Welcome to the first annual Holloween Extravaganza. I will be your host for this spooktackular event. It is my hopes to get everyone on AP or just about to enter this contest. The prizes are big, the more points I earn the more I will add to the contest until the end date which will be October 31st. All Donations will be noted on the contest page. Now on to what I am looking for in this contest.
***UPDATE 9-22 2:48pm EST: I withhold commenting on all entries until the end of the contest, but I do view every entry to make sure it is in compliance with the rules 
****Update 9-23 2:04am EST: In addition to the great fun this contest will be and the awesome point prizes everyone who enters this contest will get this award
*****UPDATE 9-25 9:20PM EST: Kevin has generously donated a months gold for the first place winner. As Emeril says we gonna kick it up a notch!!!
I am looking for Halloween, Scary stories, funny stories, cute stories, anything and everything Halloween. There are no limits as long as it has to do with Halloween. For those of you that like to make backgrounds I am opening this up to you too. So bring me your Halloween poems, stories, backgrounds, tags, anything Halloween.
Rules: (yes there are some)
Because I am opening this up to unlimited entries there is a very specific line count that cannot be gone over. 30 lines or less, 30 lines is your maximum that you poem can be anything more and you will be DQ'ed sorry Even if you see a poem entered into the contest that is more than 30 lines it does not mean that I have changed my mind, it only means I am giving them time to shorten it. All poems that exceed the line limit will be given an opportunity to shorten them.
NO Chat speak, I cannot stress this enough, no chat speak, I feel it ruins a poem
No sticky caps (can't stand those and really why?)
This contest is open to all ages, so please, keep it nice, no adult content or erotica content. No swearing. I will be checking and this is a deal breaker
Most important have FUN!!!!!!!
Please remember to check back often as there may be changes or additions to the rules or criteria of the contest. I wouldn't want you to loose out for not following some rule
