It’s that time again. The days are colder, the nights longer, and spooky things go bump in the night. Come celebrate Halloween with your favorite shapeshifter and The Erotic Society’s sponsored group contest.
Werewolves, Vampires, Ghouls, Dragons, Unicorns, Ghosts, Witches, Warlocks, Aliens… even Angels, the possibilities are endless.
Your shapeshifter will travel through time, from the 18th or 19th century to the year 2017, in search of their romantic interest.
Your flash piece should include elements of romance or erotic romance. It can be sexy, scary or humorous. Have fun with it. It may, of course, include horror; after all, it’s Halloween.
It will be judged on plot, pacing, structure, and the characters’ shifting and transitional adaptability to time travel.
