I have plot!

One might even call it...a Plot Bunny. From Hell.

Because I was thinking today, I should be able to bang out a thousand words of story for AlienSkin's Terrifying Toys contest, right? That's a teeny little story. Anyone should be able to do that.

And I've mulled it over. I have a beginning, a middle, a surprise, and an ending in mind. And I think it might actually fit inside that 900-1000 word limit they want. And I am going to by golly sit here and work on it and see if I can't stick an END at the bottom before I go to bed.

Less than a thousand words. I can do that. And if it's crap, I can edit crap so that it's not-crap. And I'm not worried about striking the right creepy vibe with this. I think I proved rather handily that I can do that with the ReaverFic. *nods firmly*

i was totally thinking of doing that contest (thanks for pointing it out btw! i need to start looking for more of those things.) only problem was once i came up with something sufficiently horror-like, the toy part was missing, and it was way too long. i so suck at horror.

Well, you know...there's other markets out there. Sub it to those.

It may not be that you suck at horror--it may be that you suck at writing to such restrictive prompts. Polish it up, get it workshopped, polish it more, and then start shipping it out. *waves pompoms*

Ralan's is where I find a lot of markets. I try to check there at least once a week for the latest news.
