[Project] Duck Hot Pot Halloween [Call for Entries]

Adults want to enjoy Halloween, too.

Trick or treat.

Halloween is approaching. To be precise, it is an event more than a month away, and while there are various histories behind it, such as ancient Celtic rituals or the conspiracies of confectionery companies, this is Japan. A land of festivals.

I wonder if there is such a thing as Halloween on note. It seems likely that there are calls for articles about Halloween, but no, that's not it. I want a Halloween party, but I don't hear any talk of that.

If there is no party, why not create one?

Well, this is likely the first costume contest on note.

Let's dress up, write an article, and put a punchline at the end of the text with "Trick or Treat."

Once gathered in a dedicated magazine, it will surely be a Halloween party venue.

The content can be either reality or fiction.
I am anticipating around 2000 characters, but shorter is fine. Media other than text is also OK, but I would like it to be something that can be enjoyed in roughly 5 minutes.

Competing on fun, strangeness, and Halloween-ness seems like it would be fun.

The deadline is... let's see, Friday the 13th would be good.
