The Second Writer Collab - Dark Tide: Stories Arcane

We, the writers of AO Writing Hub Discord server (or writercord) have worked together to bring you this anthology!

This anthology consists of three separate short stories revolving around the Dark Seas.

The Last Will

Summary from the writer: A stranded traveler just finished burying their squad member’s bodies there, and they spent their last day in the Dark Seas—as it continued to torment them.

Log of the Lost Captain

Summary from the writer: A caravel of mercenaries have been given a special assignment courtesy of their leader. They have been hired to follow a lead on a suspicious group spotted going in and out of the dark sea. They don’t know who hired them.

The Feast

by @Danny_Zou (helped with the collab organization, and is the one who compiled this whole thing in .pdf format)

sounds about right

No, mostly because I’m the only person aside from the organizers who wrote something for this.

What you should’ve done instead is simply post a prompt, let people respond to it on their own in their own way, and then later link all the responses in a topic and call it a collab. That wouldve been basically the same thing but that way everyone can get likes for their stories and they dont have to wait for others to finish, and it would even be possible for them to integrate the stories into their ongoing series (and if you havent noticed, more people are writing series and less people are writing short, independent stories nowadays)

maybe you could’ve gone onto the writer hub and posted this before the collab ended

actually I’m only replying cause BNT seems to be liking every post in this topic

i dont think anyone actually cares about likes

A lot of people do. If nobody cared about likes, they wouldn’t exist. Most of their function is rewarding likeable posts and topics

ight, im planning to revive writing prompts one of those days lol

let me rephrase: No one above the age of 12 actually cares about likes

I just like how only one person participated other than the mods lmao
