Why 1 1/5 ounces of Bourbon? seems a little too specific... (translated from metric?)

Wow. So original. And funny. 

This happened when I was around 13 or 14. My dad had recently passed away, so it was just me, my mom, and my 5-years-younger brother. After my dad died, my mom became really adamant about always keeping the doors locked all the time, even though we lived in a safe, quiet neighborhood in a safe, quiet Alaskan town. I…

Oh no...

ha!!! I remember the Scary Stories comment sections of 2015 and 16 had a bunch of those, and as you and I both agree, they have not aged well.

I’m not surprised. Even Manson had his groupies.

Seriously! I submitted a story for the first time this year because I genuinely did have something freaky happen a few weeks ago. It’s one paragraph, people. ONE!

this is the only post i read and comment on. i am ok with being the grey ghost lady. but yes, i remember when this was fun...

I just misplaced the “this will be important,” but it was on my mind! And honestly, I don’t know. I wish all these people would go back to Creepy Pasta or wherever. Their stories are not even impressive. If you want to write fiction, at least pay attention to the blog post genre and try to make it sound like a real…

You forgot to include the line after the unnecessary description of the house layout “This will be very important later, trust me.”

THIS. Also the ones that start out “I’ve had a lot of haunted experiences in my life, so here’s a novel summarizing 50 of them!”

PICK ONE and give us a well-written, yet brief, story!

“Without a Whisper”

Seriously. I will NOT be ungraying your titled fictional pieces. Or the ones that are just...obviously overwrought/adjectivey creative posts.

The real creeps in your story were the jerks who ditched you! What kind of people just leave a mom and child to deal with someone like that?!

Like, some of them actually give their stories titles at the start. :/

Word. This is not writers workshop lol. Although I do appreciate the finely edited and reworked BRIEF ones.

For real. Nobody cares about the layout of the house, and it will NOT “be important, later”.

And remember: longer isn’t better, guys, pretty pls keep the unnecessary detail to a minimum kthnxbai

Ahhhhh so freaking excited! I really need this, people.

AAAAA I *live* for these every year, even though oftentimes they creep me all the way out. Can’t wait to see this years’ submissions (except the inevitable dullards who think it’s witty to post some half-assed thing about Trump).
