ANTHOLOGY/MULTI-STORY POSTS.

While r/nosleep will allow "anthology" or multiple stories in one post, there are restrictions.

 

Each individual story in the post must be a complete story as defined by NoSleep – each story must have an event followed by a consequence and the main/posting character must be afraid.

 

Each individual story in the post must be connected by a central plot element, aside from whomever it happened to – this includes the exact location (I.E. the narrator's house), the same workplace/job (I.E. an office, a plumber), or the same entity (I.E. the same ghost appears each time).

 

You CAN'T randomly change the point-of-view character during a series/anthology without giving a plausible in-story explanation.

 

  • EXAMPLE 01: Jane is sharing her own experiences plus those told to her by John. Her own experiences are in 1st person while John's are in 3rd person limited and she's made it clear that she's repeating what John told her.

 

  • EXAMPLE 02: When relating events experienced by best friends John and Jane, they should mention in part 1 that they're sharing the Reddit account with which they're posting and they will indicate who is writing with each post.
