!! The 92nd Spook-a-thon !!

WHAT IS IT?

Hello hello, friends, fiends, and spooky spooksters alike, it is the witching hour, and the time is near for you to whip out your keyboards and get a-typing. A little later than usual, we are presenting a very special SPOOK-A-THON - a halloween themed post-a-thon. What's different you say? Well, nothing. It's just the post-a-thon, but it's Halloween.

And indeed, you only have until the fabled day itself, when the clock strikes twelve on halloween, the post a thon shall end (Oct 31st 2022). We are allowing a little backlog from the 10th of October, to give a full four weeks worth of posting.

So get your pledges in, and here, on your old pal rook, have some spooky png pumpkins:

THE HOW-TO:

So how do you go about getting rich over night? Well, just sign up! Make your way to the Post-a-Thon board and make your official PAT-tracker thread if you haven't already. After, come back here and get ready to make your pledge! You must pledge a minimum word count in the season's PAT thread to officially sign up.

The minimum pledge word count starts off at 5,000 in-character words. That's right, you're officially 5,000 words away from being $5,000 dollars richer! No OOC posts will count towards this minimum pledge, nor will posts with any active tribute characters. This is to encourage an even playing field for all participates! Starting with the 78th post-a-thon, your pledge must be made up of at least 50% in-thread rp posts; this means specifically non-bio posts.

Your thread tacker must include the following, or you will be disqualified:
¤ Link to each in character thread.
¤ Word count tallied per post.
¤ Date from which you are counting! This is critical if you are counting posts from an existing thread.

THE BEST PART - WINNING:

Everyone who meets their minimum goal by the October 31st 2022 will be awarded $5,000 AND a CB! How's that for hitting the target?

The writer with the highest post count will be awarded an additional $10,000!! Look at all those zero's! The winning writer will be eligible for a PAT Record Banner with a winning total of 40k words, members may only have one PAT record banner at a time.

Most importantly, you win: clout! Once you win, you get your name added to this list of icons:
