/wg/'s Fall / Halloween 2024 Contest!

Falling leaves, scary stories, and the cool breeze of autumn, fall has something for everyone! This is a writing contest for anything fall and Halloween related, whether it's a tale of being haunted by a spooky spirit or a fic about enjoying a cool October evening watching the leaves change colors!

There will be four main categories for submission:

SFW NSFW
I. Short Works (~1k to 4.5k words) III. Short Works (~1k to 4.5k words)
II. Long works (5k+ words) IV. Long works (5k+ words)

Along with two bonus accolades that a fic in ANY of the main four categories can be awarded:

Autumn Leaves Award:

The fic that you think best captures the feel and spirit of fall and/or Halloween.

La Creatividad Award:

The most unusual/unique for /wg/ fic.

All entries must be submitted by the 27th of October, and voting will start on the 1st of November.

Please tag your entries with "Fall2024" and the appropriate category (Short/SFW, Long/NSFW, ect).
I'll update this page with a link to every entry, so if you don't see your fic here wait a little while and post it in the thread again, I may have missed it.

Good luck!

What if I write a fic with 4,000 words?

I'll flip a coin to decide if it goes in the "Short" or "Long" category

I've never written anything before, can I still submit something?

Yes, all writers, new or experienced, are more than welcome!
