!)
Women in White 4.18 Votes 17 Comments 3

If my flaky dial up holds together I'm off to read everyone else's.

I started reading the stories, it's been slow going because of real life but I will get to them all. The few I have read have been very good.
 
Cookie! your AV, I have that poster (and the movie). Good to see you, Perdita :)
 
Cookie's AV reminds me how I felt the first time I met my future mother-in-law. :)

I have made my contribution to the contest, such as it may be. I had to redo it after my computer crashed last week so I hope it does ok with submitting so late.

now that the writing is over I can get to reading all of your wonderful work. I started on DR.M's but haven't finished. I like what I've read so far:D


This may have been asked already, as I didn't read all of the post here, but how long has it been taking for contest entries to post?


I ask because my last few stories have taken over a week.

No doubt I would have been, ET.

Wicked-N-Erotic,

The stories have been going up very quickly. Usually a matter of hours. When Laurel sees "Halloween Contest Entry" in the remarks field, she apparently gives it priority.

Rumple Foreskin :cool:
 
Okay, my Halloween Contest entry has finally, finally been submitted.

Possession is my first attempt at an Erotic Horror story.

Please be kind.

Omg...I changed it quickly, didn't want to bring back memories.

My story is almost finished, it's erotic horror like cloudy's. Like her it's my first attempt at that genre. We shall see...
