Halloween Poll Story - Vote to decide what I write!
11 years ago
As Halloween approaches and I read yet another delicious deception piece by Euphrosyneunlimited , I found myself in the mood to do a costume prank piece that wasn’t romance or even primarily sexual. So I gave it a hard think – take that as an entendre if you want - and the images that came back were so numerous that I decided to throw this one open to a poll. Maybe I’ll make it an annual thing.
This will be a series of polls going from the most basic plot to specifics about characters and costumes. Each poll will last for 2-4 days so that I start somewhere near the middle of October and it’s done by Halloween.
Note to any people commissioning me when I officially open Oct 1: when the last poll closes, all work ceases until this project is done.
So, the high level. Should this be:
1. Character 1 wants something and sets up an elaborate Scooby-Doo style scheme. Character 2 investigates.
2. Like 1, but infiltration rather than scaring people
3. Character 1 decides to scare character 2 (or more people) for fun
4. Characters 1 AND 2 (perhaps more) team up to do the scaring
5. One or more characters defending something by using costumes and disguises to make people scared to go there.
6. Leave a comment (you can vote for a number if you do). Should be thematic with a plan towards making mischief / achieving a goal rather than any sort of romance, sex, or even primarily revenge. This is about either having fun or getting something tangible through disguises and scaring people. If it’s adequately mischievous I’ll allow it to be defensive, but it should be an entertaining defense. If 10% of the poll votes go to it, I'll do a run-off.

Gotta put a vote here. If you've seen Scooby Doo & The Legend Of The Phantosaur, the interns dressing up as raptors was the most awesome part to me.
Can we vote for more than one? I like all the ideas!!!
Not as much with #2, though. SCARING IS PARAMOUNT!!!
Skunkbeard from Pirates Ahoy! He literally had the population of a ship hypnotized to serve as his crew. That and the monsters that the captain and the coordinator use to scare the gang at the beginning are pretty good.
Cleopatra in Where's My Mummy. It turns out to be Velma!!! You couldn't top that if you were on stilts.
