Feeling slightly burned out from my original LoD title, so I decided to work on the next project to keep my thoughts fresh.

The next installment in the LoD series will follow Sol’s grandfather and lead up to the original LoD story line.

…

Yes.

I’m one of those jerks.

I’m writing the story out of order.

BOOHOO.

I really love hearing about ghost stories, folklore and the like, and i’m sure there people out there who can relate, so I decided to throw together a masterpost. this collection is the result of a half hour worth of googling around. I apologize if there are any broken links - if you catch one, please fix it. additionally, if you know any good links that aren’t listed here, feel free to add them!

browse carefully - some of these are pretty creepy. lots of violence and swearing scattered around, etc.

Misc:

• Creepypasta Index - Highest Rated (again, haven’t read all of these but there are some classics on here I recognize)
• All-Lies (has some irritating ads, but there’s a lot of stuff on here. take note of the sweet ’90s flames on the bottom of the page)
• DisneyLies - (sister site to the previous link. i’m not sure why there are so many creepy myths surrounding disney, but these are pretty good. also has some pretty rad flames)

Thanks to my mother, I’m now stuck watching the Paranormal Witness marathon on Syfy.

I CAN’T LOOK AWAY.

Some good writing inspiration here however.

Chapter three is coming soon ~
I’m in the process of editing.
Hopefully it will be done sometime this week ~

I’ve been failing horribly in Slender.

Mainly because I have an incoherent sense of direction.

This is a really good article about how quickly people actually die from cuts and punctures inflicted by swords and knives.  However, it’s really really long and I figured that since I was summarizing for my own benefit I’d share it for anyone else who is writing fiction that involves hacking and slashing your villain(s) to death.  If you want the nitty gritty of the hows and whys of this, you can find it at the original source.

…even in the case of mortal wounds, pain may not reach levels of magnitude sufficient to incapacitate a determined swordsman.
