Something Wicked: Rules & FAQ
The Rules
- This is a gen-oriented comment-meme for creating fanworks that explore the horror genre, in all its variety. Pairings are fine as long as the relationship isn't the focus. Let's creep the bejeebies out of each other!
- To play, just leave a prompt or reply to a prompt. The meme is open to fic and all forms of visual art.
- Any fandom is welcome, including crossovers and fusions.
- When you prompt, be sure to indicate the fandom. You can use picture prompts as well; please hide under a cut or link if NSFW.
- When you fill a prompt, write the word FILLED in bold followed by the Title of your piece, the fandom, characters, rating and warnings. You can post directly in the comment, or link to your journal as long as the entry is unlocked. A prompt can receive more than one fill, if it so happens.
- Art larger than 800px should be posted as a work-safe thumbnail with a link to the full art. If there is anything even vaguely NSFW in the image, please hide under a link or cut!
- Stories longer than 3,000 words can be posted in parts; each subsequent chapter should be posted as a reply to the comment containing the first part of your story.
- Any questions? PM blood_and_pie.
Warnings
Please include all relevant warnings in your title when you fill a prompt request, artists please make sure to list any relevant warnings for your art as well.
QuestionsWhat type of horror do you mean?

Is there a minimum or maximum length for the fix / size for the art?
Nope! It can be any size it needs to be, just keep in mind that you'll have to post your story in multiple comments if it exceeds 3,000 words, and link to your art if it is larger than 800px.
Can I post my fanwork somewhere else too?
Of course! Just post it here first please.
