![]() It gained hundreds of thousands of followers because of that schtick, and got the admins' attention, which lead to it becoming a default. Nosleep's popularity is absolutely because of the believability and immersion rules. Hell, I read news stories on the internet all the time.Īnd addressing your points about our popularity: Just because you're reading a story on the internet doesn't mean it is immediately fake. There are plenty of story subreddits that aren't there for fiction. There isn’t really much “immersion” to really be grasped, besides yourself choosing to get into the story. Even if all these rules are followed perfectly in the post, how does immersion really matter when you are literally reading a story posted to a horror subreddit. Would you believe a post on r/legaladvice that said "my uncle murdered me. Can you for whatever reason, not be immersed into a story just because it’s in third person, or the narrator dies, ect? How do I know this? I remove them all the time.Ģ. ![]() If we didn't have the believability rule, we'd be inundated with zombie apocalypse and "everything's normal for me but no one can see me, oh no I'm a ghost!" Stories. The forced creativity tends to lead to more enjoyable stories. Oddly enough, something that you're complaining about hindering creativity actually insipres inspires some of the most creative things. And yes, you'll get the "found document" stuff a lot, but you also get creative examples like Hell Radio, where iirc there was a device that allowed the narrator to submit stories to earth from Hell (where he travelled to through a portal, not by dying), or the story relatively recently that had the narrator trapped in another dimension, but his PHONE still acted as if it was in our dimension (called his girlfriend in our dimension, opened the news and reddit in our dimension). Have you read the rules lately? Aside from stories where the narrator is dead, every single example you gave can happen on nosleep with believable framework. I just really feel like there is so much creativity out there, but 90% can’t be posted here. ![]() Three things for people who like this ruleĭo you really like sacrificing mounds of creativity so you can imagine the story being real slightly better?Ĭan you for whatever reason, not be immersed into a story just because it’s in third person, or the narrator dies, ect?Įven if all these rules are followed perfectly in the post, how does immersion really matter when you are literally reading a story posted to a horror subreddit. Really the possibilities are endless.īut all of this creativity is just straight thrown in the trash for the sake of “being immersive”. I don’t really care much about if people in the comments want to “pretend” like the story is real or whatever, but are people aware of how much creativity is taken away by the immersion rule? Stories from different perspective such as the second and both thirds, stories from other worlds, other reality’s, stories where the narrator is dead, stories where the narrator is a monster ect.
