3. Your entry must be written for this contest, and inspired by the prompt
4. Entries must be submitted by Midnight (BST) on Monday October 29th (That gives you just over two weeks to enter)
5. Use #tellastorytome, you don't have to, but your stories are so good I feel like they deserve their own tag

7. First Place wins 5 SBD more prizes up for grabs if we get enough entries
8. Link back to this contest somewhere in your post. I would be really grateful if you also resteemed this contest (not doing so won't get your entry disqualified, but it is very much appreciated to help get the word out there, and more entries means more prizes)
9.I don’t really want to specify how long it should be, so no min length, and aim for under 4,000 but if it goes a little over, don't worry, I normally find myself wishing your entries never ended
10. Post a link to your tale in the comments below
The Prompt
Your entry must be inspired by this prompt, this is a little different this round, but I am going to trust you all the play by the rules and write an entry specially for me, you have two options. I am looking to hear the story of....
The scariest story ever... or... tell me the scariest story you can
I want to hear a story that either, features the scariest story ever, or is written especially to try and scare me. I have no problems with gore, violence, bloodshed, heart break, freaky horror, creepy things, in fact, I generally just enjoy all horror, so it's open game. That said, your story doesn't have to fit any of these the genres mentioned, it can be anything you want, as long as it either features the scariest story ever as something characters encounter/hear about/etc, or, is a scary story written especially for me.
If you are looking for more ideas for the story about a story, some of the questions you could think about, but by no means have to answer, include:
- Has anyone actually read the story?
- Why is it so scary?
- Does everyone think it is scary?
- What are the effects of reading/hearing it on people?
There is a lot of room for imagination here, so I hope it isn't too broad and you will all find ways (and time) to be creative and see what you can come up with, and I can't wait to see your entries.
Don't forget to include a link in the comments!
