AW Idol--week FIVE PSA

[MacAllister]

Okay, Horror Hazards--Week four of the AW Idol Write-Off is underway. You can read the entries as they are posted, here (http://absolutewrite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12207).

Our own Hazard, JDKiggins is one of the contest finalists, as are Rhush and Blue Texas. All the writers involved are pretty damned terrific, and they deserve our support and attention.

A number of the stories so far have been creepy good fun. Go and read. Then vote for your favorite, after all the entries are in and Jenna opens the voting. As of this post, there are three entries already posted.

You vote by PMing Melina (http://absolutewrite.com/forums/member.php?u=201), with the name of your favorite writer in the subject line.

I just posted mine...it's a bit creepy. Hard to write horror to the theme of "the seventh grade." This one was the hardest to get an idea for, for me, so I took liberties with a dream I had myself when I was in the seventh grade. The non-fic version wouldn't be nearly as interesting.

[MacAllister]

Polls are open, folks!

[Rhush]

Dang it! The one week I didn't write for horror! Ha! Mine's only creepy if your scared of flying maxi pads...which I am a little. :scared:

[MacAllister]

heh--it was a good entry, Becky--even if it wasn't horror. :) I swear to gawd the entries all just get better and better every week.

[Rhush]

Thanks Mac! I hope mine's not the one that's accused of always screwing up the grammer...cuz it's very likely knowing me! Whoopsey!

[BlueTexas]

I'm missing reading your entry this week, Rhush. That stinks :(

I've just posted mine. It's sorta spooky, again.

[Rhush]

Thanks Blue... my fellow Texan. I'm missing it too, ha! But thanks. Yours is spooky eh? Well you know that always sways my vote! Good luck.

[MacAllister]

Okey dokey, folks--the entries are coming in--go read, make a choice, and be ready to vote! I'll drop another note here when the polls open.

Becky, I'll miss your entry, too. :)

[jdkiggins]

Becky,

I'll miss your entry too. I liked the dark side you bring out with words. Where can I get your book?

[Rhush]

Thanks so much Mac and JDK! As for my book...well, my horror novel is still in the works. I'm trying to figure out if it would be better suited as a screenplay. My Fantasy novel, which is actually very gruesome and angled with a twist of horror, is still making its way around the agents... with a big smile on its face... begging.

[jdkiggins]

Let us know when it's out, Rhush. I'll put money on it to add to my vast book collection. :)
