In accordance with the law, I, C. D. Johnson, otherwise known by my nom de plume, Seedy, do hereby announce my intentions to submit my work before the consigliere, so that I may be judged on the merit of my skills fairly and with due process, else my head be forfeit to failing to materialize my intentions.
I was just going to write, “I’m in”, but there is a 20-character limit, or something.

First draft done, 3,340 words; now to leave it to simmer for a while and come back and tighten it up.

Oooh, (make that a very long, spooky “ooooooooh”), I’m in!
There’s a floorboard in my house that regularly creaks and we’ve always wondered why. Now is my chance to establish the truth!

Hey Rog, I haven’t participated in NiaD for a long, long time, but I’m game for this one. Count me in.

Excellent! And with @Catrad we hit 50 participants!! 
How many stories are in? You ready for the initial pamphlet for those of us that want to start reading now?
4 have been submitted so far – there’s a tally in the second post of the thread (which is also a good place for people for people to check that their story haes been received – alongside the all important confirmation email, of course).
No sneak peaks!
If you’re twiddling your thumbs and eager for more, can I suggest adding a ghost haiku to the thread?!
Because it’s a slow day at work and I had an extra cp of coffee…
Less ghost more ghostly
Once I lived my life
Thinking there would be more time
Now I watch worms feast
More ghost, less ghostly
You bought my old house
Only memories of me
Shall be allowed here

Hi! This sounds like fun and I’d love to take part. I’ve never written a ghost story before so this will be an interesting challenge…
I like the fact that this time we know the genre in advance, and have time to prepare and write our stories. Previous NIAD’s were so stressful!

Yeah, we’re going for a different vibe this year with little less stress all round! I’ve added you to the list!

Hey everyone, we now have 5 stories in!
How is everyone doing?
I mean, this is a trick question, right? Can’t find my pants. All my shoes are mismatched. The wife is shaking her head at me. But worst of all.. THE RUM IS ALL GONE!!!
