Get ready for a killer blogfest!
Deana Barnhart (she brought us Gearing Up to Get an Agent Blogfest this past July) and I are co-hosting KILLER CHARACTERS BLOGFEST!
The theme is, you guessed it, Killer Characters! Is there a hero who's haunted your dreams? How about a lower-than-dirt bad guy who's made your skin crawl? Or a spunky sidekick who's stolen your heart? Tell us about them!
Join us in three challenges:
1) Oct 24 post about your favorite literary supporting character
2) Oct 26 post about your favorite literary protagonist
3) Oct 28 post about your favorite literary antagonist
All entires should be 250 words maximum, but you may use all the pictures you'd like.
Choose characters you feel strongly about. They don't all have to be evil—though seeing how it's Halloween, malevolent characters are welcome—but they should be killer (AKA awesome, incredible, terrifying, formidable, etc.). Note: The characters you choose should be famous literary characters. For instance, the Ugly Stepsisters (supporting), Batman (protagonist), and the Wicked Witch of the West (antagonist). Then write concise, clear, and convincing entries. Explain why your characters are the best!
To encourage you to join, we have three killer prizes. We're giving away Elana Johnson's book, POSSESSION, to the third prize winner. The runner-up will receive a 5-page critique from Elana herself, and the winner will receive a 10-page critique from Elana!
Deana and I will judge the contest. The winners will be announced November 2nd.
To participate you must be a follower of my blog and Deana's blog. Sign-up in the linky below and leave your e-mail address in a comment. Then grab the button in the sidebar and post it on your blog to identify yourself. The week of the challenges, blog-hop to read and comment on the other entries. Killer Characters Blogfest is going to be a scream!

I'm with Shelley - this sounds like an awesome fest, but I'll have to think about it before I sign up. Is that totally wimpy, or what?
This fest sounds like a lot of fun! adelycea@hotmail.com
Awww, this is gonna be a blast! Especially with two of my fav. girls running it! I already have some ideas for my protagonist-though it will probably change a million times before the blogfest, 'cause yeah, that's how I roll!
