Hello, writers of all things dark and spooky!
As you all know (or not, time has no meaning for some of us and that's good, too), Halloween is quickly approaching and I'd like to propose something to celebrate and promote the darker works of the website in this appropriate season: a shout out exchange festival!
All you have to do is "sign up" in this thread by saying you're interested and leave a link to your work, as well as a link to your cover image and a short, one to two sentence synopsis for the graphic. I'll be gathering them all and making some sort of graphic that every participant will then post, as a chapter, on Halloween, with the links in the description box! Sign-up deadline is October 29th, to give me time to get everything sorted out and posted here!
What is not allowed:
Anything that breaks the Tapas TOS by depicting excessive sexual content, sexual content including minors, violence towards children or minority groups, etc.
Any kind of hate speech aimed at marginalized groups.
Glorification of violence or abuse.
(Let me know if there's anything I've missed on this!)
If any of you novelists is also on RoyalRoad (or interested in hopping over and getting started there), I'm organizing a similar event there, but including reviews swaps, so let me know that in your reply and I'll send you a DM with the link to the forum post there!
I'm starting things out by leaving my Epic Fantasy + Gothic Horror novel about seven friends who walked into Hell to seek power, but only six survived. Now kept locked, away from each other and used as unwilling soldiers, they plot to gain back their freedom and unveil the mysteries of their dying world, the one bleeding into it and the truth surrounding the loss of their friend.
