Scary Challenge 12 Years, 7 Months ago Karma: 14
While I write scary stories I don't tend to see too many of them and very, very few actually scare me. I don't normally read a lot of them but I wouldn't mind reading a few really juicy ones. So! I propose a challenge!

Scare Zandrellia Challenge!

You have a little more than 60 days to complete this challenge. All stories must be completed, posted, and linked here (with rating!) by October 31st, 2011! That's right, Halloween!

Rules!
  1. It must be a story involving Kagome and Sesshomaru. They do not have to be romantically involved. I am okay with crossovers.

  2. It must be at least categorized as dark fic, if not outright horror.

  3. I don't care if it is drabbles, a one shot, or a chaptered story... so long as it is done on time!

  4. Please beta your work. Pretty please, with cherries on top?

  5. New or old works are acceptable but I would love you to pieces if you wrote something new.

  6. Anything goes. Citrus is allowed, all other genre and ratings are welcome. Be creative!



Karma!
  • +1 for being the first to participate!

  • +1 for being the first to write something new for the challenge!

  • +2 for writing anything beyond a basic dark fic (horror, thriller, slasher, etc.)

  • +3 for scaring me


Depending on participation I will try to see about getting a banner made.

LOL @ Freya! Well said!! XDD

I don't know if this qualifies, but I wrote a one-shot for Kai's 100 Ghost Story Challenge last year. You are more than welcome to give it a try. It most likely won't scare you, despite the reviews I got on here and FF.net saying I scared the pants off of my readers. LOL.

Isolation
Sesshoumaru leaves Kagome to look for help on a deserted road, but when he comes back, it wasn't quite in the way she had been expecting. [Horror] Response to Kai's 100 Ghost Story Challenge.

What a lovely story, Theia. It was quite pretty. I particularly loved the way you depicted the heavy sense of isolation, of being out in the middle of nowhere with no one to find you. That was quite fun!

+1 for being the first to participate! A worthy attempt!

It's not that I don't want to try- it's that I'm not sure it's possible. Based on one of our via-forum conversations, I'm feeling like you're about as easy to 'scare' as I am- which is pretty much 'not at all' . . . (barring that split second you're sure you're about to plummet down a flight of stairs or something like that, lol).

Oh it's possible. I wouldn't have thrown out the challenge if it wasn't. XD

Would you like a hint or a prompt?

I had an inkling of something today, but I'm not sure whether or not it will suffice, so yeah. I might like what you spark better, or be able to put it together with what was starting to form for this.

Thank you, Zan! I figured it wouldn't scare you, but it might have been a good read, nonetheless. lol. I'm glad you enjoyed it and thanks for reviewing it as well! I love a good horror story, as you might recall since I believe we had a good, long conversation about it in chat one day, but writing a long, detailed one... I'm afraid that might not be my forte. lol. We'll see though! Maybe your challenge will change my mind. XP

Dumb question- it is acceptable to enter lemon-laced submissions for this, yes?

Side note: Although I'm not considering this submission of an older work (even though you said you would allow it, I just prefer that if I'm entering a challenge I give it its own fic), I thought you might enjoy my current 'main' story. Sure, I'd intended to make some parts creepy, didn't think I'd succeeded, only to be told by readers how much they loved me frightening them, lol. That being said, I don't expect the same reaction from you(like I said, you're about as easy to frighten as I am, lol) but you still might find it an enjoyable read.

Stealing Heaven
Higurashi Kagome thinks it a dream come true when she gets an internship on an archeological dig, but finds that her life is in another's hands after her professor, Taisho Sesshomaru, becomes possessed by an entity that considers his prize pupil quite the delicacy. *1st Place Best Darkfic/Horror, 1st Place Best Lemonfic, 2nd Place Best AU/AR, Nominated Best Drama~ 4th Qtr, 2010* *1st Place Best AU/AR, Nominated Best Drama~ 1st Qtr, 2011* *1st Place Best Lemon~ 2nd Qtr, 2011*

ADMINISTRATIVE EDIT: Story Rated MA, no YIMz please

Whoops, so sorry Mikki I kept reminding myself to list the rating and still went blonde about it and forgot.

Lol- A) thank you for the continued love and support, B ) . . . I said I don't consider it 'scary'. I'd say it's more . . . spooky. . . at points. OMG, but I did adore reading comments from the people who'd read certain chapters in the middle of the night and said I had them jumping at little noises and looking over their shoulders

@ zandrellia- I do hope you're kidding about the head trauma o.O

Zan!! Psst, Zan . . . . I have what may be a dumb question . . . well, another dumb question (blame the blonde hair, I do XD).

In regards to entering chapter stories: I know in most challenges it's customary to post the story link in the thread when the first chapter's up, but seeing as it's in the challenge to have the fic posted and completed by the challenge deadline, is it still alright to post the link for the first chapter before the rest of the fic is ready for posting?

(still reading your fic, btw...)

Okay, cool, 'cause I've started the first chapter and have the storyline worked out (should be a handful of chapters in length, no more than that).

Mmm, yeah, sorry 'bout that, I kinda forget how long Stealing Heaven is so far when I suggest it to people *sweatdrop*

I had seriously hoped you were joking about the head trauma . Concussions are not fun, I'm glad you're starting to feel better.

The Sacrifice
Kagome begins to suspect that what lies beneath the ancient custom her family has carried into the modern era may be more than just superstitious tradition. Rated MA

Oh this is quite good!

+1 for writing something new for the challenge and +2 for the thriller/mystery factor of the story! (will be given when the system allows!)

We'll see how it goes on scaring me.

For my horrible, horrible memory:
+3 given +0 still owed.

Lol. As I've stated, twice now, I'm not sure that's possible- or if it is, I'm not sure I can pull it off, but I can at least try to give you an entertaining story.

Ugh, I've been all torn-up trying to write something for this that I've been contemplating reading through all the rest of the entries to sort out what HASN'T scared you. I'm easily scared, though writing doesn't usually do it - have to have a visual aid, myself.

I might be writing something for you soon. (As soon as I think of something scary!)
