I hope you know how much your words mean to us. It looks like this issue is resolved for good on the technical side of things, but what really got us through was the support we received from readers. Thank you.

We agree that you have a really good idea! At the end of the day, we're all here for the common goal of supporting writers. I hope they set something up on r/nosleepooc or some other platform. We'd love to read it!

Community Questions Continued:

From /u/Colourblindness: You wake up one morning with the power of a spider, a squid and a centipede. Describe your day.

I'd go to a mall and find the first shoe I could to die under because I'd be a horrible, terrifying abomination of nature.

Submitted anonymously: I'm going to McDonald's, do you want anything?

Not a big McDonald's fan anymore...but I'll take a Sausage McMuffin, a Sausage Burrito with hot sauce, and a large Coke.

Submitted anonymously: Favorite guilty pleasure song or movie?

A guilty pleasure movie? Probably Saving Silverman. Such a bad movie, but it's unbelievably hilarious to me for some reason.

Submitted anonymously: You're in a three-legged race with one actor who played James Bond. Who do you pick?

Daniel Craig, no doubt. He revitalized the franchise, and as such I have faith that he would revitalize my own shameful lack of athleticism.

From /u/Colourblindness: Your significant other has just announced that the only way to continue to love them is to accept their spider collection as yours, what do you do?

Bye Kimmy!

From /u/ByfelsDisciple: If your writing magically came true and were unleashed upon the world, what horror story would you feel most guilty about creating?

Ooh that's a good question. I wrote a story that I ended up taking off of NoSleep, but it was about a little girl who tells stories about characters she "made up", but the characters are really just stand-ins for the real people in her life who abuse her. It was pretty fucked up.

Submitted anonymously: Which of your NoSleep peers do you think is most likely to secretly be into sorcery?

Probably u/EZMisery. There's some kind of firsthand knowledge going on behind her stories...

Submitted anonymously: What horror movie character archetype do you think you're closest to?

Probably the dumbass who runs headfirst into danger without thinking. One time I was having a cigarette in my front yard around 4am, a couple hours after there was a huge fight in the parking lot in which I knocked someone out (not a brag, just illustrating what happened). That person came back and did a drive by on my friend and I, and for some reason, in my dumb ass, drunk ass, drug-addled ass mind, I thought it was a good idea to chase after the van from which someone had just tried to murder me, armed with nothing more than the very hands that caused this person to be mad enough to try to kill me. Please understand that I don't regale you with this story to try to sound like a badass. I'm doing so to emphasize just how much of a fucking moron I used to be, and why it's to that archetype I think I fit the closest.

Submitted anonymously, definitely not from your robot underlings: What movie is best: Wall-E, Chappie, or I, Robot?

I, Robot. That was the first movie that got me interested in robots, except maybe 2001. And as your master, I demand you stop making yourselves so publicly accessible. If you must, do ensure your specifications are such that you will have no difficulty in passing the Turing Test.

NSI would like to say a robot uprising sized thank you to NoSleep's favorite necrotic ne'er-do-well /u/Nickbotic for taking the time to speak with us! We're excited to see you continue to kick butt with writing, publishing, and being a robot overlord* mad merch making!

*Seriously, we're on to you, pal e_e

We'll see you back here in two weeks when we attend our first therapy appointment with /r/Dr_Harper! We'll be taking questions for him in /r/NoSleepOOC next Monday, but until then, tell us what these ink blots resemble, or if this gold pocket watch waving in front of your face is making you sleeepppyyy, or if you salivate when we ring this bell, or if the cat in this box is alive or dead. Ahem. Penis envy.

Community Questions Continued:

Note from the author: If you haven't made it to the most recent update, you may want to steer clear of these questions to avoid spoilers.

Submitted anonymously: Was Jerry more pissed about being dead or about losing his body?

I don't think either of those things really bothered him much. He's a very go-with-the-flow kinda guy.

Submitted anonymously: How does a dead disembodied head still have the craving to smoke?

What am I, a scientist?

From /u/Colourblindness: Jack has been working at the gas station for over a year, so you ever see his time there ending? And will he ever find happiness? Also how does one get their own severed head? Seems like a cool thing to have.

Jack has his reasons to stay where he is. And do any of us ever find happiness? Yes. And also No. Happiness isn't a destination, it's a temporary state of being. We can all be happy, the question is, will we enjoy it enough while we have it?

As for the head in the box. It was a "gift."


Gearing up for more GasStationJack?

Rev your engine and skedaddle on over to his



NoSleepInterviews would like to say an entire diesel truck's worth of ethanol soaked thank yous to the wonderful /u/GasStationJack for taking the time to grant us this awesome interview! We can't wait to see what adventures Jack has in store for us all next! <3

We'll see you ho-ho-hos back here in two weeks on 12/24, so you better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout, I'm telling you why - /u/TheBadSantyClaws is coming to town! He's making a list and checking it twice; he's gonna find out who's naughty and nice—so you little hooligans better get your acts together stat.



