So, I do a lot of writing and decided to create a fun little community for “crappy writing.” I figured I’d leave the good writing for the better communities out there.
I’m hoping the new community will be all about celebrating and participating in crappy pulp horror writing, where people can just have fun with it and not worry about perfection. It’s all about embracing the weird, over-the-top, and messy, without taking ourselves too seriously.
My first story for this new community is “The Man Who Hunted Sea Lions on Lemmy.”
Inspired by the drama I ended up causing in a politics community, where everyone is now convinced I’m a Russian troll, mining “Russian bitcoinz” and posting propaganda on Lemmy.
Why? Because I dared to support voting third party. And, man, some of those guys take it personally! As in creating parody accounts of me, stalking me, posting stats about how much I post and comment. Oy!
So, yeah… And I learned a new term: “sealioning.” I’d never heard it before Lemmy, and when I asked what it meant and how it related to my posts, I got temporarily banned for three days… for sea lioning! lmao
But no worried, it inspired a fun little story for my new community. I’ll keep writing and posting stories there, and hopefully others will join in too!

Oh. Never mind.
My god, I thought for a second I was just being cynical, and this was this person branching out and trying to do something other than making everyone mad, and here I was criticizing it. Nope.

Thanks! DId you actualy read the story though? I think you’ll recognize some of the things said in it! lol
Can I use your name for the next story I’m writing? Not exactly inspired by you, but it’s fun too! But I don’t want you to accuse me of being a troll or attacking you personally. :)

What? No. Why would I do that?
What the fuck?
