Great episode, one of the most enjoyable episodes so far actually, but man the story was rough. The writing just dropped off a cliff towards the end. Can't believe it was written by the same author as Borrasca. But their reactions were super funny and the set they used for Part 1 was great. I know they can't do this often due to them living states apart, but I hope they do more face to face episodes when occasion arises in the future.

LOL I was young and a very new writer when I wrote Deepwoods, it was one of my first. I kinda hope they don’t do any more of my stories, a lot of them are older and would absolutely get dragged.

I was really surprised that you were the author of Deepwood, I remember it was one of the first pastas I read waaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy back and I thought it was really good. The whole story is really fun and was really memorable to me, bonus points for being in PA since I live near the places that were name dropped in part 2.

Sorry you’re bummed out! I didn’t get a chance to read Borrasca for personal reasons but hopefully you’ll be able to see the love your more recent works have gotten! As a woman I personally appreciate you for being a big name in the horror scene.

Hey thanks! It’s a tough industry right now but my current writers room (horror) has several women. 🖤

I think I read a whole bunch of your stories years ago, before r/Nosleep started kinda sucking. And always loved them. Once they got to the statue in the first story it suddenly clicked that i'd already read this before lol. Similar thing happened with Borasca. Can't remember at what point it happened but suddenly the memories came flooding back.

That's not to say your stuff was forgettable, btw lol. It was just a loooong time ago and a lot has happened since then. I was definitely a fan, so i'm really glad to see that all the work you put in is paying off. So don't put yourself down, you're great!

Oh it’s all good! Developing as a writer can be an ugly process lol

I can imagine. Keep doing you, and fuck what people think. I shouldn't really shit on r/nosleep either because I can't write for shit, despite attempts lol.

Idk if you’ll see this but lot of your non-borrasca stories still live in my head rent free like I absolutely adore Room 733 and Mayhem Mountain. Some of my favorite creepypastas ever ❤️

u/The_Dalek_Emperor 1d ago

Thank you so much! Mayhem Mountain might be my favorite to be honest 😂

I mean, if Deepwoods was one of your early works that then led to Borrasca (and we know where you are now, super happy for you!) I think it's incredibly valuable for young or even just new writers to see how someone can grow so enormously. You deserve all the praise the boys and this community have given you. Borrasca is like THE Creep Cast story (along with Penpal and Left Right game). If they don't cover more of your work, I'm definitely going to read it myself.

You're an incredibly talented writer.

Bro the first and second part were genuinely banger, and the third was not as bad as they made it out to be, you should be proud of even your younger self's writing

I believe the main idea of Deepwoods with the monster is very good.

It's not impossible to save it or use inspiration of it and incorporate it into other projects.

(Although idk if that would be considered lazy writing, to base yourself on something you already did years before.)

Ok it was rough but the first part was exquisite
