I know GA has not done anything yet official for Halloween, but do any writers want to try writing a horror story and set it to show on Oct 31st?

It's not my forte, but I'd love to try and have some fun with writing a spooky story. and it'd be great to share this with others

To make it more interesting than a random horror story, what if each writer can only use one Horror plot theme and no other author can use the same.

I don't anticipate this to be a huge thing and maybe no one wants to try it, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

Here's 7 Horror Plot Themes, I will pick the last one available, if there's more interest than I thought I'll add a couple more plot themes::

1. Curse- thebrinkoftime

2. Ghost- Thorn Wilde

3. Mad Scientist- Scotty94

4. Vampire- aditus

5. Slasher- joann414

6. Cemetery- Rustie

7. Zombie

8. Demon- Sasha (The pup )

9. Werewolves

I was thinking we could tag our stories with "Horror Themes 2013"

This is not a GA event, it is completely volunteer.

Some details:

No Limits on Word counts, No limits on format, and no limits on technique.....

Horror fiction began as experimental, unstructured, and range from poetry to epic novels. Mary Shelley's classic Frankenstein was created over a fireplace as part of a ghost story contest among writers of the day.

I want to channel the spirits of Mary and Percey Shelley, Lord Byron, and John Polidori (The creator of Modern Vampire Fiction ), let's try to be creative with genres and break ground beyond what exists in current fiction.

Deadline: Oct 31st, Closing this on September 30th, so topics are set in stone

No editor necessary, but you can have one if you want

Post to GA Stories with Tag "Horror Themes 2013"

Limiting the subject to one Theme plot per author is different than how GA does Anthologies, I will add a new theme if it does not overlap with another or is a subset of another: i.e. Dracula is Vampire based, which aditus has claimed. However, if you want to do Werewolves, which is not on my list yet, it can be added.

I cam up with a small list to start as I did not expect many people to jump on this.
