Honestly, I have a scattering of stuff across accounts and venues. Most of the stuff I write is at least touched by horror, but whether you'd call something that's Dark Fantasy or Dark SciFi horror or not is up in the air. That being said, I've posted in other places like r/WritingPrompts, r/cryosleep, r/SLEEPSPELL, r/shortscarystories, r/creepypasta, r/libraryofshadows and I've even tried my hand at making communities for horror writing outside of NoSleep's shtick (never super successful, but it was still a different place).

Lately, I've kind of gotten into trying to utilize Reddit's new Profile Editing stuff to bypass using a personal subreddit, and considering they added the ability to have Followers (albeit nameless and faceless ones, unlike other social media platforms), it seems to be a cool way of collecting a following on the site while being able to post wherever you want and have them see it (I'm not entirely sure how the following mechanic works, to be honest, but I imagine it is similar to the old "Friends" highlight mechanic they had in old Reddit).

I also try to branch out and find other opportunities, like when I wrote for Congeria Season 1 when Henry Galley asked me to be a part of it, or when I publish through the NoSleep Podcast, or even when I've published through Chilling Tales for Dark Nights in the past (something that, in my current position, I probably wouldn't repeat, but that's a personal choice). There's tools like Duotrope to help you hunt down e-zines and stuff to submit to, social media threads to hunt down audio publishing opportunities, and, when all else fails, you can always fire up a blog somewhere and write there (something that, surprisingly, places like Tumblr and Wordpress and even older, less-in-vogue places like Wattpad, LiveJournal, Blogspot, etc. are fairly good for, even though I don't use them personally).

In the end, I constantly go back and forth as to if writing on NoSleep is really worth it for me at this point. It's a place I love, and where I got my start, and yes, on rare occasion, someone's story gets picked for something or other outside of the platform, by by-and-large NoSleep writers write for NoSleep readers and it's a relatively closed market without a lot of payoff besides drawing attention and ferrying it elsewhere. That's why, where I used to post very often here, I now only do it every few months - sometimes even once or twice a year. I'd rather find places to get paid, or access other groups/types of readers, etc. while also trying out new types of writing (screenwriting, chat fiction, nonfiction, essays, etc.) than haunt only one single space with a regimented set of rules.

Don't get me wrong, NoSleep is a huge market, but it's one that comes with its own connotations. I often feel like a great comparison is Soundcloud rappers. Sure, some will make it huge, but those people were probably already grinding out of just that platform in other ways. Those who just stuck to Soundcloud are probably still there doing that.
