Q&A

Q: Can we use connector words?
A: Yes, you may use connector words to connect your titles together.
See Jenny's example in message 2.

Sample Story (doesn't necessarily fit the theme)
The Scarecrow King had One Last Stop to make. There was a Hint of Danger in his mission to find the Wendigo. It was a Heartless Creature and very Dangerous. He had the The Sword of Summer and he was ready for The Hunt. He was sure to find The Beast on the Isle of the Undead where he liked to Hide. It was Four Past Midnight when he arrive at the isle. He heard The Call of the Wendigo and followed it to the the Eclipse Lake. The Scarecrow gave a Battle Cry as he Charged The Beast. It was a Bloody Sunset but The Deed was done. He could go home to His Halfling Lover.

This is so fun! Love the challenges in this group. I would love to sign up for this one.

This definitely sounds interesting

Sounds like fun

There is a sample story in message one for you guys. It doesn't fit the theme but it will give you an idea of what you can do.

How are we doing folks? Are we gonna have some fun stories for Halloween?

collecting all my titles for now, and will write the story a bit closer to Halloween ;)

Almost time, folks! Can't wait to read your stories!!!

Here's my story. Didn't use some of my titles ( You're Never Weird on the Internet just doesn't seem to fit in a fantasy horror story, lol), but I squeezed in quite a few :)

One day Oliver Twist broke The Curfew of the Orphanage on Coffin Road and had Gone South towards The Dark Forest in search of A Boy's Own Story. He evaded The Night Watch, and snuck out of the Jade City, headed towards The Crooked Kingdom. He spent his first night looking up at a sky which was Blue Darker Than Black and went To Sleep in a Sea of Stars.
Unbeknown to Oliver, her was being hunted by a Psycho Enchanter who wanted to Feed on his life energy to strengthen his own Dark Currents.

In the morning, when the sky had lightened to a Pale Blue, Oliver managed to get a ride from a passing cart. “I’m off to pitch a stall at the Carnival�, said The The Driver, and Oliver decided to spend the day at the Carnival too. When they got there, Oliver was excited to see The Haunted House, and snuck inside, hoping to see some Ghosts. Instead, what he found was The Enchanter, The Scar across his eye glinted as he flashed a grin of pure Malice, showing his White Teeth, and began his Complicated Hocus Pocus. A Dark liquid began to ooze out of the Blood Cross the Enchanter wore around his neck, and was creeping towards Oliver.

Oliver felt trapped between The Devil and the Dark Water, but managed to run past the enchanter, who immediately came in pursuit. Oliver hoped that with Some Luck he could find a way to defeat the villain, and ducked inside the House of mirrors, grabbing a curious object from a stall on the way. As the Enchanter found his way to the centre, and resumed his dark magic, Oliver discovered the Object was a lightning bolt and used The Mirror & the Light to send a beam of pure light to counter The Enchanter’s darkness. The Lightning Thief was rewarded with a scream as the beam began Killing the Shadows, and the Enchanter vanished under the searing light.

The Lady of the Rivers was The Witness to Oliver’s victory, and granted him the Enchanter’s home, Castle Rackrent in The City of Brass, where Oliver lived for many happy years until Death's End finally came for him.

Love your story, Sammy!
