You wanted it, you asked for it, now you've got it — for the time being, r/nosleep is suspending some of its guidelines. Consider this an experiment; we'll see how it goes and whether it'll continue long term. Be aware that adjustments may have to be made as the experiment goes on, so check r/nosleepooc for information.

 

IN BRIEF: WHAT THIS MEANS (THE BORING PART)

 

IN BRIEF: WHAT THIS MEANS (THE FUN PART)

  • NO IMMERSION.
  • NO PLAUSIBILITY.
  • NO EVENT OR CONSEQUENCE.
  • NO SCARED MAIN CHARACTER.
  • Want to write in 3rd person omni? Go for it!
  • Want to write in future tense? Go for it!
  • Want to have your character trapped in a time loop but unable to remember that so they repeat the beginning of the story at the end? Go for it!
  • Want to write that our reality is a simulation, or that the world ended, or that we've all been mind-wiped to forget important events? Go for it!
  • Want to post stories that are mostly a list of rules or instructions for a ritual? Go for it!
  • Want to post "It was all a dream" or "I had a bout of sleep paralysis" stories? Go for it!
  • Want to post "I think I saw something scary but I'm not sure" stories with no in-story proof? Go for it!
  • Want your main character to be a mouse or a scorpion or a jetski or a showerhead or a stove? Go for it!
  • Want your main character to be at the bottom of the ocean or in space or in an alternate dimension with no possible way of posting to Reddit? Go for it!

 

We'll let you know if anything changes. Happy early holidays!
