The Nightmare Before Christmas Contest

From the wicked minds of the Darkest Temptations and Jasper's Naughty Girls blogs we bring you one seriously twisted contest. Ho, Ho, Ho…

Deck the Halls… Edward and Bella kissing under the mistletoe… Rose and Emmett sipping hot chocolate by the old Tannenbaum. Can’t you just smell the chestnuts roasting?  No, well good, because you’re in the wrong place if that’s what you seek.

We want to explore the dark, nasty, grim side of the holiday season. We want your one shot to feature a Grinch-like Cullen. He should be sinister and evil; the darker the better. Oh, and let’s not forget the Femmes because we all know hell hath no fury like a woman scorned during the holiday season.
