The 'Creepy Campfire Stories' Contest is Open !!

[Sol]

Hello Everyone !!


Rogue-Nation's new Writers Contest is now Open !!!


The Theme :








The Rules :

• The Contest is open to everyone; members, staff and admins.
  
  Only one entry per participant; so make it count !
  
  Entries may not be longer than two (2) posts long.
  
  Pictures are allowed as long as they contribute to the story.
  
  No videos allowed. See the guidelines as to why; hint...it's close to midnight and we're in the woods for God sakes...
  
  

The Guidelines :


You, the writer, are the narrator. We, the readers, are all sitting with you around a campfire. It's close to midnight and the darkness of the night has really set in...and aside from the campfire giving all of us a shadowy glimpse of each other, it's pitch black out there. Our chatter is interrupted at times by those creepy sounds coming from the woods...


So you have to write your story as if you are talking to us, telling us a creepy story that'll make our blood freeze...


Your story may be about ghosts, ghouls, vampires, zombies, aliens, tragedies, a paranormal experience gone wrong or any other crazy creepy stuff your imagination can muster...

• Your story MUST be an original. NOT a story you've written before, copied and pasted, thinking that it applies here. Points will be awarded for Originality.
  
  
  Your story MUST be creepy. That's the whole purpose of this contest. It should give us goosebumps if we were to read it around a real campfire; in the woods, close to midnight. Keep it clean however; it may be graphic but keep it within reason. Points will be awarded for Creepiness.
  
  
  You MUST start with the suffix [HAL2016] before your title.
  
  
  You MUST write 'The End' at the end of your story (be it one or two posts when you're done) so that we know your story has ended its course.
  
  The Contest will last three (3) weeks and will end Tuesday, November 1st, 2016.
  
  

The Judges :


OmegaLogos has volunteered to monitor and moderate the event; we joyfully agreed. Curse words are allowed within your story as long as they have a good reason to be. As mentioned, your entry will be judged on Originality and Creepiness AND a Voting Poll will also be up to gather points. One vote = One point.


There will be a panel of three (3) judges.


IMPORTANT :


For the very first time since we've had writers contests, there will only be ONE winner. The story with the most points (awarded for Originality and Creepiness; which will be given from a scale of 1 to 10... ( 1 for absolutely disastrous to 10 for Absolutely awesome ) / and the Voting Poll) will merit its rightful author one of our very own Rogue-Nation gears !!!


If two (2) or three (3) stories end up in a tie, the contest will be prolonged and those participants in a tie will have to submit a second story for judging. If a tie occurs once again...ALL of those in a tie will win.




The Prize :


As mentioned, Rogue-Nation gears. Meaning a Rogue-Nation T-Shirt for him or her, or a Rogue-Nation Tank-Top for her, or a Rogue-Nation Coffee Mug...which will be sent right to your door !!!!


Our good friend and Moderator DuckforcoveR has been able to obtain our very own coffee mugs and pictures will follow.



Now how COOL is that ?!?!?!?



Oh man...THIS gives me the creeps... <--- that's the type of story we are wishing for...



GOOD LUCK !!!


Sol for the Admins.
