2013 Wicked Women Writers Challenge
– How Will You Survive?
Welcome to the 5th annual
Wicked Women Writers Challenge – hosted by HorrorAddicts.net
Where women show how horror done right
is horror that stays with you forever.
What is the Wicked Women Writer
Challenge?
A challenge to all women horror
writers, published or unpublished. Not only do you get to show off
your prose, but we challenge you to perform your story in a podcast
recording for all our listening pleasures. Both your written story
and audio podcast are publicly judged and voted upon by the fans to
determine who becomes 2013 Most Wicked. Each podcast story must be
crafted by the entrant and will be limited to ten (10) minutes.
2013 Theme: How Will You Survive?
Premise: Life is never
convenient. Why should the apocalypse be any different? Our challenge
is how would you survive in an untimely apocalyptic situation.
Story Elements
Upon acceptance in to the 2013 Wicked
Women Writers Challenge, your destiny will fall under the Norns Hands
of Fate. The Norns will randomly assign the following required
elements to help you craft your apocalyptic survival story.
Location: Where will you be when
the inevitable strikes? The office lunchroom, stuck on the freeway, a
public toilet, or at the gynecologist? We’re pretty sure it won’t
be while you’re hunkered down in an underground missile silo with a
fully loaded bug out bag.
Disaster: How will the end of
the world strike? There is an endless spectrum of how humans will
meet their ultimate demise. EMP blasts, super volcano, economic
collapse, aliens, terrorist invasion, asteroids, or possibly even
zombies are but a few of the ways to end humanity, as we know it.
Will you be prepared? What Will You Do to Survive?
Item: It wouldn’t be fair to
trap you in a room full of flesh-eating slugs and not give you a fly
swatter now would it? Each challenger will receive one item to help
them out of their dire situation. Use your item wisely.
Caveat Disability: You are
trapped in your designated location. Unfortunately, you have an
untimely disability. There is someone or something trying to kill and
possibly eat you. Will you escape or battle it through to the bitter
end? What might await you on the outside if you do manage to escape?
How Will You Survive?
WARNING: The Norns
are feeling itchy this year. This challenge is not for the faint of
heart.
