THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE: HORROR IN RURAL AMERICA
WE ARE LOOKING FOR HORROR/SUSPENSE/MYSTERY/SUPERNATURAL STORIES THAT TAKE PLACE IN RURAL AMERICA. OTHER GENRES ARE OKAY AS LONG AS THE MAIN THEME IS DARK AND/OR DISTURBING. THINK FARMLAND. THINK ABANDONED BUILDINGS. THINK SMALL TOWNS WITH NOSY NEIGHBORS. THINK MALEVOLENCE IN MIDDLE AMERICA. THINK LONG, CREEPY COUNTRY ROADS. MOST IMPORTANTLY, THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX! TRADITIONAL MONSTERS (VAMPIRES, WEREWOLVES, ZOMBIES, WITCHES, MUMMIES, ETC.) ARE WELCOME AS LONG AS PRESENTED IN A FRESH AND INTERESTING WAY.

I think I'll probably do something for this one. Thanks for the heads up, guys!

Good luck, Doc!
I also would ask Chrono and Flayed to drop by this thread and run their HDC Idol ideas across to these publishers. Sounds like original ideas would be more than welcome!
Anyone else with a creative imagination? Give this a shot too.

Looks like only the antho's open, though. I'd more recommend Chrono and Flayed go to www.ralan.com and start checking out what the marketplace looks like.

I really should have paid closer attention to this to try to get a story out. Oh, well. I think I need to start fishing for contests like this one so that I can actually force myself to write - I feel as though I do better with a deadline.
V - Thanks, as always, for thinking of me. I really need to sit down and write out my concepts. I appreciate the encouragement.
Doc - Thanks for that site. I believe you've sent that to me before, but it was bookmarked on my old computer and I lost it. Good reference. Did you wind up submitting a story?

Anytime, darling. :)
I know you have the talent...this special gift, but you lack the commitment and time to spare. You really need to give this skill of yours some special room in your daily life, and take it from there...if it comes to you naturally and easily, I say go for it.
All the best.

Actually, I just quit my job so I suddenly have the time to spare... It's just confidence that I'm lacking now... Fear of failure and blah blah blah... I know. I just need to get pen to paper. Thank you SO much for the encouragement. It is honestly helpful. *smooches*
