The latest topic?

[Unbreathless]

I'd like to try my hand at writing a story, but the submission form says to submit ones that are on topic... but then doesn't give the current topic.
Are you between topics right now? Or can I just go ahead and write whatever I want?

[Dan Whitehead]

I think you can write for any of the existing topics as well. Just be sure to say which category it's for when you send it in.

[Blofeld]

Yeah, 'cause if you write an exotic, zombie-sea monster story...

[Dan Whitehead]

Damn it. There goes another great idea...

Seriously though, I wrote a story without planning it for any of the existing story topics, and sent it in. It's never appeared on the site, so now it waits in limbo for a relevant topic to appear...

And trust me, if I could answer that question, I would. Nick's CNN gig kinda interrupted his plans to talk to us, so although I'm listed as an editor, I'm not *currently* sure of some of the finer details. Hastur is currently working on a post for the Chud Town Stories that is quite lengthy, I'll toss her at this thread afterwards and see if she makes a splat...er, see if she knows anything.

Actually, I was looking at the topic section, and it seems kind of limiting in some ways. I need to talk to Nick (yeah, right, he's busier than a one-armed-paper-hanger) and see if there's a way to open it up a bit more. At the very least, it should now have a section of "Our Town" or something.

Thanks a lot guys.

demonic possession of a homicidal maniac anyone?

I think the a topic that would be cool would be "killer plants" or maybe "killer Animals"

but thats just my opinion... if you really WANT to do Erotic Underwater Mer-lesbians, who am I to stop you?

hhmmmm *gets out pen and paper and stares into the aquerium for inspiration*

It's official. The next topic is "When Were-Penguins Attack!"

[Sleeplesslumber]

How about psychological horror. "It's all in you mind."

[caustic]

We could always mesh the two and have

"When were-penguins attack...YOUR MIND!!!!"

[Coyote]

Carefull. I'll do it.
Of course, it'll be a psychic nun, but still....

[WrappedinPlastic loves life]

You either write in one of the easy to choose topics...OR if you are in doubt, go for Misc!

[Sleeplesslumber]

Alright I'll do a series of short stories called The Adventures of Misc.
