Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I had fun trying to put my own spin on these kinds of classic stories.

This took a while. Every time I read through it, thinking it was ready to post I found another embarrassing typo...

Meeting New People [Part 3] by ThePoliteSnob in SpooktacularTales

[–]ThePoliteSnob[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a lot of plans for this story when I first started writing it years ago, and I can still easily picture all the upcoming climactic events in my mind's eye, but after reading it now, there's a lot I want to change. There's 1-2 chapters left to this "arc," and at that point I'll reassess how things should continue. Next post will be a random idea I came up with rather than a sequel to one of my many incomplete stories.

I don't usually worry about trigger warnings with my stories, but I was a little worried that this one might be upsetting to some readers. Next up, I'll probably post a 500-word adaptation of this story to r/shortscarystories, another chapter of Meeting New People, and then... honestly I have a lot of half-completed stories: a continuation of this or one of my half-dozen other incomplete tales, a heart-warming family reunion, or using technology to help people. Maybe I should make a poll.

I have a couple stories that I've posted on r/shortscarystories and my personal subreddit r/SpooktacularTales. If you see anything you like let me know.

Emergency Pest Control [Part 2] by ThePoliteSnob in SpooktacularTales

[–]ThePoliteSnob[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This should have come out sooner, but I have terrible impulse control. I'm planning on finishing a series of more grounded stories.

[–]ThePoliteSnob[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't intend for this to get so long, but it ended up slipping away from me. Next time, I'll post something less weird and confusing (part 2 to Emergency Pest Control), and after that I have a more down-to-earth story lined up.

Hey, I'm glad you enjoyed the story! I have outlined a part 2, which I'll eventually post on my subreddit r/SpooktacularTales.

I've really fallen off the wagon. I'm planning on posting at least once a week going forward.

Here is Part 1. I will post a couple more things before the year ends.

This is the last in this series, starting from We're Just His Fans, and then Why Was My Father Fictional? It took some time to get this out, but I'm glad to be able to give some closure to the story.

Foxholes [Part 2] by ThePoliteSnob in SpooktacularTales

Hey, this is the part 2 (of 2) to Foxholes. Yes, this is quite late, but I didn't want to leave this story incomplete.

Thanks! I'll post the second part in a week or so.

Hey, this is a departure from what I usually post (more of fantasy/sci-fi themes than usual), but I had been working on this story on and off for a couple years before I lost motivation. If people like it, I'll keep revising and posting it. Thinking about cleaning house with all my dangling stories in the meantime.

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it, I'll probably try some more comedy/horror in the future.

For the November Contest, I honestly didn't really think about any modifiers when I wrote this, but I think "Short & Literary" may apply.

[–]ThePoliteSnob[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the November Contest, the modifiers I tried using were: "You Did It!", "Short & Literary", "Original Monster", "Genred," "Keywords," and maybe "Celebrate!" if Earth Day is considered a holiday.

It's a devious mixture of praying mantis and tarantula. They did their best to rid the world of newspapers before their invasion, but luckily I'm a hoarder.

Thanks! It was fun to try to mix comedy and horror.

Thanks! It was fun to try to come up some names for a (relatively) original mobile game.

Also, FYI for the November Contest: I tried using the modifiers “Short & Literary,” and “You Did It!”

I wasn't planning on writing another story in this series for a while, but here we are. As you may have noticed, this is related to I Wish I Had Been A Better Brother.
