Halloween Challenge 2017

Hello, all Halloween scribes!

Good to see that inspiration is still up and running. Cat2 has not disappointed us with her usual round of stories.... nice to see the first and looking forward to what's to follow. Lovely piece from VMR, and Marion, naturally doesn't disappoint. 8M-M)

Welcome to a new writer, Andrew J Jones, who's posted the first two parts of an intriguing story for Halloween, "Tragedy Angel". Looking forward to reading the rest, Andrew!

Thanks, Skybase Girl! And thanks for being one of my beta readers.

That was my first attempt at writing fiction from start to finish. It was a little more time consuming than I thought it would be. But, I enjoyed doing it and I learned a few things along the way.

I'm enjoying the other Halloween stories for this year and look forward to reading some more.

My thanks as well Skybase Girl. I love this time of the year (and Christmas) as there are always new stories to read. An interesting story line from Marion.
I haven’t yet had a chance to read yours Lt Pine but I do share your feelings about writing fanfiction. Frustrating while you’re doing it but so satisfying went done.

Halloween certainly does inspire Scarlet-fans - we always get a good set of stories for the challenge that bring new ideas to the fandom.
I have enjoyed the new stories this year. Well done everyone! Looking forward to more of the same. 8M-M)

Sorry guys, late late late, but my excuse is I was writing my own short Halloween story.... :grin:

Marion, simply loved 'Frozen'. The ending really got me... :cry:

quite unexpected...
Cat2 and VMS, Andrew, yours are next on my list of things to read...

Caroline - I thought yours was terrific, as ever!

Certainly was - she is the doyenne of Halloween epics

I still have the chills about "The Scuptor". Back in 2004, that story certainly set the height for creepiness in Captain Scarlet's horror story. Since then, we kept having wonderful creepy stories by various authors, but Caroline's was the first really, really, REALLY creepy one!

THE SCULPTOR

Aww...thank you all!
Mind you, as the years pass and I scrabble about for creepy stories....I sometimes wonder if I peaked too early.... :lol:
