Spooktober 2024
Spook up your world!Spooktober is back!
This month, we challenge you to answer spooky-themed prompts in any medium you want—worldbuilding, prose, art, music, origami... anything! You are free to interpret and adapt these prompts however you want. The goal is to have fun and expand your world!
Optional: celebrating 70 years of kaiju
2024 is the 70th anniversary of the first Godzilla movie, so we're celebrating with kaiju-themed prompts! If you want to join the celebration, you can theme your answers to giant monsters lurking or wreaking havoc in your world. This is totally optional, and just one fun way to interpret the prompts.The Prompts
Click on a prompt to write your response.

CREATE YOUR FREE ACCOUNTHow to enter
For each prompt, create something in any medium that relates to the prompt in any way (worldbuilding, art, poetry...). Then, insert your creation in a generic article and submit it using the panel on the right side of the article editor. You can theme your answers around kaiju (i.e. giant gozilla-like monsters), but you don't have to. Answer at least 13 prompts, and you'll get the badge!Rules
- Articles must be submitted before the closing time to be eligible (the challenge will close during the World Anvil livestream on October 26th).
- You may only submit one article per prompt (this does not mean one article per world, in cases where multiple authors work on a single world).
- For writing-based entries, there is no minimum or maximum wordcount. For other entries, there isn't any limitation either.
- Submit all of your articles by October 26th, or they will not be counted for the participation badge.
- World Anvil retains the right to arbitrate and/or change the rules where necessary to uphold the spirit and integrity of this event and the community. We will communicate changes as necessary.
- As always, World Anvil claims no ownership over your original work.
Other information
- All your submissions must be generic articles. If you submit non-written content, embed the content into your submission (learn how to use and embed images).
- Your submissions must be published (i.e. not drafts) and public (i.e. not private).
- You can answer multiple prompts with a single submission, but you will only get the badge if you submit 13 separate articles.
- If you're not sure if your idea fits a prompt, the answer is probably yes! The goal of the event is to challenge yourself, so go forth and worldbuild anything inspired by these prompts!
- You can submit articles in any language you want.
