rarepair_shorts | Mod Post: Halloween Monster Mash Signups and Rules

Halloween Monster Mash!

Hello everyone and let me introduce you to a new fest at

rarepair_shorts, the Halloween Monster Mash. This will be a low pressure fest which runs from the 1st-31st October, and will have the same format and rules as the Festive Fun Fest. As a reminder they are under the cut below. Please use this post to sign up.
We have a list of 40 halloween themed prompts for you to choose from. There are three levels (easy, medium, and hard) and each level has a different amount of prompts. If you pick the easy level then you just pick one number from the list, medium level you pick two, and the hard level you pick three. Every prompt must be in the the fic some way - it can be inspired by them or actually present in it, the choice is up to you.

Reply to the signup post using the following form:

1.Specify what level you want (easy, medium, or hard)
2.Give us the number/s of the the prompt/s you want based on your level

An example would be:

Option # 1: Easy, 34
Option #2: Medium, 22, 31
Option # 3: Hard, 10, 25, 37

We will reply to your comments telling you your prompt/s.

Like the last time, your comments will be screened, and our comments will be visible. Please don't share with others which numbers you chose. We don't want people to figure out which numbers correspond with which prompts - that just spoils the fun. If you pick more than one prompt then we will list them alphabetically so you can’t guess which one goes with which.
