I wasn't initially super impressed with the first one of those (the TOS thing), but upon reading the forum one I liked it as a background piece or an opening scene for the more developed story.

Honestly would like to see more in this canon, if you feel like you should write more.

Edit: Have followed this micro-fiction blog, seems like it'll be fun

Yeah,,,

i guess it was kinda lame

but ty for forum one. it was defo for background sttuff.

I could try making it into a longer story, or a bunch of shorter pieces. I also had an idea a few months ago when I was writing more short stories (as in, those few-hundred-word ones) and made a bunch of them connected (behind the scenes), and I think these ones could connect canonically too.

PLEASE HELP

by elaborating and giivng suggestiins. I also can't think as well rn cuz sleeeeeppy.

Also I made a writing thread and may use that for stuff, like getting advice or feedback and stuff.

edit @Hmmm lies also an issue i strugle with is continuing a story. Like, I wrote a few multi-parters a few months ago but didn't feel like I was progressing the story?

don't feel bad about it, not everything I write is great either. And like I said, I like it more for the fact that it's right before "Concealed Content"

It'd be fun, for sure. (The shorter pieces idea I mean. Though if you wanna make it longer than sure)

Alright lemme see

I think "Unappealable" lacks from the fact that there's not much disturbing in there besides the ending lines. I might have included the content that the user was banned for, and made it something innocuous, or otherwise made the beginning and middle more creepy. (Though I do like how ridiculously long the ToS are)

"Concealed Content" gives hints to a wider universe, which I quite like. There are many different ways to take this, depending on what you feel like, and how optimistic you want to make it. (for example, we seem to have this resistance group, who you could give victories or have fail, depending on how edgy you wanna make the story) I was a bit confused as what the 9-digit usernames mean, as they're too short to be phone numbers, so I didn't know what 'code' they were alluding to.

i was actually considering that.

pov when even you, the author, don't know what they mean:

nah jk I have smth in mind.

Also I can tell you what the 'code' was if u want hehe.

i actually also had an idea for a manga... that i was gonna make months ago but idk how to draw and im slowly learning ig

but i basically wrote the whole plot andeveyrhting and it'd likely be in the same universe.

yes.... *evil grin*

i'll have to work on this some over the weekend or smth (since I actually get one this, sort of!)

Theologian… interesting 

the real question is, what is being silenced?

Sounds cool, although I don't think you would be able to deliver the plot purely through in-universe media like forum posts and stuff like the current stories you have are.

Also, I know this wasn't your intention, but I find it funny that immediately after coming back from your ban, you write a story about evil malicious forum staff lol.

Oh and I do think it would be cool to see more of the forum users we've already seen, but it's up to you if you wanna reuse these characters

Yah, I was actually considering writing that manga thing in either one or a set of short stories/microfics.

Also I'll probably continue to use multiple in-universe mediums, like forums, emails, texts, transcripts, maybe newspapers (think Wax and Wayne hehe), etc., but also some regular stories.

This has potential for some ARG type stuff, if you feel like it.

If that's what you feel like than go for it. Your Wax and Wayne analogy actually works quite well, I do like it when narratives are interspersed with in-universe stuff like that to give more context.

Still not sure how the manga would work like that, but I'm sure you could figure something out.

ARG stuff is cool when done well, but it is so rare that it's done well.

Hmmm imma have to dog through my middle school ARG obsession for examples. Like, Inscryption, or Welcome Home, for instance. 

A manga is kind of a massive commitment, isn’t it?

Ok I should've phrased question better: i have basically no idea what arg is and how it relates so pls just tell me and explain 

for manga, yeah, but I don't have to do a huge one. was planning one-shot to start with 

ARG stands for alternate reality game. It’s like a story told through a bunch of puzzles, very often on websites and stuff. Game Theory has covered a lot of ARGs.

tell me more

i want to know

por favor

Uhhh this is really difficult to describe, i would recommend watching some of game theory’s videos on Inscryption, they are great examples

@Hmmm lies could you explain this better than me?

Typically, an ARG is like some sort of online puzzle I guess, like with hidden secrets and a mystery that needs to be put together. They often have their own website, but not always. 

OH YEAH NOW I KNOW WHAT U MEAN!!!!!

MTG did one sorta
