    The Cold Letters Event

    Welcome to

    COLD LETTERS...
    Cold Letters Event.
    Cold Letters is the name of our competition/contest/event to come up with interesting/entertaining/fun compositions of phrases using the Lovecraftian Letters magnetic words kit from Innsmouth House.

    The rules are fairly simple, simply compose a phrase to your liking and post a picture of it in this thread!

    1) You are allowed two entries (they don't have to be posted at the same time).
    2) Your second entry (if you want) can be "no holds barred" - i.e. you can use the Lovecraftian Letters set along with any other magnet sets/fridge magnets you can find to create anything at all.

    Courtesy of Hippocampus Press (and YSDC) there are *eight* prizes up for grabs which include:
    • A copy of the CD-ROM of HPL Collected Essays
    • A copy of HPL's Letters to Alfred Galpin
    • A copy of HPL's Letters to Rheinhart Kleiner
    • A copy of the Lovecraft Annuals 1, 2, 3 & 4
    • A proof copy of Ramsey Campbell's Inhabitant of the Lake and Other Unwelcome Tenants - since the title of the competition is a spin-off of the re-printed anthology of this (Cold Print)
    The deadline for entry is 31st December, 2011. After which eight entries will be selected by YSDC. (Max. of one prize per person.) We'd like to retain the right the re-publish any entries for possible promotional purposes, so feel free to take part on that understanding.

    We're listing it as more of an "event" than a competition. Have fun, be as creative as you like and take the opportunity to entertain your fellow Yoggies with your dark wisdom!

    So what's on your fridge?

    Thank you, Yoggie Patrons | YSTV Video Channel | The Express Diaries - fundraiser/pre-order NOW!

    And where should we post assemblages we think are fun but not "event"-worthy? The original announcement thread?

    That's probably a good place.

    Perhaps put them behind a "Spoiler" tag so people who don't want to be influenced in their compositions don't see them so easily.

    Thanks! And I don't see why not. Then again, I don't see how I'd find out about it if I withheld my permission and you used it anyway.

    Here is my first entry, using only Lovecraftian Letters. The next one will not have a gibbous moon or witches in it (maybe).
