Quoth the Raven: Volume 20 Now Open

[ScS of the Fraternity]

As the winter snows retreat into the boggy earth, a dark stain is revealed. The ill omens spread and soon there is no denying the foul taint that clings to every sunset. From the forgotten corners of man's domain, evil takes wing once more, spreading chaos and bedlam wherever its shadow falls.

The Fraternity of Shadows is now accepting submissions for the 20th instalment of Quoth the Raven, Ravenloft's most unlucky annual netbook.

As always, we are looking for anything related to Ravenloft, Masque of the Red Death, or horror in general. In honour of 2013, the most unlucky year of the millennia, our theme will be Bad Luck.
So spread the misery and submit your article to your friendly local member of the FoS.
And remember, if it weren’t for bad luck, you’d have no luck at all.

I'm loving Quoth the Raven. I'm going to have to think of something cool to send in to this. Now to finish catching up on all the other QtRs!

[Jimsolo]

Bad Luck, huh?

As Deep Thought said, "Hmmm...tricky..."

[Kadarin]

As if it wasn't bad luck enough to be in Ravenloft in the first place...
k.

Weren't there submission guidelines somewhere?

[alhoon]

If we submit early, can we have Peer review? I'm writting something now but I'm not sure it's up to the standards and I could use the help of someone giving the entry a reading and pointing out revisions.

I think the closest we have to submission guidelines is ScS's post here:

These are from 2007... before even 4th edition came to be, and we're about to hit 5th edition.

[Joël of the FoS]

It does mention 4th ed, doesn't it?

Question: When's the deadline for this?

Question: When's the deadline for this?

Traditionally, I think we've said September 30th or October 1st. So.... somewhere around there?

[Zilfer]

I just can't find a muse to sumbit anything. xD I woudl like to contribute but when i go to think of anything nothing comes. xD like writer's block to tell you the truth xD.

[Gonzoron of the FoS]

Just do what I've done... take something from your campaign you're proud of and clean it up for others to use.
