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.

Only made it into the top half of the standings because of boosts. Definitely need to work a bit harder next time, but overall, glad I'm still in the game.

And wow @ the diversity of what you guys thought of my entry. Alec thought it was second-worst, Taylor thought it was second-best, and Kenny ranked it in the middle.

WELCOME TO ROUND 4!

Here are some lyrics, take a choice between one of the seven and do your best to tell a story with it. Genre is completely optional so be creative, create twists, and try to elevate these farther than the expected. PLEASE make sure that the lyric is not simply a small portion of your entry but the catalyst for the main plot. This challenge is
DUE FRIDAY, JANUARY 1ST AT 8 PM EASTERN

CHRIS: Young thing on the downtown scene
Rolling around at night
Got things that've yet to be seen
Like your rapper's delight
A little party never hurt no one, that's why it's alright


MATT: I was reminiscing just the other day
While having coffee all alone and Lord, it took me away
Back to a first-glance feeling on New York Time
Back when you fit in my poems like a perfect rhyme


TYE: The night is dark but the moon is bright
We're staring at this summer night
Tan skin looks damn good in white
Stripping down by the Hollywood sign


KEVIN: I didn't mean to end his life,
I know it wasn't right
I can't even sleep at night,
Can't get it off my mind
I need to get out of sight, fore I end up behind bars


GREG: Seven devils all around me!
Seven devils in my house!
See they were there when I woke up this morning
I'll be dead before the day is done


VINCENT: It’s getting late
To give you up
I took a sip
From my devil's cup
Slowly
It’s taking over me


NI-GUNNER: New to town with a made up name,
In the angel's city,
Chasing fortune and fame.
And the camera flashes,
Make it look like a dream.
