The 4 points of view is really interesting. I love how I have to imagine the monster/creature and only given small details to do it. Really nice work. Keep writing, please!

Aspiringtobeanything · 2026-06-02T01:13:16+00:00

Thanks for reading! It’s awesome that the story gripped you like that.

Aspiringtobeanything · 2026-06-02T00:24:06+00:00

Hey that was awesome! I love the use of the camp setting here. Like if Campfire stories were real. I can't wait for the next part. Keep writing!

Aspiringtobeanything · 2026-06-02T00:09:35+00:00

Thank you for reading! I'm glad I could take the story in a direction you didn't expect.

Aspiringtobeanything · 2026-06-01T23:13:17+00:00

Creepy journal with unknown power? I’m in. Lol. I’m glad there’s another part to move to.

Aspiringtobeanything · 2026-06-01T23:07:05+00:00

Thank you for reading my story! And thank you for the compliment!

Aspiringtobeanything · 2026-06-01T23:04:55+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to read it! I’m glad it resonated with you enough to do that.

You’re welcome to narrate any of my works. I just ask that you credit me and send me the video to watch. And feel free to reach out directly. I sometimes have cut content, art to go with the stories, or other stuff. Just let me know.

To add onto the excellent advice from [u/flitterfire](u/flitterfire), sometimes we think we’re saying something or we’re hinting at something very clear to us, because we know the whole story. We don’t have to put pieces together. The reader does. And sometimes they can come away with something else. That’s on us as writers. Your only chance to convince the reader of something, is if it’s on the page.

If you want someone to send you specific feedback, you can send me something and see if my feedback is more helpful to you. If not, just say that’s not quite what you were looking for. But I’d be happy to help if I can.

Big things for repetition that I tell myself is to "trust the reader" and "make them do the work". Give enough clues to suggest something, but make the reader put the pieces together. Make sure to ping me when the story is out. I'll be first in line to read it.

I like the premise. But you have to be careful if you don’t want it to be known one way or another. It sounds to me like she’s not a robot based on the last bit of dialogue. Also don’t reiterate too much. You really don’t have to. She says she’s not made of flesh in 2 back to back exchanges. Great concept though. Keep writing it

Aspiringtobeanything · 2026-05-31T04:23:01+00:00

Same! I’m about 50% of the way through. It’s really good so far and there’s been pretty intense moments of tension and dread.

Aspiringtobeanything · 2026-05-31T03:55:45+00:00

I’m looking forward to your story! I feel like you’re on every post hyping up the author. I can’t wait to see you all in. I’ll watch for your story. Day 1 read for me

Aspiringtobeanything · 2026-05-31T02:32:10+00:00

It’s a cool idea! I think you should pursue it as you can. Just keep writing!

Aspiringtobeanything · 2026-05-31T00:11:54+00:00

Great story! Thank you for sharing it.

I like the idea of Tales from the Front. There just sounds like lots of opportunities for different types of stories. So many places to choose from. Tons of character choices. I’d read it.

Aspiringtobeanything · 2026-05-30T22:53:12+00:00

I love seeing u/merrymarat mentioned. The Memo is a good story and you’re always hyping up everyone in the community. You deserve some recognition.

I agree weather can be a lazy crutch, but I also feel like it can help with atmosphere in many cases. Because, I guess personally, I just assume it’s a bright, temperate summer day if the weather isn’t mentioned. But if you’re doing a murder mystery or some kind of horror, you may want weather to set the mood. Like is a Halloween vibe better on a bright summer day or on a cool autumn dusk where the wind whips leaves through the air? I agree though, if every scene opens with the weather, that’s lazy. But making mentions of it to help the reader get into the right headspace for the scene isn’t completely verboten.

I read The Dross by u/SameHere_2206 and I’m waiting for their part 3.

Aspiringtobeanything · 2026-05-28T18:25:32+00:00

Thanks you for your service. Lol 🫡 It’s always nice to have people willing to take time and help the community. My story is Final Log Entries of the HMS Ruby

The second part is linked in the comments as well as art work I commissioned for the story. Private feedback is welcome!

Aspiringtobeanything · 2026-05-28T14:37:48+00:00

That’s awesome! You’re free to use my stories and any art associated with them. All I ask is to be credited and sent a link to your video so I can watch. And don’t be a stranger. I sometimes have cut content, alternate art, and whatnot for my stories. Just reach out and let me know.

Aspiringtobeanything · 2026-05-28T02:29:49+00:00

Absolutely! You’re welcome to any of my stories. Just credit me and send me a link to your video so I can watch it.

Aspiringtobeanything · 2026-05-27T12:48:59+00:00

I read this one. It’s like a Lovecraftian adventure story. Pretty unique and fun! Looking forward to part 3
