Thank you so much for posting to WEP's Horrorfest in October. I'm sure everyone enjoyed reading the entries. So good to see so many of the 'oldies but goodies' taking part.
All the entries will remain on the site if you wish to read more at your leisure.
We the team have had some discussion regarding doing another special, and all have decided not to do anything in December except enjoy our families and friends. There is the gem of an idea of another special flash fiction event in February. That too was always a popular month. So if you enjoyed meeting together again, please consider joining us in February. All those who participated in the Horrorfest will receive an email closer to the date.
Meanwhile, enjoy Christmas in whichever way you celebrate. Have a great time! Even better if you can fit some writing in!

Hi, Denise here, announcing WEP is back to offer a flash fiction challenge for October. We didn't want to miss our Thrillfest month.
October is our month to celebrate speculative fiction, horror and paranormal, but as always no bar on any genre except erotica. But a little bit of scary can't hurt...
This is the Horrorfest Challenge in which we ramp up the spook factor, welcoming your creepiest compositions, your most haunting and haunted tales running the gamut of paranormal, speculative, crime and horror genre. However, as always, there are no rigid rules. Feel free to write to any genre if those mentioned are not your thing.
We can't go on without explaining what's been happening. As always, the WEP team have been facing some mountainous challenges. Early this year in April I didn't expect to have my son in Intensive Care for three months and a hospital ward for one month! Was the most trying time of my life. Thankfully, we got through it, but still face day to day struggle.
Meanwhile, we've had bi-monthly meet ups here, where we reported on what we've achieved and some of you dropped us a comment and link to give us your news. I want to thank the WEP team for writing my entry when I couldn't face opening my laptop.
The team was devastated with the loss of two of our original members, Sally Stackhouse after a struggle with liver cancer (her combined prose and poems will be sadly missed) and Nancy Williams who was finding much joy in writing as she battled health problems. RIP, ladies. We love and miss you.
There is a tribute page to Sally here:

Here's to you, Sally!
Will miss your writing, Nancy.
So, hey writers, welcome to our special challenge! Many of you have told us that you have been missing the inspiration of writing to a challenge, so here we are to challenge you to get your flash fiction writing mojo on and pen a thriller for October. The October challenge has always been heaps of fun. Let's make this one the funniest ever!
Post your entries to the Linkup from October 1 to 16, 2024
Remember to add a tagline which should take us to the heart of your story:
"A tagline is more like a catchphrase that conveys a feeling or a promise about the story. A tagline should be catchy, genre-focused, and intriguing."
We'd love it if you'd Tweet or post to FB or any social media site where you network! If you avoid social media, we totally get you.
