With great fanfare, I am pleased to announce the first proper RQ competition!

Wondering what we're going to put in the upcoming #MagnusPod season break? How about hearing YOUR words read out by the RQ Crew?



RUSTY FEARS is a RQ Horror Writing Opportunity, aimed at furthering our desire to be a platform for new voices and new talent.
And who better to showcase than our fans 

Basically, submit an original short story (1000-2500 words) in the horror genre to us by midnight GMT on Sunday 1st April 2018 and 2 lucky winners will have their work undergo the Rusty Quill treatment for transmission in April/May!



If you're planning on entering, please make sure you read the full T&Cs over on our website.

Closing the door on this in just over 25hrs folks! Get them in soon if you're going to...

AND... the door closes with nary a squeak or a hiss, but with the silent finality of judgement.

Thank you so much to anyone who submitted stories - the judging panel have a mammoth task ahead, what with the 94 entries received! We'll aim to announce the winners as soon as we can.

Wow, 94 entries!
That's awesome, but also very difficult to narrow down. Not envying the judges there. XD

I wonder if the winners have been picked yet?

[Oneiros]

Wonder no more...

Congratulations go to Melissa Mason (for their story "Paint") and Elizabeth Richardson (for their story "Lucid"), winners of the first ever RQ competition!

Congratulations to the winners!!!

Here's hoping everyone else will post their stories somewhere for a delicious read through. *encouraging poke*

Congratulations to the winners!

I agree, we should post our stories on the forum! Should we make a thread? Rusty Fears Hall of Honour?
