forum challenge - october

[lostinthelightss]

hello hello! we are back for another monthly challenge!

the rules are simple - each of these tasks must be completed during this month - that means starting October 1 and ending October 31 in your time zone. reviews can be from anything (review swaps, review thread, review tag, review event, literally any reviews you leave), review responses can be left on any reviews regardless of when they were posted (but you have to respond to the reviews this month, they cannot be reviews you've already responded to), and recommendations should be posted as a blog (if you already have a rec blog, just yeet those right in there!). it's spooky season, so get those reviewing fingers ready for some creepy crawly times!!

the challenge:

• leave 10 reviews on stories tagged horror/dark
• respond to 10 reviews
• post 1 recommendation
• nominate 1 story for story of the month

the prize: ... the glory of completing a challenge? we'll be working behind the scenes to see what we can come up with, but likely a shoutout in the next bulletin, and maybe some extras as the months progress. if you complete all 12 challenges for every month this year, there may be something extra in it for you as well...  

as always, you can use the following to keep track of your progress, but this exact formatting is not required:
