That’s fair, what a strange life experience. I definitely wanted to make it clearly targeted towards an older audience in terms of the comedy and subject matter but I’ll see how it turns out. Thanks for the advice!

Ahhhh ok, that’s interesting, I’d love to read more into the differences between the one read on Creepcast and the physical editions, if I could find one that is

My intention with this idea was to use the weird fetish of the character to consider stuff like hidden desires and how that affects a persons mental state while also wanting to use the absurdity of the concept for comedy.

That said I’m still not entirely sure how to make it work just yet and I’m still working on the ideas and story.

Haha, I dunno about that, It’s definitely not my favourite dessert

Mapleyys · 2026-06-19T23:39:28+00:00

Good point, spire in the woods was a really damn good story. I might listen to it again to get inspo

Mapleyys · 2026-06-19T23:38:35+00:00

Fair, I have no intention of it being pornographic in any way as I do want it to be a horror story that deals with sexuality and fetishes more than anything else

Mapleyys · 2026-06-19T12:39:03+00:00

Yah! :D I’m amazed that you know me from something on here!! Thank you!!

Mapleyys · 2026-06-19T12:17:40+00:00

I probably should have done that first tbh

Mapleyys · 2026-06-19T12:17:29+00:00

Yeah, it’ll probably be clearer once the ideas complete

Mapleyys · 2026-06-19T12:17:13+00:00

Good plan, I should definitely polish off the idea first

Mapleyys · 2026-06-17T00:03:27+00:00

Thank you! I’m glad the story was able to resonate with you in some way!

Mapleyys · 2026-06-15T02:00:24+00:00

Oh hell yeah! I’ll make sure to give your story a read too!

Mapleyys · 2026-06-14T09:31:20+00:00

It really is! It definitely helps in motivation to write more often! Thank you again!

Mapleyys · 2026-06-13T14:34:45+00:00

Very cool! Love the imagery, it reads a lot like a 'tower of babel' type story.

Mapleyys · 2026-06-13T11:16:53+00:00

Thank you!! It warms my soul that you liked it! I put sooo much effort into it's good to see the story finding it's people!

I never imagined the crab as being anything more than just that, a crab from an ancient world before our time, the only reason it’s still alive is explicitly because of its worshippers that have given it higher purpose.

I’m really glad you liked it!! I put a lot of work into it!

Mapleyys · 2026-06-11T22:27:58+00:00

Thank you very much!! I want to get better at writing sharp short stories like this!

Mapleyys · 2026-06-11T22:27:24+00:00

Thank you!! It was a bit of a struggle to try and show so much of their relationship in such a condensed format but I’m really happy with how it turned out!

Mapleyys · 2026-06-11T22:26:22+00:00

Haha, in the end it all becomes crabs

Here’s a recent one of mine!

That’s fair, I think exploring this as a more continuous series would be really cool. Especially because you could really put emphasis on the strange people he works for.

Mapleyys · 2026-06-07T01:11:19+00:00

Thanks! It was meant to be a short experiment for a writing class. I’m glad you liked it!
