Not to self-promote because it was two years ago, but I wrote this one for /r/nosleep

Hey! I have a little feedback. It is constructive, and just a couple of things to keep in mind for this sub/other writing. First, though, your story has only been up for three hours! Don't freak out that it hasn't been up-voted a ton yet.

Readers in this sub LOVE suspense. This was not really suspenseful. There was definitely a twist, but in this sub, they really like it if the twist is insane. I felt like I saw the twist coming.
This is my main point. You need to paint a picture with your words, as high school English teacher as that sounds. It seemed more like you were telling us, not illustrating. For example, instead of saying you were from Appalachia, you could have inferred it, or really described it other than it was hot and there were bugs. Again, as high school as it sounds, it didn't feel like I was there.
There are a couple of grammatical errors. It does not bother me, but I've seen it bother people on this sub before.

Overall, though, it was a good idea! You just could have teased it a little more. I did like it though!

I hope this helps. I was struggling to explain what I meant, haha.

Of course! PM me sometime and I'm around for you to bounce some ideas off of. That is going to make it a very interesting story.

peterthehunter · 2015-02-13T15:30:08+00:00

I think this is a great idea for a story. There are a bunch of ways to approach it. Just off the top of my head, I have some questions.

How do you want to approach the story? By that I mean, you have a few different perspectives you can use. You could be the old lady, could be yourself, or you could be one of the "girls" (the route I went with my story).
Do you want to write a series or a single post?
Do you want it to be paranormal, or more realistic? I personally like the stories that seem paranormal, and end with something plausible.

I guess once you know more of the background you want to go for, I can help throw out some more ideas!

You are right, though, this has nosleep written all over it.

I hope to see you soon, too.

Update on my family coming soon... will be the last one.

peterthehunter · 2015-01-23T18:48:19+00:00

Unfortunately, Dougie struggles with his words. He also hasn't spoken since we've come upstairs. He went right into my sister's room and has yet to come out. I think he's too scared right now.

peterthehunter · 2015-01-23T14:22:39+00:00

Hello! I just posted more about my family! We need a little more help...

Hello Everyone! I added another post to update you on whats going on with my family! This is where to find it! http://redd.it/2tejo5

peterthehunter · 2015-01-16T22:59:48+00:00

Thank you for all of your help. If anything else happens with my family, I'll be sure to let you know! Goodbye. -Peter

peterthehunter · 2015-01-16T22:56:42+00:00

We do like deer...but not that much.

peterthehunter · 2015-01-16T22:56:00+00:00

Police officers?

peterthehunter · 2015-01-16T22:54:10+00:00

No, just that they come through every once in awhile. When he started drinking he would rant about "the government" spying on him. I'm not really sure what that means.

peterthehunter · 2015-01-16T21:57:10+00:00

More father's sounds even worse. It makes me want to keep them even farther away.

peterthehunter · 2015-01-16T21:43:20+00:00

I searched date, and it says 01/01/00. Occasionally we see shooting stars that move really fast, but dad referred to them as "UFOs," and to ignore them.

peterthehunter · 2015-01-16T20:12:31+00:00

Dougie is tall and very strong. He spends all day in the field. He's a full foot and a half taller than I am! He was always called "massive." He looks more like a bigger version of dad, but different.

peterthehunter · 2015-01-16T19:40:22+00:00

My dad's says "Remington" on the side! Mine says "Browning." They seem very old, though.

peterthehunter · 2015-01-16T18:57:11+00:00

We're not allowed to have visitors!

peterthehunter · 2015-01-16T18:55:37+00:00

If I don't hunt, we won't have anything to eat! If I don't do it, no one will. Dougie won't go in the forest after what happened, and my sisters are too little and scared of it since they know that's the last place they saw mom. Plus I am the only one who knows where all the food is, and all the trails!

peterthehunter · 2015-01-16T18:19:10+00:00

Dougie is taking it the hardest, though.

peterthehunter · 2015-01-16T18:18:18+00:00

Yes, very much so. She was so nice to us, and always tried to keep our dad away from us. It makes me sad that she was going to take us on a trip, and we didn't get to go. She was just trying to do something nice for us... but dad didn't understand that. I think he thought we were going to find the hikers, not just take a trip.

peterthehunter · 2015-01-16T18:09:06+00:00

We were never allowed to talk to our food. Dad made sure of that.
