Request for submissions - the Horror Day anthology!

Hey everyone,

I just had a tiny brainstorm (appropriate for a tiny brain!). I'm putting a story online for Horror Day, and I know a lot of other writers aren't going to be able to take part personally, so what I thought I'd do is the world's fastest-compiled anthology.

Basically, if you'd like to participate, send me your short stories, one story each, preferably 1000 words maximum, along with maybe 25 words of bio, and I'll put as many as I can onto a web page and try and get it publicised a bit. The page will only be available on Friday the 13th, though thanks to time zones it'll be more than 24 hours of course! I'll need all the stories within the next 24 hours. The only rights I'd claim to the stories is for that 48 hour or so period of time. The only editing I'd do is basic grammar and spelling if necessary, due to the time constraints. And, of course, no payment!

I do wonder what we can throw together in such a short time? Send me your stories and we'll see. :)

EDIT - [livejournal.com profile] azhure has just jumped on board to co-edit. In the words of C. Montgomery Burns... eeeeexcellent... :)

So much for that plan - I just got home, and you've launched it already! :)

Still, a sterling achievement. *applauds*
