Here at Just About, we love fanfiction stories. In fact, this isn't even the first horror fanfiction bounty we've run. For Halloween 2023, we ran a horror fanfiction competition - Dead Space? - for Just About EVE Online. You can find the winning stories here. But now it's time for a decidedly more Victorian spin.

1. We're looking for stories between 500 and 1,200 words, or at least three minutes of video.

2. This is a tiered bounty with first, second, and third-place prizes. Winners will be judged on quality of writing, spookiness, and community reactions.

3. If you don't yet have a deep understanding of Nightingale's lore, it's okay to just use its setting and creatures as an inspiration.

Now all that's left to do is to write a story that would make Poe proud!

Task: Write or record a Nightingale-inspired fanfiction horror story

Format: Written or video
