The Spooky Season is upon us!

Answer spooky prompts in your world with original worldbuilding or art. Write new articles or short stories, create art or music... as long as you create it and it's at least somewhat related to the prompt, anything goes! The goal is to have fun and expand your world.

Optional: celebrating 70 years of the Lord of the Rings

The Return of the King was first published 70 years ago (October 20th, 1955), so this Spooktober is themed around The Lord of the Rings! Every single prompt is taken from the books, and you're welcome to join the celebration too by theming your answers to the kind of themes and creatures that live in Middle Earth. This is totally optional, and just a fun way to approach the prompts!
