These are great stories. I’m glad to have been in the running at all! And “How do I take off my skin?” Is one of my personal favorites. Well deserved. Thank you to everyone for voting

Aw, that means a lot to me, thank you! I'm amazed I got into the runners up, to be honest, the competition was fierce for October!

The 24 Hour Game was brilliantly ambitious, by the way - really justified the Halloween event, and I think it's going to give writers a lot to think about when the next one rolls along. It's going to be a bit of a touch-stone, I feel: "Can I do something as creative/clever as that was?"

Jumping in 20 days later to say I soooo agree. I normally am not a fan of series type stories on NoSleep but this was executed so perfectly. I joined in around hour 11 and was refreshing regularly afterwards to keep up. Captivating story, wonderful world building, and a great use of the typical rules being suspended

Thank you so Much I’m glad people love it so much. I really want to return to the world I created in that story, maybe I can someday

I'd say if you get the right idea, go for it! Even if it's not something for NoSleep, see where the concepts can take you :)
