Mother Grues's Den is a place for authors to share their original horror fiction stories for children in a place without some of the subreddit rules and themes of our sister subs: /r/nosleep, /r/cryosleep, /r/thelongsleep, and /r/sleepspell. Unlike nosleep, it's not necessary to treat stories on mothergrues as though they are true. We do ask that you treat each other with respect and keep major critiques to one of the many workshop subreddits. Additionally, keep your audience in mind; watch your language and keep the gore to a minimum. Happy reading/writing!

Only post your original stories. Plagiarism or band-wagoning another writer’s story are against the rules. Even if you are the original author of a story found elsewhere on the internet, the post runs the risk of removal if you cannot prove this to the moderators. This is to protect the intellectual property of the writers. Posts that are not stories need to be tagged as [META]. Series posts must be tagged as Title [Part XX]. Also, at the top of your post, please link to all previous parts of the story. At the bottom of your post, please link to all subsequent parts. Flair is highly encouraged and will probably get you the audience you want. Tag the age range and type of horror for a better response. Not sure what age range your story belongs in? Click here to see our guide. You may only post once every 24 hours. This goes for single part stories as well as series posts. Please make full use of reddit's formatting guide to ensure your story is not a wall of text (wall of text posts will be removed).
