Step 1.) Be original

Step 2.) As step 1 says, do not use any of the following: death, blood, zombies (obviously), My Little Pony (all creepypastas of that are the same, plus the new rules state you can't use it), Eyeless Jack, Slender Man (Not even scary), Jeff The Killer (still not scary). Actually anything that involves an already existing creepy pasta, or death... Or existing folk lore.

Step 3.) Make it not too short or too long. Honestly, who would want to read an hour of the same story? While you can make it short (like a poem) we recommend you make a story that would take 5 minutes or 10 minutes to read.

Step 4.) Proof read. Check your story for mistakes, like grammar and speeling. Also, be sure to use paragraphs, and indenting.

Step 5.) Spooky Scary Skeletons
