Halloweeeeen stories deadline approaches!

Mount ye your flaming carriages, ride ye screeching across rooftops, delighting one and all with the wake of your blood-dimmed tide! The lowliest of holy nights draws nigh, with many a pumpkin deserving a gutting and many a child's tooth plotting its next cavity.

To quote that epic piece of serious, insightful and deeply moving dramatic cinema, "Starship Troopers": Are you doing your part?

Ten days remain until the deadline's close - September 30 - after which date, new submissions will not be considered for the upcoming FANG Halloween '05 issue which, considering the printer's slowness, should be available around October 20, leaving young and old ample time to obtain a copy in time for the around-the-fire-sitting and the sharing of scaaary tales.

Should you consider yourself lacking the skills needed for such a venture, surely you know of authors whose works you'd like to see printed. Mmm, in clear, carefully balanced print on crisp, off-white paper, properly weighted lettering and a cover whose gloss rivals that of many a lacquered death-mask... If you know or know of someone of such talents, you can do them a great service by dropping them a quick e-mail to inform them that FANG, the Little Black Book of Furry Fiction, is accepting Halloween- and horror-themed submissions of any rating and comfort level until September 30!

So polish up whatever you might have lying around until it gleams like the hook on the serial murderer's ragged arm-stump, or dip your quill in the blood of innocents and set it to parchment, and be swift as the raven while you're at it!
