It's time!!! For everyone that has been waiting, we've got 11 brand new stories for you to sink your teeth into. After you've read all the stories, make sure to vote for your favorite. The winners will be announced on October 31st, 2017. The top three stories will receive not only the recognition, but the following prizes:

 

1st Place

6 month Premium access

 

2nd Place

3 month Premium access

 

3rd Place

1 Month Premium access


Reminder

 

Authors and editing/beta teams are prohibited from revealing the author behind each story. Revealing the authors' identity will disqualify the story in question.

 

Voting Procedure

 

We are going with a blind vote for this contest. Neither the voter, nor the staff member collecting the votes will know which author wrote which story. All stories have been posted under the author name of Headless Horseman. The only site member/staff that knows the identity of each story's author is Renee Stevens. Reader1810 has willingly volunteered to collect votes. After you've read all 11 stories, PM the story name you'd like to vote for to Reader and use the subject Halloween Contest Vote.

 

Members get to vote for one story. Please wait to vote for your choice until you have read all the stories and are certain as to which story you'd like to vote for.

 

Voting will conclude at 2:00 PM EST on October 21st, 2017. No votes will be accepted after that time.

 

Now, onto the stories!

Me Three ! It's awesome. :yes: 

I managed to read three stories and had just written (but not submitted) a comment for the third, when they went POOF ! Spooky :ph34r: :lol: 

Now it's dark outside, so I'm a bit wary of going back to reading more scary stories. :unsure:  But I can at least redo the vanished comment. :) 

 

Yay, it was waiting for me in the editor. I LOVE that feature. :2thumbs:

From the pinned comment by Renee, there were some problems with the formatting when the stories were published first time round.

Yeah, I realized right after it happened, but it was a bit :huh: to get the message The content you're looking for isn't here. Sort of now you see it, now you don't. :lol:

You're not slow - there's quite a lot of stories and some of them are long.

Always feel like I'm behind. I did read and comment on all of them.

I’ll finally finish last 2 today. Then vote and go back and comment. I think there were 2 that were really long.

You weren’t the only one. Missed by 4 hrs when I voted. Too many dates to remember.
