100 Days of Halloween Happy Multiple Prompts

[spiralicious]

I have been trying to figure out how to finish this up without flooding people's reading cirlces and I think I've landed on something that will work well for me and not take over your reading circles.

While I wasn't able to post many prompts, I did write many of them out by hand to be posted later. Many of them are extremely short, but I don't like the idea of doing one post with a ton of prompts in it, especially as I have a master post prepped to link to all finished prompts when I am done. What I've decided to do instead is to put up this post. In the body of the post I will list a prompt and maybe a brief description of what I did for the prompt (ex. "craft project" or "TV show reaction"), and I will put the prompt fill in a comment on this post. That way, I can still link to individual fills on the master post, I can put up fills as I find them, and no one's reading circle gets flooded. Longer fills will still get their own posts and some fills are actually fics that will be going up on AO3 - which is why there will be a master post after I get everything posted.

However, it doesn't look like I will get all 100 prompts posted by the end of the year as I had hoped and I am thinking about not doing this challenge next year, as I have tried multiple years now and it's just too difficult for me. Makes me a little sad, but probably for the best.

HHday 89: out of this world

I debated what to talk about for this one, but then I realized a staple of my Halloween season is my alien head. I used to use it as dish for giving out candy, but it's a bad shape for it, but I do try to incorporate it somehow every year. It's a classic, green alien head that is slightly larger than an adult human head. It's hollow because it was originally a store display for Alien Pops. It also has the top of it's head as a lid and removable Alien Pops sign.

I have no idea if alien pops still exist. They were a candy in the 90s and you see alien head displays on ebay and similar places sometimes, but I got mine as a child/preteen. I cannot remember what store I was in with my mother, it was some place we almost never went, and at the register was the alien head display with candy in it and a sign for a raffle. They were raffling off the alien head when the candy ran out. I thought it was cool, but wasn't going to enter because I had convinced myself that I wouldn't win, and if I did win, my mother wouldn't let me have it, but shockingly, she talked me into entering. Weeks later, we got the phone call that I had in fact won and its been one of my prize possessions since, though I have no space to display it most of the year.
