Lemmy Scare You! - like nosleep, but better.

lemmy.world Lemmy Scare You! A community for sharing short scary stories. - Lemmy.world

Inspired by r/nosleep, but without the “Everything here is true” and “You can’t criticize the OP” rule. Post your scariest original short stories here. Rules are simple: 1. Be nice, criticize constructively, no name-calling. 2. No obvious AI generated stories, or other spam. 3. Everything posted her...

Nosleep was one of my favorite subreddits before the quality dropped and the stories there became frankly absurd. Since there's a lack of creative writing communities around, I thought I'd make one for fun.

So, if you have some pent-up creative energy from not being able to write stories on relationship_advice anymore, come try to scare your fellow lemmings here!

Fucking ingenious name for a spooky story community.
- All that reddit pun chain is good for something I guess.
Wow /r/nosleep ... that brings me back to 2011. Loved reading it until the quality inevitably turned to shit.
Nosleep was my favorite sub (at least in my top 7). There was great content there, even if you had to search for it a bit.

Nice to stumble across your community and I'm excited to see what I come across!
- Yes, glad to have you participate!
I also loved reading the short stories there for years. Your link gives me a 404 error btw tho
- It works fine on my end, but try the post link.
  
  The post link it's opening outside my browser, I use Jerboa.
  
  That worked, awesome! Unfortunately, I'm no writer so can't contribute much lol.
Beat me to it! Guess I can't create the same community twice in a row, huh?
- But you are welcome to contribute your own spooky story and thoughts there, as it should be a place that's welcoming to everyone, right?
