These stories aren't really stories in the traditional sense. They are all stories told around the virtual campfire on LegendMUD on Halloween. That means that they are completely improvised, with no revision, and you see them exactly as they were told on that night.
That means that these are rough compared to a regular story one might tell. Except for "Deep Wells" (which I have to consider inspired by some Muse who didn't let me make any missteps during the telling) these are ungainly, awkward, and often rambling stories. But they were a lot of fun to "write" live in front of an audience.
As you can see, I've been doing one a year at Halloweens on Legend for some time now, and I hope to keep doing it every year 'til the place shuts down.
