Dark and Scary

I want chilling, thrilling, suspenseful, dark and scary, horror writes.

I want writes that grab from the first line, and leave me looking over my shoulder with my heart racing, at the end.

Do you think you can do that?

If your write is long, it better keep my interest.

If you rhyme, PLEASE make it flow well.

If in story form, please punctuate and capitalize correctly. (I am not judging by that, it just makes your write easier to read and follow)


If I don't think your post is appropriate, I will remove it, so label it correctly.

If I don't get any interest in the contest, I will close it. If you reserve a spot, PLEASE complete BEFORE the contest ends. If you don't reserve, then comment on contest to let me know you are interested and plan to enter. (also lets me know if you read this far, lol)

Please don't disappoint me! Life does that to me enough.  Cry

 

 

Most importantly, have fun walking on the darkside!
