What is the biography of Frankenstein’s (monster) body parts?
What unholy pact did the very first vampire make to become what they are now?
How did Werewolves become slaves of the moon?
Who was the first Ghost in the world and how did they react?
The Mummy, The Hunchback, The Phantom Of The Opera, The Invisible Man, and even The Creature From The Black Lagoon…
How did they come to be?
How do they deal with their new nature?
And who suffers because of it?
GIVE ME NEW ORIGINS OF OLD MONSTERS!

This is will NOT be your usual submission call.

Submissions will be in rounds.
This is so you don’t have to wait for ages for a response.
(ALL COMPLETED STORIES MUST BE IN BY DEC 1st 2016)

ROUND ONE
will be the FIRST 200 words of the story, you have this to grab my attention. If you do, you’ll go through to the second round.
(THIS ROUND CLOSES JULY 31st)

ROUND TWO
will be the first 1,500 words of the story. If you’re still engaging me, you get through the last round.
(THIS ROUND CLOSES SEPTEMBER 30th)

FINAL ROUND
The decider. The final yay or nay.
(THIS ROUND CLOSES DECEMBER 1st)
ALL REJECTIONS AND ACCEPTANCES WILL BE KNOWN BY JAN 3rd AT THE LATEST UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED.

ALL SUBMISSIONS will be blind.
That is to say, all details will have all the details stripped from them in the interest of equality.
I won’t know if you’re male, female, or giraffe.
I won’t know where you’re from.
I won’t know your race.
You’ll be as featureless as the wind.
IT’S ALL ABOUT THE STORY.
Okay, GET WRITING – You’ll get the jump on everyone else!
P.S. It’s much easier to gain my attention on Twitter (@RDTEUN)
