More mindless data entry for an hour or so.
What's the scariest story you can tell in one sentence?
When I wake, soft flesh again encases my carapace... yeilding, misshapen, vulnerable, *wrong*.
@tyghebright @MLClark Well that's a total mood.
It's multiple lines in from my cryptid story condensed into one... and kinda better than what I originally wrote.
The whole story idea started from a bad dysphoria morning, where I'd been in my right body while dreaming and waking up was especially hard.
@tyghebright @MLClark That has happened to me too.
About a year ago I woke up and I felt like I was sleeping above the body, curled up in tight little ring, my muzzle resting on my forepaws and then something grabbed and I got slammed down, my eyes snapped open and I was gasping. Hard way to wake up.
👀 It is very hard not to ask to read said story! But I don't want to put another creator on the spot. I'm glad for the teaser, if nothing else!
@tyghebright @MLClark That is a very grabby title... Interesting.
It's based on a popular readathon: GarbAugust, where we celebrate reading trashy books.
I'll eventually have a revised version of the story (Cryptid Singles Camp) on Campfire. I finished it literally a minute before the deadline, and it would benefit from a polish.
I've got some time off at the end of the month and plan to finish up some short stories and publish them on Campfire.
@tyghebright @MLClark Tag me please when you post the links and I'll boost you to the nines! Go buddy go!
Yes! I am totally here for waiting on those revisions, to read the work in the form you feel proudest of. 🤗 Don't forget us, now!
@tyghebright @MLClark speaking as a cryptid, it’s a great line.
