Halloween writing contest
Posted: October 5th, 2013, 6:36:59 pm
Hello, fellow magi. Today, it falls to me to make a post in here; a rare honor to be sure. As you all probably know, the autumn festivities are coming up in just a few weeks, a time of costumes, sweet and scary things. At this time of the year, I take great pleasure in sitting at the fire with a good pipe and tell stories. So let us make this a small contest about who can tell the best story fitting the occasion. Write a story capturing the spirit of the season, be it autumn, treats, creatures or mystical terror.
As always things like these need to have rules, and we will detail those below. I hope you'll be participating in great number and that you will have fun writing for us.
These are the rules for this:
