First off, if you don't understand how this all works, please check out our help page.
It should answer most of your basic questions.
- All authors are responsible for their own content. We don't write this stuff. You do. So feel free to use a little adult humour, but please don't go
overboard, or we'll have to flag the story as mature content.
- Second, if you're adding a chapter to an existing story, try and stick to the theme, back-story and characters of the original story as much as possible.
This makes it easier to keep the storyline alive and kicking.
- When you're writing, try not to write more than one or two segments of the same story at a time. It keeps the story fresher and funnier if you let others
play along. :)
- Posts need to be at least 140 characters long. That's about three average sentences, not too painful, but it prevents spamminess.
- Finally, try not to kill off the main character in a story... at least, permanently. It can be pretty detrimental to the storyline — it's also useless, as someone is
bound to revive the character.
- If you find a problem somewhere, or see a bad posting, click the red report button on a story or user profile and report it to us!
- Note: Please be careful if you spent a long period of time writing the same branch. It's entirely possible that someone else is completing the same
branch as you, and in that case, since we don't lock posts while you edit, whoever posts first will "win" and you'll have to move your post elsewhere.
Sorry - just ignore me

Also, I do not think that it was wrong to use the past tense verb 'stood', as the events in the first paragraph are set in the very recent past. This is indicated by the fact that we do not hear that eerie word spoken the first time, as we have stepped in just after it has happened."
Might be a good idea to read through your work before posting it. But the story's nice"
I see the idea and think it could have potential, but think the exposition could be expressed in a more engaging way - it's a little dry.
However, the reveal of it being the baby talking was very well done."
