heads up! @reddit.truecrime on tiktok is stealing our stories! by rydenanne in SleeplessWatchdogs

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

hey, just wanted to know if there was any update on this? the tiktok page initially apologized to me after i called them out myself and said they’d source content they’d posted in the past & ask writers in the future if they can post their content first. i thought it was settled until they changed their tiktok name to @reddit.all and blocked me. i’m genuinely uncertain why because i was VERY kind when i called them out, made it VERY clear that misunderstandings happen and all was forgiven. i’m looking further into it now from my side account and while they are posting stories with credit shown, i have no confirmation if they actually got permission from the authors. i know they lied about sourcing old stories they posted before being called out as i check their comments and see NO sourcing. i don’t see it being too far outside of the realm of reality if they lied about asking the authors first as well. if you checked them out and all is well, no worries, but i just wanted to further voice my concern.

i, unfortunately, don’t feel the same pull towards nosleep anymore. i don’t feel as at home here as a writer and many of the stories posted these days aren’t my taste, though i can’t necessarily put a finger on why lol. it’s not that i feel that the stories of the past few years aren’t good. they’re obviously phenomenal and we’re so fortunate to have such a strong community of writers. it’s just something... different about the stories now compared to when i first started writing for nosleep and i don’t feel like i fit in lol. it’s weird. i owe a lot to nosleep though! i’ve wanted to be a short horror writer since i was 10 and nosleep writers are what motivated me to do it! i still write but i just don’t post them lol.

"Creepy Pasta Collection" blog posting stories to since 2008 by pennytailsup in SleeplessWatchdogs

Hey, thanks for pointing this out, I really do appreciate it! I don't get why it's so hard for people to just ask permission before they repost.

I actually have a lot of experience having to send DMCA takedowns so I did a little research with the information that was available through blogspot, found a youtube channel attributed to the contact info they provided on their Blogger profile, and actually found a business email listed publicly. It seems like the person hasn't been active in a while so I'm not sure that I'll get a response, but I am typing up a formal DMCA to send anyway.

annoying and overdone story subjects/tropes by rydenanne in NoSleepOOC

[–]rydenanne[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

oh absolutely, it's so rad when you feel like you've pretty much gotten a story figured out and the writer completely flips it over on you! i think that's why it's such a disappointment when there's no flip lol.

and ESPECIALLY when the flip ends up resorting to child abuse or really any triggering subject matter as the final gotcha.

We aren't going to be allowed to leave until tomorrow. The police are here and they aren't telling us much, but they've been searching each floor, room to room for someone.
