ooh i’d love to be a judge…MWAHAHAHA POWER …jkjkjk…but does that mean i can’t enter? that would be a minus…

and does it mean we have to count out 2,000 words? or do you mean exactly 2,000 characters?

please answer!!!

You’re a judge, Blue-eyed-wonder. I’m counting on ya!

oohhhhhh yayy!!!!
so can i still enter? im cool with either…jw if i should start thinkin up a good horror plot.

haha nvm…

You can still enter the competition, but you will be part of the judging. We’ll be a little harder on you, but you can handle it.

Ooo, can I be a judge?

this is pretty nifty. how many entries do we get?

Hey there, Brickwall – I’d like to see no more than two entries per ficleteer.

….and yes, Laine P. Grey, you can be a judge.

awesome.

…may i ask why like, every single entry is about vampires? can’t anybody think of anything scary besides vampires?

b/c vampires are totally cool! but i did zombies to placate you, blueyedwonder

Ooh, I want to play! Should my story be self-contained in one ficlet, or span several? If I use multiple ficlets to tell the story, will they be judged as a whole, or will only the “best” segment be considered?

yay! zombies!

uselessness: ask YodaOnCrack. i would like to know that too. but probably, if you can write more than one, it will be judged as a whole. just my guess.

Wow – just read through these first entries… I’m impressed with the creativity and there’s still over a month left b4 the deadline…

Can I enter one using my other name “Tales From the Script” are would that be cheating

Oh my other name is “Tiggerstripn2”

Tales from the Script – sure, you can enter another. I’d like to have no more than two entries per ficleteer. This is all in fun, anyway – sure there will be a winner, but it’s mainly aimed at encouraging people to have some fun and participate…

Dinosaurs, vampires, ghosts, zombies, , I gotta think of something diffrent to write about..

ooooooooooooooooo
[you have to say it like a ghost and it becomes scary]

im TOTALLY entering this one
bad thing is practically everything scares me so…i just hope my thriller ficlet can scare others lol

>.< i have the urge to write another one! I’m a thriller addict. But what happens when i write that one and it’s better than the one i wrote for this challenge!? ugh. then i’ll have one good story and one really good story and the really good story wont be recognized >.< ::::::sigh::::::

I’m HELPING !!! Yoda said I could =]

can write about werewolves?

gleeful dance

Wow I wouldn’t want to be a judge, most entries i’ve ever seen in a challenge!!

O.K., Kermitgorf, you can be a judge too, but I’m going to say “no” to any future judge requests. I believe I have 4 judges now – I’ll have to tally them up. Still loadz of time before the deadline – we could get a lot more entries…

Haha, pretty sure he said he doesn’t want to be one… :-P

cripes, there are 28 entries… and all of them so good! i can feel my confidence draining…

I figure it’s about time for me to enter. I’ll work on one right now! Great challenge idea, by the way. And many great entries

I just have a question that I’ve looked over and am surprised that no one has asked yet: do you continue it to 2000 characters only if you win, or simply to enter?

Officially – I won’t continue the 2,000 words of the winning ficlet / podcast, but I may contribute… Hope that answers your question.

Hey Yoda, just saying I would love to be a judge.

It’s October 4th – wonder how many more entries we’ll get? Samantha, as I mentioned in my note to you, you can be a judge. As a jedi master, one skill I’ve developed during my 900 years in the universe is bringing order to chaos. As the deadline approaches, I’ll make announcements about how the judging will work, etc. Glad to see the interest here – I’m hoping to recognize more than just the top single entry. Stay tuned & read my blog for more info. – Yodel, oops, I mean Yoda. : )

My friend Distant Rose has entered your contest. She probably neglected to mention it. Her Story is Shadows in the Night part 1.

BTW I entered too. My story is called
The Shadow Wraith

Look Here for it…

Yes, two entries allowed per ficleteer. Now get to work!

Yes, two entries allowed per ficleteer. Now get to work!

I must say, I’m impressed by the number of people that have entered. Good challenge idea, YodaOnCrack. You should win a prize…and do this every year.

This was a fun challenge. There are a lot of great entries here. The judges will have their work cut out for them. :-)

What a challenge!! I have not read them all but there are some great ones here. Gave it a shot and posted two. How are you going to judge em all? Need help?

Cainegreene – you can help judge too – I’ll be in touch at the end of this, having made a note you are interested. I like your two entries, btw – nicely done!

Huh, everyone else is commenting? I want to comment too, but I don’t want to judge. I have to work very hard on not being judgmental. And ha, and phooey, I didn’t even use a monster in my entry, much less a vampire.

WWHHHOOOOOOO IT ENDS TOMORROW !!! OOOOHHH IM SSSOOO EXCITED !!!!

Yes, the challenge ends tomorrow, artistsrunwild. I plan to post an update on the judging, etc. on Halloween. Maybe even a little surprise….. We’ll see if I have time for that – shhh, it’s a secret…. : )

More info. on the judging later tonight.

Hurrah! I’m SO excited!

holy crappers (toilets)! that’s alot of entries! sadly i’m not one of them! i’ve had very little time to do such fun things but i will atleast try to read them all eventually!

Have the winners been announced?
