Short Stories on the Internet

Postby Danternoust » Sat Oct 05, 2024 9:44 pm

Where we discuss and provide links to short stories on the internet.

"REPENT, HARLEQUIN!" CRIED THE TICKTOCKMAN by Ellison

Computers Don't Argue by Dickson


Computers Don't Argue in more modern terms is what happens when a single LLM manages too many systems and begins to hallucinate.

There are numerous sites where you can read thousands of short stories absolutely free. My 3 favorites are: Reedsy, Storyberries and Lifelords.

Somewhat off topic, but maybe someone here can help me locate a story.

I read it back decades ago in the early 00's; when web/blogs were the cool thing to do. I was a blog but written like an email exchange between a college kid wanting to become a vampire, and a supposed vampire (and/or serial killer). They exchange messages; the "vampire" requesting/challenging/pushing the student to do ever increasing twisted tasks... I think it was called Acolyte; I completely lost track of it, I think the "vampire " was getting near the college location. I would have continued to read it, but this was about the time the news outlet sensationalized blog preying on kids or some such.

Mainly I want to find it again because the vampire messages would be accompanied by woodcut images. One of which I can't find anywhere. That of a cloaked figure with a bug face, and holding a mask in one hand and a candle in the other.

Try tipofmytongue on reddit, let us know if you finally find it.

Internet Story.

The title of the thread reminded me of this. It's a pretty cool video on YouTube that I've knows for a while now.
