Wordtober! 31 Days of Spooky Words

Let's play a little game! Below is a list of 31 words inspired by everyone's favourite spooky season. Use the daily word in a post every day for a spooky prize!

How it Works

Play it Straight

Use the daily word in a post and win a cute little icon and a snazzy custom title!

Notes:

• The Spooky Word of the Day should be used on that day.
  
• Exception: the first word can be used on either October 1st or October 2nd and still count as "day of."
  
• There are no extra points for using a word multiple times or in multiple posts.
  
• To be extra challenging, plurals and variations on a root word are NOT accepted -- so you can't use "superstitious" instead of "superstition." >:)
  

Consolation Corner

Even if you aren't able to post every day, or if you miss a day, you can still participate! Use all 31 words in a post this month and you can still get a snazzy new custom title!

Notes:

• Each post can only have one word that "counts."
  
• That means if you have a single post and happen to include 5 words on the list, only one of those words can count for that post.
  
• That means you need a minimum of 31 posts this month!
  
• Plurals and word variants are allowed in consolation corner. :)
  

Icon and title prizes will be awarded to OOC accounts.
