Winners
Welcome to the Realm of Desires Halloween Writing Event!
As the nights grow longer and shadows creep across the land, we invite you to unleash your creativity and join us in celebrating the spookiest time of the year! Whether you prefer eerie tales of haunted spirits, thrilling adventures under the full moon, or even a sultry supernatural romance, this event is the perfect opportunity to explore the many facets of Halloween.
This year, we’re embracing both the eerie and the alluring, allowing stories of all genres—horror, suspense, mystery, romance, and yes, even erotica. Writers of all skill levels are welcome to participate, and we encourage both long-form and short-form storytelling to ensure everyone has the freedom to express their unique voice.
The event runs until October 30, 2024, so there's plenty of time to craft your best Halloween-inspired tale. Submissions will be judged on creativity, how well they reflect the Halloween spirit, and the effort put into them. And remember, this is a safe and inclusive space for everyone, so have fun and let your imagination run wild!
We can't wait to see the stories you conjure up!
