The Hair-Raising, Spine-Chilling Alternate Universe Contest

Your Objective: Write a story using Stephanie Meyer's characters (and some of your own, if you so choose) that scares me! This story should be completely alternate universe, meaning your characters do not have to behave the way they do in the books and you can certainly give them entirely new personalities. This also means that the characters can have different pasts, presents, and futures. Make them as interesting as you want. The crazier the better. I thoroughly enjoy characters that should be locked up in mental hospitals. I would prefer your characters to mostly human, no vampires and werewolves existing in their world, but I encourage characters like serial killers or ghosts.

POV: The point of view is totally up to you. It can be alternating first person, stable first person, or third person. Whatever you choose.

Characters: The characters can be of any age, live anywhere, act anyway. I don't want to be reminded of Twilight except for the names of the characters. Go wild!

How to Enter: Please message me to inform me that you wish to enter the contest. You do not have to give me a summary of your story, but if you have any questions or concerns, please ask! I will add you to my Author Alerts and once you write the story, I will put it into my Favorites. I will read every story and at the end of the contest, I will announce my top 5.

Rules, Regulations, etc.:The stories can be of any rating, and I would be surprised to find a winner of this contest with a story below that of a T rating. Scary things just aren't rated K. I am not opposed to raunchy sex scenes or gory murder scenes either. The contest will end on March 1st. That will give you almost 3 months to complete your story. The story can be of any length, though I do prefer longer stories to shorter ones. It can be a song fic, a poem, a short story, or a long chaptered story, whichever you choose.

Ends March 1st at noon.

Enjoy!

Love, Courtney
