Merry Christmas!
Dec. 25th, 2011 12:12 pmMerry Christmas, everyone! Whether you're a RL friend or an internet friend, whether you're just here for the fic or you've followed all my ups and downs (and endured my endless bitching, sorry about that), whether we've known each other for 14 years or just met through RP a year ago, I want you to know that I appreciate each and every one of you. I appreciate that you leave me comments, or even just stop by to see if I've got a new fic posted. And I want to wish all of you a very safe and happy Christmas, and a wonderful new year.
Now, here - have some fic. It's hardly Christmas themed, but I suppose it will have to do.
Title: Truth or Dare
Fandom: Original Fiction
Pairing: None
Rating: PG-13? No sex, a little violence, and some psychological power play.
A/N: This is the first in a series of shorts that I wrote for my attempt at NaNoWriMo this year. I thought I'd attempt a short story collection that centered around the theme of "unconventional horror" - stories that eschew the standard tropes of horror. So in these stories, there are no heroes, people make the wrong choices sometimes, and nothing is ever really what it seems. Rather than idealize horror, I thought I'd try to write it as I imagined people would actually live it - doing the best they could. I'm posting them basically in order of those I'm least comfortable with to those I'm most comfortable with - accordingly, I'm really not sure how I feel about this one at all. I like the idea behind it, but I'm pretty sure it could have been executed much better.
( It all started with a dare, really. Stupid, I know... )
