As Halloween approaches, I feel myself getting into the spooky spirit! So, I present to you . . . Trick-or-Treat! A Hanfic Halloween Challenge. This is not your typical writing challenge though: - it's going to be a drabble/ficlet/short story activity to help get everyone out of their hiatus and bust that writers block! - ANY genre of fanfic is accepted (slash, gen, het, cest, etc.) - the overall theme is Halloween and horror! - every challenge will be based upon a classic scary movie such as Carrie, Friday the 13th, Halloween, and Poltergeist just to name a few! - the challenge itself will only last a month so it'll be short and sweet for those who are busy with real life priorities. - and I, personally, will post everyone's submissions onto the site for the world to enjoy! For more info . . . acinematicsunrise.com/halloween.html

Sorry it took me a day longer to put up the rest of the participants, BUT everything is now updated.
I have decided to extend the signup deadline until tomorrow night (10/05/09) since there are quite a few slots open. So, if you were even slightly interested you have a second chance to think it over and join us! Hehe! For the rest of you, let the writing begin!
Oh and if at any time you finish a drabble/story send it to hanfichalloween@hotmail.com[/u]. You do NOT have to wait until the deadline to send in your submissions. In fact, the earlier you send the more it will help me out. Thanks and I can't wait to read the Halloween fics!!!

Just a reminder, there are only a couple more days to finish writing! The sooner you send yours in the better, but if you're unable to finish the challenge let me know ASAP. I'm working on putting up the stories as we speak, but they probably won't be posted officially until Friday.

I have struckout the writing dates on the schedule, but anyone who needs more time you technically have until tomorrow (10/28 @ 1159pm EST) night to finish. I will try to get in touch with some of you, to make sure you're still going to submit your piece(s).
