I absolutely love telling stories and it's more or less why I do everything I do, from making games, to teaching & writing.

------------------------------------------------
I'm excited about this contest and the way it has brought everyone together as a community. We'd love to see more and more people participate!

(If you would like to offer anything to the winners to encourage and foster the writing scene in Newgrounds, feel free to do so! It doesn't even have to be a monetary donation. If you're an artist, you could offer to draw a character in the winning story for example, or compose a song for it! It's all about the community spirit!)

Go NG!

I feel like an artist :D
I will draw the main character of the winning story, and if i can, i will pain it.
I can?

That's awesome! I'll add you to the prizes.

Just asking since I need specification, can my story story be based on a horror movie/franchise?

I already replied in the forum, but just to recap, it's allowed, by originality is more encouraged.

Sounds awesome! Luck to all the contestants, I can't wait to see everyone's writing and stuff! :D

That's the spirit :D

My name is cast and I'm starving to death. Please help me.
