New Story Incoming · 10:11pm Mar 2nd, 2016
Surprise, everyone!
I've been quiet this month because I was working on a new story: an entry for Scribblefest 2016. If you liked my early horror one-shots, then this one is definitely for you.
This will also be my first submission in the era of auto-approval, so it should appear within the hour. (EDIT: Wow, that was fast.) Now we'll see if I'm as good at dotting T's and crossing I's as I think I am (Leviathan was originally rejected because I forgot to switch the rating to "Teen"). We'll also see if the contest judges find its scariness in violation of their PG guideline. The reason I enter so few contests, is that GaryOak takes one look at my story concepts and rightly says, "That's too dark." This time, I think I've just avoided crossing over the line.
In any case, I hope you like it!
Cheers,
HV
Read the description, saw the tags, said, "Oh shit, that sounds great." :D

You shouldn't say things like that. Now I'll be waiting for a review with abated breath, though I know your backlog is huge.

Yeah, don't hold your breath. :B
There's no such thing.

I know, right? But contest judges don't see things the same way, at least when deciding what to put in convention booklets.

Wait, convention convention? And now I just clicked on the link above and see the contest has only three days left. Why do I always find out about the fun stuff when it's too late to do anything about it?

Don't feel bad; that usually happens to me too. The only other time I managed to enter a contest was with the original "Most Dangerous Game" a couple of years ago.
