xxdarknessxfallsxx's Halloween/Samhain Vampire Contest!

Yes, Halloween and Samhain, (Just for my pagan friends out there. You know who you are! -kisses- Much love for all religious celebrations, everyone).

This contest was inspired by Dr. Shibui's story, "I, Dracula" in the M section. That person wrote their story for the tradition of Halloween, I said, "Finally!" And here I thought the Halloween tradition of dressing up, carving mercilessly into pumpkins, trick-or-treating and pranking was lost!

Prompt: Write a story, including at least one vampire, that is October 31st related.

Requirements:

1) Your story must include at least one vampire.
This vampire may be original (made up purely from your mind) or fictional (from a book or another fanfiction story). This includes the Twilight saga characters! If the character is not yours, please please please give credit to the correct author; disclaimer stuff.
2) The story must be related to the idea/ritual/celebration/tradition of October 31st.
Meaning, if your story is about some vampire flying down to South Padre and enjoying a nice summer vacation, this is not the contest for you! If your story has anything to do with Halloween/Samhain/October, then you're in.
The exception: If your story does not take place on or around Halloween, but is Autumn related, I will accept that into the contest.
3) Make the entry as long as you wish, multi-chaptered or a oneshot, but no shorter than 600 words. (Which is nothing). I don't care for the rating of the story either, I read them all. (M is where the gore is, though). Don't care about genre either.
Warning: If your story is multi-chaptered and isn't finished before the deadline of this contest, only the chapters you've written will be included into the judging.

4) For the love of God, run a spell check through your entries before you post them on fanfiction.
Looking over your story for errors is part of the site rules, not mine.

Besides the above requirements, feel free to have no limits besides those! If you want, include Frankenstein and Werewolves and Hollywood Witches and Buffy the Vampire Slayer; whoever and whatever you want since all of those things deal with the tradition of Halloween! (As long as you have a vampire and there's a jack-o-lantern in the window of his home, you can write anything you so please.) Don't feel limited to only vampires, but please include one.

What will get you disqualified:

1) Stealing someone else's work. (I take thievery very seriously, people).
2) Harassing me or any other author during this contest. (Contact me if this does happen and I will take care it; preferably with a lawsuit and my favorite lawyer. -kisses him-)

To enter this contest: Please post your entries in the appropriate story category, include my contest in the description, and then review here or message me to let me know you want to enter.

I know I posted this in the vampire section, but the prompt reaches to any movie/book/tv show/comic that has vampires. Go all out!

The Deadline: Has variable to change. Right now, I set the deadline at the next full moon, which by my Witches' Calendar is on November 14th. (and the moon is called the Blood Moon on that day. How appropriate, eh?)
All entries will be cut off on the deadline date. (if you have a conflict, like your computer exploded and you have to use the public one at the library, please let me know and I may be gracious).
Depending on the number of entries, there may be a second or third round.
If there is enough entries for a second or third round, there will be another deadline, and you may submit a new story if you want or simply use the one you did for the previous rounds. (If you want to submit something new, this includes new chapters to the story you wrote for round one).
More details of round two and three will be added if we get there.
If not, I'll crown the winner as soon as I read all of the entries entered!
Judging will be based on quality of the work; then my enjoyment of the piece, or the density of the impression left on me (if the story was written to convey a message). No super strict guidelines for me, so do not write to impress the judge.

The Prize: I haven't really decided yet. (Besides the large amount of self esteem you'll receive by winning my contest), it'll probably end up being me, as your writing slave, forced to write something super erotic or violent. Or both. How about this: I'll write anything of your choice. No limits. (I'm going to regret saying that, aren't I?) If you have something else in mind, let me know.

Final note: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ENTER MY CONTEST. -grovels- You all want to write something for this, I know you do... -puppy eyes- Or, should I say... "Ves, Enther Vis Conthesssss!" -Frightening Dracula billowy cape action- Maybe a little bribery... -sets out a bowl of candy corn-

Any questions, Message me please.

For now, just have fun!

Happy Halloween and Samhain everybody!
