Elements of Horror Put into Practice

Okay, didn't see this until "someone" pointed it out to me. 
I'm seriously thinking about taking this seriously. Seriously.
Very interesting idea, Soapy. I think it gives people a choice if they want to participate in a monthly challenge, but not wanting to start another short story. But I'm also glad that the prompts will go on just in case someone wants to do them.
I'm interested in seeing how this all comes together and works out.

*trips on tail, falls down*

I wanna play too!
Hey, despite what the little chihuey said, this is not about me. This was Soapy's idea, and a well-executed one. Let's try and stay on track with that.
Also, the little undead doggie really likes it when you put cilantro in his kibbles.

Point taken, but I'm not torturing a fellow cilantro-hater for you. I ain't touchin' that stuff.
It's like parsley, folks, only with more flavor. Or dill. Or any other green seasoning for that matter.
Sheesh. Unreasonable lot, aren't you?
Cilantro - an herb used by the gods on Mt Olympus.
- an exquisite flavoring added to fried garlic & onions
- something no taco should ever be served without
- the key ingredient in fish tacos
- a delightful addition to any soup, stew, or chili
- a wonderful replacement for chives on baked potatoes

People want to do it!I'll post the first elements to work on tomorrow. Something like "March Elements of Horror". I'll put out 2 options. Hopefully at least one of them will work for everyone who is interested so far. If not, there is always future months.
Maybe one of the options should be "horror in the kitchen" so certain doggies can work through their seasoning phobias.

Okay, the March thread is open.
I point to this thread for people to reference for the "rules" or whatever. But I was also thinking that we could use this one to post ideas for future "elements" to practice. That way, whoever is chosen to pick the elements for the following months has a place to get ideas, you know, in case they are tapped out. Does that make sense?
If people post their ideas periodically, I'll combine them and list them all together in the top post for ease of reference.

If it's cool if gross newbies join this sounds pretty awesome. And horrific. Otherwise, I'd still love to see what people come up with.

Just placed a scene from Third Pulse here,
http://www.absolutewrite.com/forums/showthread.php?p=7089212#post7089212
It's a partial, but it's where the protagonist Max aka Cavalry finally gets to meet his arch enemy face-to-face and is intentionally about a third of the way into the book.

I have a beginning and the first run into the baddie to be looked at...
*can't believe she said that out loud*
I haven't post anything in SYW in a while.
*cringes*
I'll have it up by this afternoon.
Yes.
Absolutely.
