Did we scare you? It’s spooky season in Derry and our boys, that Sputnik and his boyfriend Kolibri, are looking for some quality, creepy, terrifying and downright frightening mayhem! That’s right, good folks of the Storis world, it’s time for the...
This challenge, however scary, is actually quite funny! With the help of some trusty, ominous quotes, you’ll be asked to write a fic for our favorite pair of UFOs on the theme of Halloween and/or all the horror you can imagine!
- Your fic must be 500 words minimum. You can go over that number, even far far over if you’ve got the ideas, but 500 is already a damn good start!
- Your fic must contain a quote chosen between the few you can find here. You can slightly alter it if need be, but do try to keep the essence of it!
- Your fic can either tell the story of a young Stan and Boris or of the two adults they will become. - Your fic must be posted on AO3 (tagging us four on your work) or tagged StorisSpookyChallenge on tumblr. It is also welcome to send a DM to one of the mods to tell us about the arrival of your ghostly baby.
- Your fic will not be read if it is tagged as follows: Rape Non/Con and/or Underage. It is a personal choice and we would appreciate very much if your work didn’t contain such elements.
- Your fic must be posted (and we should be alerted of its existence) before Friday 1st of November.
