Hi folks! I've had so much fun with past writing challenges I've taken part in, and I knew that I wanted to host one of my own once I hit 1k followers - and now we're here!! I am so, so grateful to each and every one of you. Entering this fandom, as well as the fanfic world in general, has been such a source of positivity and joy for me. I could get all sappy on you all, but just know that if we've ever had an interaction, or even if you're a silent follower whose handle I recognize as it comes across my notifications, I am incredibly appreciative of you.
Now for the challenge! I'm combining my two favorite things - PPCU & horror. If you don't typically write horror/dark themes, please do not be scared off! Horror is such a broad genre, and if any of the tropes below interest you, I'd love if you joined. The 'tropes' listed include various genres, character types, and themes/sub-genres.
How it works: Pick a PPCU character of your choosing from the list below, and then choose a horror trope from the corresponding list. I'm also happy to help - so if you're having trouble, or just want it to be fun and randomized, let me know and I can either choose the character for you, the trope, or both! Just send me an ask with your Pedro character and the horror trope you'd like (or ask me to choose for you). There can be repeats of characters, but not repeats of tropes. I will update the list as we go and add more tropes as needed!
I'm setting an initial deadline of September 15th - but please let me know if that does not seem feasible for you; I want everyone to be able to join who'd like to! Please tag me when you post your fic and use the hashtag #ppcuhorrorchallenge.

Hi! May I please write Joel Miller for Creepy Cemetery/Haunting? Also as it turns out I did NOT read this right i read it as you have to include every character for one of the tropes. Could I do that and it still count? If not I got this lol
hi friend!! yes absolutely. 🖤 looking forward to seeing what you came up with! haha you could for sure include more than one character if you wanted to
