This quest will be run by Rancid_Pickle. Submit any questions to me, don't bug other folks unless you like getting poked with horrible veggies.

REQUIREMENTS

We need a good bone chilling scary story. You can node an old chestnut or a brand-new tale of terror. Some things that should be included are:

  • A short story (duh!)
  • Must be written or noded between now and 1 November 2002 at 23:59 server time. Cletus the Foetus threatened to make ME the star of a horror story unless I extended it after Halloween. Yikes!
  • The story MUST have some supernatural, horror or gothic tone. If it makes me pee my pants, it counts. If it makes me pee on dem bones pants, you get extra points.
  • If the story is original, say so at the end.
  • Please note from whence the story came if it's not original. Watch copyright restrictions!
When your writeup is complete, just drop me a /msg and softlink it to this node. Every decent writeup will get a "blessing" by yours truly (which equates to ten XP), plus the possibility of getting upvoted AND chinged if it's worthy. There is a limit of ten blessings per noder, but you're more than welcome to add more than 10 writeups.

Now comes the nasty part. If you cut and paste, I will CURSE you, which is a -10xp hit. DO NOT CUT AND PASTE without the author's permission, which you should note. Make your writeup original work, or make sure it's not stolen from elsewhere. Only nodes added within the Quest time window will be eligible for goodies.

Exceptional works added during this quest may get more than one blessing (actually, up to +30xp for outstanding nodes).

Get to it!

Please save your votes for the upcoming author submissions. Thanks, now quit dawdlin' and git to writin'!
