User blog:Gocubs711/Story Writer's Contest

Hey guys, so a few of us were in chat talking about story-writing, and the topic came up about writing an interesting plot for a story. (I'll say what it is in a bit). Then, I thought it would be a good idea to turn it into a bit of a Short-Story contest, since so many of us here are talented writers and it could help us develop our writing skills. Perhaps we could turn this into a series of contests, each person who hosts it can come up with a different genre.

Here is the challenge:

'''Write a Horror/Haunting Short Story that takes the point of view of the Ghosts, their actions and thoughts while haunting someone/a group of people. You can make it as bloody/gorey as you please, but please make note if you feel it might disturb/upset people. Make sure it is between 1500 and 5000 words.'''

Zain and I will be the judges for this round. We'll judge on the following criteria:

Plot (15 points)

Characters (20 points)

Creativity and Originality (10 points)

Guidelines (5 points)

We'll add our scores together in the end. Best score out of 100 wins and gets the right to host the next one (or give it to someone else)

Happy Writing!
