Community Project; Halloween Story Book

[Wwrites]

such kind words! thanks everyone. It\'s really wonderful to hear, especially after the year+ I\'ve had of not being able to find a design job.The newsletter WAS going to be a regular thing, but the organization (that my parents are a part of) had some confusion going on with their current communications coordinator, and I haven\'t heard anything from them since about doing another one for themSpaceMonkey, I would definitely be interested in hearing more about this novel of yours, especially since it\'s your first. While I caution against editing as you go (as do many writers, and editors, and published authors), I am totally down for swapping excerpts and giving feedback--I don\'t share my writing often enough, and I would love a fresh set of eyes.Very glad I joined this site! Y\'all are awesome.

I\'d love to see any stories submitted here and I would eagerly read them.

Both your submitted stories I greatly enjoyed! I\'m looking forward to seeing what others offer.

Does this have to be a scary story?  I am writing a first person narrative regarding the origins of Halloween from the point of view of Samhain, a personification of the Halloween God who is trapped in a scarecrow body with a carved out pumpkin for a head.  He is trapped in that body because that is what people today believe he looks like.  He is railing on about the sorry state of Modern Halloween.  He longs for the older days when people would leave food out for him and the other fairies, dress up in mummers garb and walk through the forest chanting poems and singing songs.  Now plotting revenge in  the form of fairypocalypse and anyways you see where this is going. The fairies ARE going to be quite monstrous but I think it\'s going to be more humorous than funny.

Horror covers a wide range of things, which includes comedy.

Provided it\'s eerie, dark, etc it will be fine /profile/9-spacemonkey/\" data-ipshover=\"\" data-ipshover-target=\"http://poetryartonline.com/profile/9-spacemonkey/?do=hovercard\" data-mentionid=\"9\">@SpaceMonkey. It doesn\'t have to be scary, scary or on par with Saw/Steven King. Not by any means, just themed on horror for Halloween.

Your idea sounds a very cool concept bud.
