An early happy All Saint's Day everyone. In World of Darkness no holiday seems to quite harness the energy and themes than good ol' Halloween.

Since we all can't get together and play dress up while bobbing for apples and partying the night away we here at the WoD:A studios find this most distressing, we were looking forward to seeing all of you drunk and on your baddest behavior.

So what'll we do instead?

Well, since we can not all dress up and be monsters, we're going to make them instead.

The contest is simple, make a monster. It may be a spirit, a whacked out werewolf, a vengeful demon, whatever you like. Pick something you like, because your going to write a fiction about it.

1. The creature must have stats. You do not have to post these publicly, but they must be submitted to the mods. Why? Simple, you may run into it one night.

2. You may create multiple mosters (like psychotic sisters, or brothers, or married couple) but they will be considered one submission. No bonus points for extra head counts.

3. It must be a monster. A Humanity 7 Ventrue with a bug up his ass isn't a 'monster' (this is not up for debate), but a Humanity 2 Deava with a dozen psychotic derangements is.

4. Enteries are due by October 31st. That's over a month people.

5. You may collaborate as a single joint entry. No more then two people may participate and if the 'monsters' team up, they better have a good reason, A Bale-Hound with a steak addiction is prolly not going to team up with a Mad Cow Spirit, but the crazy sisters in the above example... hmm...

6. Have fun. Seriously, there are no losers. Everyone who participates will win something.

Label the fic [WoD:A HC] for Halloween Contest.

So, how're those ghoulies coming along people?

Sorry Dave. I've been crazy busy this month.
