    October CSR Feature: Aditus' Halloween Horror Themes 2013: From the Ashes Spring new Life

    By Cia

    Well, October has hit... and it's in the 70s and 80s here. Like, what a switcheroo. Where's my cool and rainy fall? Boo! Just like the character in this short story by Aditus was expecting one thing and got another in this horror-themed short, perfect for this month! It's an older story, so many of the members on this site may not have read it. I've been here for 17 years now, apparently, so I remember when this was posted and popular.

Weekly Wrap Up (Sept. 14 - Sept. 20)

Happy Fall, or Spring depending on your hemisphere  Not sure about you, but we are sitting about 6-10 degrees Celsius above our normal temperatures.  Now before you all say it is all the hot air coming from me, we can test that theory. I left for Vancouver on Saturday morning. Thank you Cia for putting in the stories this week and doing the wrap up next week  . So we will see if Calgary cools off, and Vancouver heats up.

Prompt Rewind

Today's prompt blog is going to be a little bit different.  Five years ago, @wildone featured some guest prompts after our prompt guru Comicfan sadly passed away.  One of these prompts was recently resurrected, with several authors taking up the challenge.  This is one of my favorite technical prompts, as it gets authors to consider their words carefully and approach first person POV in a different way.  So please check out the prompt and responses and give it a go yourself.  Be sure to post you

Two Weeks!

There are just two weeks left to get stories sent to me for the Proof Team to review.  From the selection I've read so far, this is going to be a great anthology! The Proof Team has been hard at work, but we're always eager for more, so keep sending me your creatures to feature!   Hmmm... maybe something a bit scarier? Nah... scarier.  That'll do

How about some another feature of an older story by a popular site author for our readers who might have missed it?

Length: 1,263 Description:  Two fearful boys meet an outstanding dog. Dedicated to all the dogs out there who are sometimes smarter than their boys.

I really need to start using my calendar and putting in reminders to do the Weekly Wrap Up  Either that or retire and go to one of the homes that someone keeps pressuring me to go to   My apologies for being late again.  Let's get this done!!

It’s that time where we stumble over pumpkins everywhere: on the internet, in the grocery shop, and on our neighbor’s giant inflatable witch. Let’s start early with writing about creepy creatures this year.   PT Prompt #305:   Interview with a Vampire? Boring; read the book, wore the t-shirt, watched the movies plus sequels. Yawn. You’re working for a blog, and your boss has the brilliant idea to interview a ghost. She sends you to an allegedly haunted house where y
