The Official Authors' Hangout Halloween 2022 Contest Support Thread

Florida vacation, complete with sex-on-the-beach, jell-o shots, and raunchy encounters with other muses.

I found my muse waiting for me on Amelia Island. She knows I can't afford the Jell-O shots here, but I can get us on the State Park beaches for free and she digs that.

I posted one which would have been good for the contest, certainly not a winner, I have no delusions on that. I post it early having forgotten about the contest and the one I'm contemplating may be to long for me to finish time. I may try and do a flash story or a story under 5,000 words for the contest. Then again, I may dig in to the U-Files (unfinished) and see if I have a nice horror or Halloween themed one in there I can finish and post.

Speaking of Muses, KeithD, mine has her bags packed and is threating another Florida vacation, complete with sex-on-the-beach, jell-o shots, and raunchy encounters with other muses.

You have a fun muse,

Mine shrieks in my head demanding I write and even when I'm writing fun smut constantly shoves scenes and imagery of violent fight scenes and deaths into my head.

I named her Julie(seriously) and when she's not angry she just lurks and casts a shadow of despair over everything.

My muse has a first name, it's Nymph, she has a last name too, it's Terpsichore. Nymph Terpsichore is a name, which makes one a little testy. A natural beauty, who loves sex and dance, what a combination.

Halloween contest already? Where did the year go? I will, as always, submit a story maybe two - I managed two last year that I was pleased with - hopefully, inspiration will strike and not too close to the submission deadline!

Arrgh, my 7,000 word "quickie" finally ran into a proper closing at 30,000 words

Terpsichorean used to be a proper title of one who was able to perform a terpsichore

Is that a medieval musical instrument?

A Terpsichorean is a dancer. In Greek mythology Terpsichore is the muse of lyric poetry and dance

In Greek mythology she's a minor diety muse.

I've got to get a move on. I'm away on holiday next week and without internet access or a computer, so I have to finish an entry before I go.

 

[IndigoSpinoza]

Posting to set my intention to enter and have you guys as witnesses for accountability. Lol

 

[IndigoSpinoza]

Better shake a leg. I can't wait to see what you and others come up with!

I've got to get a move on. I'm away on holiday next week and without internet access or a computer, so I have to fish an entry before I go.

 

[MillieDynamite]

I have barely thought about a Halloween entry. I'm a bad girl!

 

[Duleigh]

#1 is done and #2 is... idling on the 'ready ramp' waiting for me to actuate the keyboard and bring it to life.

It will be a late entry, but I did get a poetry entry submitted! It should go up in a couple of days.

 

[Duleigh]

One More Week!

 

[Jackie.Hikaru]

Mine is going to be a late entry. 21k words so far and no end in sight

 

[Rustyoznail]

Oh, this is going so slow...

 

[Duleigh]

Mine is going to be a late entry. 21k words so far and no end in sight

I know your pain, when I hit 30K words I left a hook for a future story in the 2023 AI Era event.

 

[Lifestyle66]

Can we post the Amorous Goods story to this event, too if it's about witches and witchcraft?

 

[DarkRaven13]

I finished editing my entry .... and just submitted it!!!!

Sadly, I'm going to be away next week (starting tomorrow, and back on Oct 3rd...or 4th). So if it gets rejected I won't know until I return.

Thank you to everyone who has helped me.

 

[Rustyoznail]

Can we post the Amorous Goods story to this event, too if it's about witches and witchcraft?

Yes, definitely. AG is an event that could cover Halloween.

 

[Duleigh]

Mine is on both. No witches... well... one witch and a dragon.

I finally stopped my revisions and tweaking the story "Amorous Goods: The Anklet Pair" and clicked on "Publish" for the SciFi & Fantasy category with the tags for both events. I'll see if my dedicated LW trolls follow it there to 1-bomb.

I have 2 ideas and cant chose, can I submit more than one?

 

[Rustyoznail]

Yep, but times ticking away.

 

[MillieDynamite]

Yep, but times ticking away.

Stop reminding me. Sheesh, I researched my legend, myth, and superstition, and now I'm ready to write.
