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.

Kenny's Comments:

Cman710 - The Trials Of Laura - Wow. I really loved this concept a lot. I thought it really used the challenge effectively in an original & unique way. I liked how you took what were otherwise silly/random objects and took them completely seriously, in a way that didn’t really come across as cheesy. I really liked the characters, especially Laura (for obvious reasons), and I found her very sympathetic which is an important and difficult thing to do in a 12 page script. I can picture this entry as the opening to a script more than any of your entries tbh. And it works to it’s advantage. It was a little disappointing when Laura died at the end, but the way it zoomed out to the Television screen with the family watching was really effective and wouldn’t have worked otherwise. I thought it felt a bit like a mix of “Saw” and “Would You Rather?” but still kept a unique spin on it. The dialogue was really well written and natural sounding. Honestly this was probably your most well rounded & original idea since Challenge #2, and I really loved reading every page of it. Even if this competition has been cut short, this entry really proves you’re deserving your status as a finalist! Great job!


Kevin R. - Blood Orange - I wasn’t sure what to expect for this entry at all, so you definitely took me by surprise. I thought you too used the challenge in a unique and interesting way. I was a little worried that the items/things mentioned would be a little too coincidental (as in, not important to the plot and just thrown in to work for the challenge) but thankfully they all came together by the end and it was way more effective in the process. I loved the idea of the coven, and I thought it was done in a really unique way. The writing was really well done and professional as usual, and it allowed me to picture all of the scenes very clearly. I really liked all the characters for the most part, especially Leona (Lewis? :creep: ). I do however, wonder where Hans disappeared to. I’m not sure if he evaporated for the Coven’s spell to work or anything... but I just would’ve liked to know what happened to him. Because as is it just wasn’t clear enough. I thought the dialogue was really great as usual, and felt very natural. Overall you did a great job once again, and proved yourself deserving as a finalist.
