Welcome to the Supernatural Halfway to Halloween Challenge!!
We wanted to bring a little horror to springtime so this is a month-long horror writing challenge. Our goal is to inspire you. There are no formal rules to this challenge (except for being 18+), you can pick one prompt, or do all sixty. You can do them in order, or jump around. We’ve got a mix of genres, objects, and themes– it's up to you to make them creepy. You can write 100 words or 1,000,000 words. You can make art, or video edits, or any other kind of media you want!
Please note that this challenge is not ship specific, and all ships are welcome. You are also more than welcome to write stories that do not involve shipping!
We wanted to release the prompt list early enough to get everyone's creative juices flowing, but the AO3 collection won't be open until April!
In the meantime... JOIN OUR DISCORD!!
Check out the Halfway To Halloween Challenge community on Discord - hang out with 3 other members and enjoy free voice and text chat.
These prompts are starting points for you! Art, fanfic, multimedia, pen and paper, any medium or format you want to create in (as long as it's not AI). We will be re-posting and checking the Halfway to Halloween Challenge tag so you can put all your horribly lovely works on tumblr!
