Table of Contents
- Cold Opening, written by Joseph. Cinderella visits a toy shop.
- Chilling Compositions, written by Kris. Three macabre poems.
- Recurring Preternaturality, written by Joseph. Exactly one year after the events of Preternaturality and The Disastrous Dinner, melancholy Alice suffers lingering memories of the previous year. She receives an invitation from her family to a castle somewhere in unfamiliar territory, and two of her friends, Arthur and Hercules, decide to come along. This is a sequel to the first Preternaturality from Volume I.
- "Nightmare". A music video edited by Amanda.
- La Malinche y el Perico, written by Moony. The Three Caballeros—Donald, José Carioca and Panchito—encounter La Llorona of Mexican folklore.
If you are interested in contributing to Volume III (2009), here are the guidelines:
- The master of ceremonies is the Halloween Narrator. This enigmatic character is broad and vague enough for just about anyone to utilize. Of course, you are able to choose whether or not to use the Halloween Narrator to introduce your work.
- Halloween does not have to be directly referenced in your story, nor does your story have to take place during Halloween. However, your story has to be supernatural or eerie in some way. Not every story has to be horrific (i.e., your story can be a comedy with a Halloween theme).
- Stories and poems are allowed. There is no limit to how much you may contribute for one volume, but there’s no need to write more than two stories. (I’ve written two stories for Volume I, and they were tremendously tiring!)
- The maximum rating for a story is PG-13. You may write R-rated stories, but they won't be distributed by the Encyclopedia. For example, Joseph has an alternative ending to one of his stories that is gruesome and unavailable in the Encyclopedia, and is instead available upon request via instant messaging.
- Original characters are allowed in the stories, since the stories follow a continuity different from the FK RPG forum.
- Disney characters cannot be killed, akin to one of the FK RPG rules.
- Story length requirement: no shorter than 1,000 words and no longer than 20,000 words. 1,000 words is nothing! Also, introductions and conclusions from the Halloween Narrator are not included in the word count.
- There is currently no limit for poems, because they are much shorter than a story. Epic poems that rival The Odyssey in length are not advised!
- ALWAYS MAKE COPIES OF YOUR STORIES! Literally everyone who has contributed or started a story for A Fantasmic Kingdom Halloween—Joseph, Amanda, Kris and Moony—has had computer issues that resulted in lost files! It’s maddening and it happens far more often than one dreads! Every time you update your story’s progress, do yourself a favor and save another copy, whether on an external hard drive or even sent to yourself as an e-mail. It’s better to be safe than to be sorry, and don’t say I didn’t warn you!
At the current time, A Fantasmic Kingdom Halloween Volume I (2006) is available again!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN, EVERYBODY!
