October Writing Challenge - Ghosts!

Damn. I should have saved my devil-worship story. :(

Yeah I was wondering if I could sneak my O'Brien/haunted passenger liner story back in again :evil:

Both those stories immediately came to mind when I read this challenge. I was concerned that my initial ideas where too close to either one to be considered original.

Great avatar, by the way, Starkers. Way to keep with this month's challenge theme.
 
I almost wish I could enter my current Bluefin story, "Ghost in the Machine." Unfortunately, it's much too long and probably won't be finished by Halloween.

I do have an idea for a short story, but I don't know if I'll have time to flesh it out. I'm looking forward to the entries - I love a good ghost story! :eek:
 
Wow! It's so cool to see that this is still going. How long has it been? (It seems like about three years to me.)

It's good to see that some things don't change. I look forward to reading and voting.

Yeah, I think this is probably our three year anniversary - I think the winning entries thread starts with the October contest for 2005!

Hey, feel free to enter too, Scatta ;)
 
I may try my hand at the challenge this month.

"Star Trek: Mandela"
Earthdate: August 12 2379
Doctor Kathrine Pulaski is requested and required to relocate to the Mandela (Legacy-Class) after Dr. Mary Klesaris is assigned to Drema Station & the U.S.S. Progress (Mediterranean-Class) is reassigned to the Io - Earth Supply Run. Kyle Riker, her on-again/off-again beau is concerned that something is "haunting" her sleep. He contacts the Titan & the nearest counsellor he's comfortable consulting about this intimate issue....his now daughter-in-law Deanna Riker-Troi, also formerly of the Enterprise-D.

Would an entry using the supernatural theme as a side note and not the main focus will be accepted?

I think it would depend on how side-lined the supernatural aspect was.

However, you should feel free to write it and enter anyway, I'll leave it to the voters to decide whether they like it as a scary story or not.
 
Great!

For anyone else wanting to enter, by my rather bleary-eyed reckoning there's three days and eleven hours until the close of competition.
