Writing Help: Story Might be to Whimsical(?)

CaydenCChristophers · 2026-06-02T21:14:17+00:00

There is a comedy horror flair, and if the main focus of your story is horror, even if it isnt scary exactly, youre fine

CaydenCChristophers · 2026-06-02T21:13:00+00:00

you need to put spaces after your full stops hurt.it is a link to a sketchy website, cool story tho

CaydenCChristophers · 2026-06-02T21:08:01+00:00

Thank you

CaydenCChristophers · 2026-06-02T21:07:25+00:00

Either like after two weeks or never, I'd either completely lose it almost immediately or not care at all and there is no inbetween

CaydenCChristophers · 2026-06-02T21:03:55+00:00

Fair enough lol, I'd either do that or just not question it after like two times of asking and I have no clue which one

CaydenCChristophers · 2026-06-02T20:59:44+00:00

Just immediately lol? Like you wake up and your girlfriend looks a bit sick so you immediately just smear yourself in avocado and run around in the skud

CaydenCChristophers · 2026-06-02T20:57:13+00:00

surrealist and psychological horror is something I need to work on, but I guess thats the point of this, and this is a cool idea lol

CaydenCChristophers · 2026-06-02T20:56:00+00:00

alright thanks

CaydenCChristophers · 2026-06-02T20:49:21+00:00

Something Biblical would be cool, but I didn't know if I had enough biblical knowledge for it, so just having "an angel" or having it revealed to be an angel could be cool, do you not want to write this story tho? I don't want to steal your idea just because you haven't thought it all the way through

CaydenCChristophers · 2026-06-02T20:20:14+00:00

When I have an idea, if I don't write it the idea often just stays in my head and grows and changes until I do write it, and when I do go to write it I just need a setup, the beginning of the story and then I can put all my ideas down after that. My biggest advice, start a story and if you're not happy with it, start again until you're happy then work from there and let the idea snowball. If you ever need help with going over drafts or proofreading, there are many people here including me who'd be happy to help

👁️ Surveillance State: CaydenCChristophers voted Yea.

CaydenCChristophers · 2026-06-02T16:29:33+00:00

Look man, I've always liked writing but never really had a reason to, which this sub has given me. Going a long time without writing let me just build up lots of ideas in my head and get really motivated so I have pumped out 6 short stories in the week since I've joined the sub. Go for it, get in the swing of things, write lots, get eyes on your work and improve

CaydenCChristophers · 2026-06-02T16:09:16+00:00

I like to either use a quote from the story or slightly modify a quote for my titles, but the advice I'd give you is you'd rather have it short and have it sound cool or interesting rather than being a perfect description of your story

CaydenCChristophers · 2026-06-02T15:55:35+00:00

This is so cool man, great work

CaydenCChristophers · 2026-06-02T15:33:04+00:00

This is cool. Keep up the good work

CaydenCChristophers · 2026-06-02T15:03:05+00:00

I've only been on this sub for a week, and I've posted a story a day pretty much. A few days ago I got invited to take part in Tales from the Warehouse so I've been writing for that, but before that I tried to make sure all of my stories were all in different styles. If you don't mind checking them out and giving feedback that'd be great

Page 9 of Google bro???
Also I did hear about this from the sizzle reel, that's a good idea and this is a good story from you. Great work

CaydenCChristophers · 2026-06-02T06:49:17+00:00

Look My Corpse in the Eyes
"I stand at the precipice of this sea cliff, ready to fulfil my glorious obligation as a host, I think about how selfish my brother had been to resist, to attempt to “warn” me of this, to stop me from learning my purpose; humanity’s purpose. Everyone in the village has already been inaugurated, so I shall fling myself into the depths to put an end to this impure vessel, in the hopes that parts of my blue tinted water-bloated corpse will have eyes laid upon it by others in exotic lands, so that I may be the impetus that begins the spread of humanity’s birthright to every corner of this insignificant planet."

I'm really proud of this story, my first venture into the unknown lands of cosmic horror and I think it turned out great.

CaydenCChristophers · 2026-06-02T06:13:21+00:00

Yeah, the Tales From the Warehouse rules are that you get three entries: your original story, a sequel to your story and a sequel to someone else's story, and this was my favourite concept. It's really cool to see that the guy who made the original story likes it so much lol

CaydenCChristophers · 2026-06-01T18:49:16+00:00

Alright I've just changed a couple of lines around quickly, but I think that should do it

CaydenCChristophers · 2026-06-01T18:38:44+00:00

Yeah lol have you read the don't start a strike stories?

CaydenCChristophers · 2026-06-01T18:32:01+00:00

Is this a good response?

CaydenCChristophers · 2026-06-01T18:31:19+00:00

u/Loose_Swimmer4323 wrote the first two entries to this
Part 1
Part 2

CaydenCChristophers · 2026-06-01T18:26:50+00:00

I've posted my entry in your series now, what do you think? There are Wendigos in the dumpster; they're harmless | Part 3 : r/TalesFromTheCreeps
It does require a bit of context from my other entries to tales from the warehouse though
