Welcome to The Horror Closet's first, exclusive writing competition: Writers Unleashed™. We’ve been planning this for a long time and we believe we are now finally at a place where we can host it properly!


Posted Image
In this competition you will be up against both the experienced & beginner creative writers of this forum, week after week, as you complete the challenges and are scored and ranked by the judges (TheCheetahwings and GhettoSpiritMedium) and the final judge and host, (SnazzyShadeEmily).The last writer standing, is the winner. We hope you choose to sign up for Writers Unleashed™ today,and join us for this competition, and to grow as a writer. You don't need to have any experience at all to atleast try, so we hope anyone with atleast a smidge of interest gives it a shot. The challenges will be posted weekly. Round 1 comes this Friday Night, due Thursday, December 10th at 12/11C. Most rounds will be posted Saturday but since it's Round 1, you get an extra day. Use it wisely. Results come every Saturday night starting at 6/5C and running two hours. I'll post the next round shortly after. The round themes will not specify a genre, so feel free to do whichever you want as they will all be graded fairly using the same basic scale. When your entry is complete, PM it to Me/SnazzyShadeEmily, and I'll send it to the others once the deadline has been reached. I hope you all consider joining! Also, please make entries an original work unless stated within the challenge post.

This was really cute, and I don't mean that in the insulty way. The whole plot with the whole family being super villians felt in a way like a plot line for a Saturday morning cartoon, which made this a lot of fun to read. ESPECALLY since I'm lame and really like superhero related things. It was the shortest out of all your entries, but I feel like it ended at a good time, since I feel like if it kept going it would've dragged and overstayed it's welcome. The whole thing also felt quite cheesy, from the plot to the dialogue, but I feel like that was the point. This isn't my favorite entry by you, but still a good one.

Vincent

Omfg first of all, that title alone is flawless >> I really enjoyed this entry, it was a lot of fun to read, and I loved the mix of the romantic comedy and murder conspiracy. The humor was slightly hit and miss, the miss mainly being the random anal sex jokes omg. I was also a bit worried that this would drag due to it bring on the longer side, but you pulled it off well!

-----------

Kevin

Omg once again Kevin, you managed to pull off an entry that had many twists and turns that I didn't expect. You really manage to write dry humor well, And made me chuckle a few times. The ghosts weren't really what I expected, but were still a lot of fun. How they killed all the teens was very creative. The whole twist with Lauren actually wanting her friends to die actually caught me off guard, but I really liked the route the whole script took. When I saw it was 20 pages I was a bit nervous it'd drag, but once again you managed to pull it off in such a fun and unique way that made me want to keep reading to find out what happened.

N-Gunner

This was very well written, I loved the darker turn it took, and the dialogue was very well done. But what made you lose a few points, is just you didn't follow the challenge 100% right. I know you did have the baby shower at th very end, but it really should've been the MAIN focus of the story, which is why I dislike knocking you off quite a few points. But other then that, I found the plot to be quite interesting and thought it was very unique the route you took it. You also really pulled off the crime/film noir style very, very well. As I've said, you're a VERY talented writer, just your main issue seems to just be sticking to the challenge a bit better.

----------
Tye

OMG TYE :) Ngl this was a LOT more dark and dramatic then I expected it to be. I thought for sure Helena would somehow be saved at the end or the killers would be stopped but... NOPE everyone icasually DIED :) I did REALLY like like this entry though, and like last time your writing style and descriptions are VERY well done. My only real issue with this, was I felt like it could've been slightly longer. But overall you pulled off the wedding with a thriller aspect REALLY well, and as I said, managed to surprise me quite a bit with the route you took.

----------
Greg

HELP THE WHOLE SCI FI PART WAS SO WILD, THE SEX SCENE MADE ME FUCKING GASP :) But yeah this was REALLY good. I seriously love how your write dialogue, and describe all your scenes. The story was really interesting, and I enjoyed seeing it build up to that WILD climax. I was a bit confused by the very ending, but it didn't lessen how much I loved this entry. I've never really read more then one or two pages at most of your actual writing, but I wasn't let down!

----------
Matt

First of all, I mean no offense by this but I'm REALLY thankful this didn't have a ton of random racist jokes :) Now that, that's outta the way, this was easily your best entry. I can tell you put more thought and more effort into this, which was very nice to see. I ACTUSLLY found the ending to be REALLY effective and well done I still think your dialogue and descriptions can be a bit on the rougher side, but I can EASILY see a TON of improvement in this entry. Now keep it up and win this bitch, ho!

Car

I loved your writing back when I read the two episodes of your Scream TV series, and you proved to me again that you're a fantastic writer. I really love the route this entry took, and how unique it was. Your dialogue and descriptions are fantastic and I loved seeing how the story went. Your use of the tea party was very original, and I also really liked how you used the zombie aspect. As a first entry this was great, and I can't wait to read more!