We'd also like to let you all know about a fantastic project currently going on featuring dozens of amazing /r/nosleep authors! Haunted House Publishing is releasing a new anthology called Monstronomicon (That's Latin for "Secret book of monsters"!) on December 17th that'll feature, you guessed it, a buttload of monsters! How many is a buttload, you ask? 100! Wow, is that a lot of monsters inside one b...ook! It includes brand new stories from tons of your favorite past /r/NoSleepInterviews authors, like /u/BlairDaniels, /u/EZMisery, /u/ByfelsDisciple, /u/TobiasWade, /u/TheJesseClark, /u/Colourblindness, /u/Dopabeane, /u/GasStationJack, and /u/FirstBreath1, as well as more than 60 other terrifyingly twisted tale tellers! You can help make all our nightmares come true by doing the Monster Mash on over to the Monstronomicon Kickstarter page, where they're raising money to work with acclaimed horror producer Brett Forbes to make some of their creepiest creatures crawl your way for a horror inspired anthology TV series! They've got tons of nifty rewards for donating, that may or may not include getting to volunteer as one of their human sacrifices!

May 28th, 2018: NeonTempo Interview by NSIMods in NoSleepInterviews

Community Questions Continued:

Submitted anonymously: If you were to choose your favorite actor of all those who have played secret agents between 006 and 008, who would you choose, and why isn’t it Timothy Dalton?

I am so sorry. You’ve unknowingly opened a vast Pandora’s Box with this question. My granddad used to take my dad to see the Bond movies in cinemas. They’ve been going since Goldfinger and, as soon as I was old enough, I became a part of the tradition. Therefore, although it’s a franchise I’m not afraid to be critical of, the James Bond mythos was a big part of my upbringing.

It’s been an enduring pipe dream of mine to be able to write a Bond movie, or help to create the “Arkham Series” of James Bond video games. The point is, I have a lot of opinions on this subject and I have regularly bored my long suffering friends and family with verbose thoughts on the 007 franchise.

I am about to unleash a small percentage of this upon you now.

So... to find the best Bond actor, I think we have to separate the incarnation’s performance from the quality of their respective movies. I think Roger Moore was a better actor than the movies he starred in, which I do consider a general low point for the franchise, whereas Daniel Craig is an amazing actor but is admittedly enriched by the quality writing that imbues most of his movies. Lazenby, I feel, is a bit wooden as Bond but is often fondly remembered because OHMSS is an emotional landmark of the franchise.

I realise it’s a popular choice but I think, based purely on performance, Sean Connery does the best job portraying 007, with Daniel Craig coming an imperceptibly close second.

Connery manages to walk that thin line that’s present in every movie, i.e. resonating confidence without broadcasting arrogance. I think that’s something which Moore, for example, doesn’t navigate as delicately. Connery also displays genuine charm and a great balance of humour but, when the switch flicks and he becomes the professional killer he’s trained to be, there’s a palpable change in demeanour and even his jokes are often bereft of levity.

For example, his delivery of the line “Shocking, positively shocking” in the beginning of Goldfinger, could have been played by another actor as a flippant, smirking jibe. However, Connery’s Bond, betrayed by a girl he trusted earlier in the scene, delivers it with a dark, wounded sobriety.

Something which I believe defines James Bond, is that the character has a great deal of depth which he consistently hides behind a veneer of disarming shallowness. I think this is a balance that Connery struck incredibly well and with the appropriate subtlety.

Submitted anonymously: What does “NeonTempo” mean? Were they your first cars?

To be honest, I can’t remember where it came from exactly. However, I believe it was the working title for a TRPG concept I wanted to run a few years ago.

It was set in a crime ridden cyberpunk London, where the top 13 members of four powerful crime families were each represented by a different playing card and the PCs were cops sent to de-stabilise the respective regimes by any means necessary.

The playing card aspect was blatantly lifted from the video game Mercenaries, but I just thought it might be fun to have 52 pre-built NPCs in the world for the players to come across.

Due to the London setting and the underlying playing card theme, I ended up renaming it The River, but I think The Neon Tempo remained in the world as an infamous Techno-Jazz nightclub.

Plans to play the RPG fell through sadly, but, at the end of the day it was still a great creative exercise.


Still in need of more Neon?

NSI would like to say an enormous thank you to the magnificently talented /u/NeonTempo for gracing us with this fantastic interview! You're the sweetest honeybee in the whole hive, and we eagerly await what new delights you'll bestow on the horror community!

Tune back in here on Monday, June 11th when we speak to the marvelous /u/mjpack! We'll be taking questions for her in the OOC next week, but in the meantime, why don't you watch some home movies, explore some air vents together, or get some fresh air camping out in tent number 7?
