I decided that mine's ♥♥♥♥ and would never win. I deleted it. I can't write. :3

So is this nearly done now? :3 I'm buzzing with excitement!!

And don't worry, I don't mind if I don't win this one, because I know I rushed my story a bit.

All I care about is a good rating. I'd tell MoD to hurry up but I don't want him to be mad while judging my story :X

Okay so I read through them all. Not about to give out full judgings but here we go.

Oranj- To be honest, yours was bad, but not the worst. I've already forgotten what it was about so yeah. xD That help?

Red- *bans*

StarK- It had a very good premise, but fell apart with writing that was much too expository and literally kept trying to talk us into the mood. You're supposed to submerge us within the story, not keep saying "Look at that? Did that scare you?" I felt like you were trying too hard and thus I didn't care.

Karyete- Sarcastic tone both makes the story enjoyable and utterly kills the mood.


3rd-MP3Amplifier- It had a nice spooky aura and the vocabulary and description is good, but what weighs this down is dialogue/narrative that doesn't distinguish itself from any other story. Also paced a bit too fast but overall it was a better read than most others.

2nd- KevinOC- It made no sense until the punchline but this was a well written horror story in general (although I can't say the flashback-type narrative worked that well for ya)

And 1st


1st-Yoshi Boo 118

To be honest you were the only real contender for first. While you fell prey to more than one corny line or moment, you brought forth a very spooky aura, surprising twists, disturbing images and a damn good interpretation of Bowser. The clincher ending line was nice albeit hardly original. I especially liked the touch of Peach's suicide and how little it effected Bowser. Overall, while not perfect, it was a good halloween story that I enjoyed reading. Therefore you win.



So yeah... that coulda gone better for all involved parties. Thanks for competing?

But seriously, I'm happy with the rating I got. Now I'll post it in teh stories forum :3

I'm proud I came third! It only took me an hour to write it ... I truly thought I was gonna do a lot worse.

Implying that any type of writing works well for me.
