Super Short Contest #4: Fear Writing: September 27 - Sunday October 4 Voting: Sunday, October 4 - Saturday, October 10
Theme: "Fear" Themed Writing Competition Guidelines Event Details:Each participant needs to write a short story. At the end of the writing period, any member can vote for their favorite story. Make sure that when you post your stories on FF.net that you mention that the story was written for Poirot Cafe's competition to our readers! Let's have fun and advertise at the same time! Prize:A Custom Badge. Guidelines:1. 500-1,000 words only. 2. K-T ratings only. 3. No crossovers. 4. Must be new material, no re-posted stories. 5. Please be fair and courteous when voting and reviewing! I'm just worried that we're going to get a bunch of fics about ichthyophobia. (No, not you, Ichthy. ^.^) Let's try to think outside the box!

question, why do the themes lately all seem rather... dark and sad? You people enjoy angst too much XD (and I can´t write them... -.-)

[slams hands down, but not really because that would make too loud a noise] That just makes it an incentive to make it happy! Natsumi made that angsty drabble about marshmallows, time to turn the tide and write happy fics about fear! Onwards! Eulaliaaaaaa-!
[war trumpets sound]
[....but not really.]
ON A MORE SERIOUS NOTE: I'm writing a ShinRan.....huh. Not one of my top ships, but this is where I'm headed. Okay.

Darn, I missed it because I was away!!! I don't think I'll be able to do a decent one in only a day ^_^; You could probably make it a funny/happy little fix if you wrote about Kaito and his fear of fish (I am not going to try and spell that).

I think you could do it if you were in the right mood to write. From inception to completion, mine only took me about three or four hours, and most of that was refining it and taking out the extra words.

If it's just a few, don't worry about it. For these, 75-100 over is okay if the words are absolutely necessary to the fic. There's always a little bit of wiggle room, but if it's over 100, that's a little... :/ But being a little over is okay, so don't stress about it.
