Here is my
Spooktober 2022 contest page.
I got seventeen prompts so far. Since two of them are stories I wrote years ago before World Anvil existed, it might not count, but I have 15 other entries and 15 > 13.
Most of the entries are in my main fantasy world of Scarterra but a couple of them are part of my Warhammer Fantasy fanfiction, which are clearly marked.
I'm sort of winging it. Sometimes I right a vaguely Halloween themed article then find a category. A few times I deliberately wrote an article based one of the key words. I'm planning to keep writing till the deadline sporadically but I'm not seriously aiming to get all 31 prompts.
So far I'm most proud of my Portrait entry which has spawned some spin-off articles such as my Abandoned entry and the Echoes entry. I probably continue to reference Dyrick Mykrrún in other articles long after Spooktober is over.
