The October challenge
« on: October 03, 2009, 06:21:36 PM »
We'll call this one living on the edge

Your mission for this month, is to create a story that ends with a cliffhanger.

~ Because it's October it should be a horror, suspense or mystery plotline.

~ Should be told in First person

~ There needs to be a twist somewhere in the story.

~ Story shouldn't exceed 5,000 (2,500 if you want me to read it lol)

~ Absolutely NO BANNERS for this story!

~ There should be no resolution laid out for the reader (Hence the cliffhanger)

Enjoy!

:)

I really should attempt this...hopeful ly I get something written. I wish my muse would stop hiding and come back to me  :'( and I just want to say i feel bad for not posting anything when I said I'm going to. :(

If there ever be a challenge where the requirement is you have to write something but don't finish it...i'll definitely have a lot to choose from, heh.

I really am going to try this month, I said that last month and then never got around to it, so this month I'm going to put more effort into it.  I like the idea of trying something different, I've not done horror before!

okay I finished my story but I've never done this before so what now? Do I just post it on AC and put up a link here or what.  :-[  Not sure what to do now. Sort of a newbie here.
