I tried to get into the Two Sentence Horror sub because I saw some entertaining examples. The reality is that most contributors struggle very hard to put even two sentences together.

Two sentence horror is bad but writing prompts was the worst.

Reading any writing-related subreddit reminds me of taking community college writing workshop classes. There's some interesting writing and a few standout writers with a clear voice, but then the rest of it is so bad that you can't even provide feedback about it outside of tearing it apart.

For what it's worth that is an actual TwoSentenceHorror post at the top of New as of when I posted it.

Me too. Removing Rif pretty much killed it for me.

I logged into the website the other day and the lack of moderation is starting to show. It was always plenty of poo poo posts but it's noticeably worse now that the mods aren't doing much, if anything more than the bare minimum.

Or I just really saw how garbage it was all along.

Same here. As soon as Apollo said they’d have to shut down I started looking for alternatives. I’ve had this place bookmarked for years, but Reddit had me hooked deep. This is literally my first post.

Which song do you guys most closely associate with your early days of internet piracy? All this talk made this song pop into my head and remember installing Napster on all the highschool classroom computers.

For me it's the songs with the wrong artist listed as the performer. I still have a .mp3 of "Closing Time" by Green Day, and who can forget about The Ramones classic banger "Tainted Love"

I am subbed to r/writingprompts because once in a blue moon there'd be a good one. But the rest is so god-awful, following the same tropes, over explaining, over-expositing, and corny. Very difficult not to cringe out reading it.

The worst part to me was how much terrible wish fulfilment there was, 'oh the aliens find out the humans are special', or 'things are bad except you save it by being mommy's special little boy'.

My favourite characters to play in TTRPGs are character that are kind of just there, like they happened to fall into the work. For some reason it's hilarious and deeply satisfying to me when everyone else has deeply important and tragic backstories (kidnapped as a kid and made into an assassin, forced to save the world by a god, revenge pact with the devil, etc) and my character is like "it's dangerous out there so I had to learn to use a sword ya know?"

My current character wants to be a chef. Open a nice little restaurant. They aren't really particularly special. Decent family life, no dramatic deaths or plots, just has a penchant for cooking. But it's dangerous out there ya know? Gotta taste the foods you might cook, so world tour. Sometimes the mundane can be fantastic if you want it to be.

I too like to play Kevin the Human Man

it’s fun if your character has never seen an elf or a goblin and doesn’t think they are real, or he sees like a purple guy and goes AAAAH OMG WHAT and then the party has to apologize to the innkeeper

bonus if he’s a pure fighter who gets really good at high levels after a years long journey
