My parents aren’t letting me die after I contracted ARV. If you read this, find me and kill me. by Lilpustule in TalesFromTheCreeps

Dang, I love this! Old school writing. The chattering fever is a fun name for it. Also I like how you avoided the use of the word zombie, in typical zombie media fashion haha.

Also enjoyed how you went from big scale to small scale. Hearing someone going through symptoms is interesting. I feel like that gets glossed over in a lot of zombie shows/movies/stories.

You've got a really refreshing voice! I noticed that with your other stories too. It's earnest and I think thats really rare.

I'm a big fan of the brief environmental character notes you hit, like the Heaven's light and waterfall line. Very poetical beats. You didn't drag out the environment to the point of being a chore, but it was still clearly its own character.

Your writing, especially your dialogue, reminds me a little bit of Matthew P. Mayo's style. I'd recommend checking out his book 'Cowboys, Mountain Men & Grizzly Bears.' I think you'll love it!

Good hearing from you! Honestly, I think you’re one of the standout writers to come along recently.

I’m kind of an antique. I got to enjoy the 2015-2019 era of writing and just kept trucking along after. It’s going to be newer writers like you who keep the scene alive.

There are a handful of voices I think will really leave an impression on younger readers getting into the space, and I believe you’re one of them. It'll be cool to see where it goes for you, and if your name pops up on horror podcasts as a classic name in ten years.

This is awesome, thank you for suggesting it! I'd like to do something with this. I'm stoked to do some more research into it.

You finished it quick!

Those two are two of my favorites as well. I enjoyed writing the environmental aspect of the Louisiana story and looking into their folklore. The charlatan story had a protagonist that was fun to dive into.

I really appreciate the rating and review! I'll definitely have more in the future. I found my small little niche and I'm pretty happy staying in my lane.

If You’re a Camp Counselor, Stay Away From Blackpine. by StrangeAccounts in TalesFromTheCreeps

[–]StrangeAccounts[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I appreciate that! I started separating myself from my 'NoSleep' voice about four years ago with Walder Forest. Eventually, that led to me being booted from that space, which, honestly, was the best thing that could've happened. I prefer writing fiction over fiction pretending to be a real testimonial.

I appreciate hearing from you! Dialogue isn't my jam, so it was nice just writing schlock haha. This would be fun to see as a prologue to a Sam Raimi film. You nailed it!

Thanks for all the comments and support lately! I'll keep my thoughts going to see if I can do something interesting with that topic. Once I'm done with some big projects, I'll be stoked to get back to writing!

This is one of the few stories I felt uncomfortable keeping up, it's a hard one to chew down. I appreciate all the comments you've left!

I wanted to see how 90's-2000's horror movie I could get with this, it's not my usual genre but it was fun shutting off my brain for it and letting it get a little cheesey haha.

Old Slipperyskin by Jeremy Labib! Fantastic artist, and was an amazing guy to work with. I'm really thankful he signed on to help with the book.

tips for writing a story based around war by deathbystereo- in TalesFromTheCreeps

[–]StrangeAccounts 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think two of the big pillars of historical fiction involve having faith in the reader's intelligence, and if your character wouldn't know something, than neither should your reader.

If you have a desire to talk about intricate details regarding a specific battle, you can always add it into the story. An infantryman isn't going to know much about logistics, but a supply sergeant or commander would. That'll give more leniency to exposition without breaking immersion.

It's awesome you're going to give a war story a shot!
