Contest Announcements F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Dec 10 1:42 am)
In English, macabre was originally used in reference to this "dance of death" but then gradually broadened in use to describe anything grim or horrific. Today macabre functions as a synonym of gruesome or repulsive, always with a connection to the physical aspects of death and suffering.
Macabre does not necessarily mean violence, blood, brutality, or gore. I will look at each entry and determine if it's too far over the line. Some leniency is given for the Halloween Contests. Example, The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe is the macabre, yet would not violate the TOS in written or illustrated form.
Thank you for your concerns, I look forward to seeing your entries.

Thank you so much for participating and for your feedback! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the contest in the end. We strive to make our contests as engaging and accessible as possible, so if you have any specific suggestions on how we could improve the rules or make them clearer, we’d love to hear them. Thanks again for being part of the community and sharing your creativity.Thanks for contest - it took me a bit to get into the swing (I also found the rules very off-putting), but it ended up being lots of fun!
