Topic: Poetic horror? Comic poetry?
Well, I'd mentioned westerns as an idea for the next contest. But maybe poetic horror or comic poetry are better ideas, if not great ones. And here's something more daring: song writing.

Mike,
As you know, I'm a professional songwriter and one of my novel series is humor, so either of those would work for me!

Re: Poetic horror? Comic poetry?
I've become interested in the noire genre. I'd love to write a story about a character who knows he/she shouldn't go down a certain path but they find it irresistible. They are pulled magnetically to places they know they shouldn't go.

Another contest idea to add to all the good ones above: You Can't Make this Stuff Up - Historical fiction based on something which happened in real life which is as unbelievable as anything you could make up - then make up your own story around it.

That's an interesting one!

Much thanks, Alan and KL. Hopefully we'll have more people chiming in with their interests reg. the next contest.

Hey Mike, Maybe start a new string with a title indicating that we're looking for the subject matter of the next contest so that people realize what's under discussion. (Is this how it's done? I haven't been around long enough to know.) Karen
Re: Poetic horror? Comic poetry?
Good idea, Karen. I will do that. And please feel free to post your ideas for contests or whatever. It's pretty easy to post new topics.
