A Creative Writing Competition

^ Hey Batlord, that was a pretty great fan fiction! It had that creepy sort of Lovecraftian eeriness to it (with the townspeople worshiping the plants, and sensing a stronger presence at work). I guess in that sense, it also kinda reminded me of Children of the Corn.

So, if anyone is still interested, we could kick this thing off by creating a theme and then posting stories based off of it. If that's the case, then the only question left is... what should the first theme be?

Yeah, definitely. Any type of format is fine.

i try to write sometimes but i am not very creative tbh

i mostly just take real stories that either happened to me or are recycled from people i know/have known and then edit names and other **** and add a little structure to them to make them seem like works of fiction

or i make up details that aren't real but are a bit more interesting than the real stories and inject them in

so generally... i couldn't typically write about a theme on demand. but it depends on the theme. if it's a theme i have/could make material for then maybe i could contribute

Anyone still up for a go?

By the way, DwnWthVwls, I read that story you sent me ages ago, but I forgot to tell you what I thought of it. I wasn't a fan.

I wrote a story for one of my classes so I guess I'll double dip and participate.

Yeh it sucks balls, and if you never heard the album it sucks even bigger balls. I both hate and suck at writing and put minimal effort into it. The class was fun though.

Do you all think we should have a horror theme, since Halloween is right around the corner?

For people like Frown who might want to enter a story that they've already written, go for it. Even if it clashes with the theme, every story is welcome.

Also...

It didn't suck balls, it just wasn't my cup of tea. Keep on writing, you're not as bad at it as you think you are.

My story would fall under the category, but I'm not huge on the theme idea tbh.
