Assignment Bank #2

My next assignment was one I wasn’t very excited to do. I was looking for two four star assignments to complete the eight star requirement and this one seemed the most interesting to me. I have never used reddit and I am highly unfamiliar with it. First, I made an account. Then I was able to make a post. The assignment was to make a creepy story, and I had one in mind. A few years ago, my brother snuck out with his friends and called me saying he has just saw slenderman. I freaked out and ended up having a panic attack on my floor. There is nothing worse than hearing your greatest nightmare is a real thing. It was later revealed, however, it was just my brothers friends playing a prank on him. His friend had dressed up in a suit and was dropped off on the route their car would be taking. I chose to interpret this into a creepy story, and made it so that it would be just my brother and I actually encountering the real slenderman. After I wrote my story, I picked a community to categorize it under and I posted it. The website is very user friendly and easy to navigate. This assignment wasn’t necessarily hard, but it did take quite a while to complete due to the writing aspect. I would rate it 4 stars because of this.

Check out my story and leave me a comment on if you liked it or not!

Your Own Creepy Reddit Forum

Unique to the web, forums provide some of the most interesting modern myths and horror (think Slenderman). For this assignment, create a Reddit account and create a post about your very own creepy story telling of your encounter with a legend. It can be based on an existing legend/myth or a legend you make up yourself. It can as ‘true’ as you want it to be, whether it’s a creepy story that actually happened to you, or one you make up for this assignment (be creative!). See how the community and the rest of the class reacts to your scary story. For inspiration or examples, see the following two linked examples, or google creepy Reddit stories yourself: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/3xg36j/serious_what_is_the_creepiest_thing_that_has_ever/cy4f6mm/ and https://www.reddit.com/r/LetsNotMeet/comments/rvzaq/the_smiling_man/
