Hey all! Becky/ruffwriter again. Since we all had so much fun last time and I know we're all being pummeled by classes and work, the Original Fiction Drabble-thon is coming back for another go! The idea of this is to write something, anything at all, with your own original characters ( Read more... )

Write something in a genre you've never touched before.

Marten-Cresnick had, in my very humble opinion, the creepiest damn elevators on the entire campus. It was an old brick building-student scuttlebutt said it had been a bomb shelter and let me tell you, getting lost in the basements it's easy to believe, the thick concrete walls muffling every scuff of your sneakers. The elevators were slow and creaky and had lights that didn't always work, crawling up and down their shafts with this weird uneven sort of buzzing hum, or maybe humming buzz. Despite all this, I used them pretty often because I'm waaaaay too out-of-shape to be climbing six flights of stairs three times a week without whining at my roommate. And I love my roommate, so I braved the elevator. I know, my life I so hard ( ... )

I REALLY REALLY LIKE THIS holy. The voice. I really like Jesse's voice--it really drew me in, and as things started picking up, my ears were perked.

Whee, thank you. :)

EEEEEK. :O

I totally loved Jesse's voice here, and the horror was perfectly done. I'd read more in a heartbeat.

\o/ You picked up it was horror! It is, as per the prompt, a genre I've never tried before, so I'm glad it came through. :3

--what? NO, HOW CAN IT END THERE? D: I would really like to learn more about Jesse and definitely more about this voice! Was it the elevator? Was it a ghost?
The build-up of creepy was really well done. I thought it was going to be a college humor story until the numbers, or lack of, made an appearance. At that point, I was like "...horror!" Then more tension was added with the static during the emergency call (EVERYONE PANIC) and then. The voice.
Hogosh, did I mention how much I loved how you did the voice?

(On a side note: the way you differentiated the types of comedy shows clicked with me.)
