with love, most no sleep stories are just not good. so the likelihood of sitting through a 3+ part story and it being good are, then, limited. i say as someone who enjoys a number of em lmao

I agree. They're frequently amateurishly written and unoriginal, and the longer stories expose the writer's shortcomings in more obvious ways. I still like nosleep too, but the only good stories I've really read there tend to be oneshots. And I usually wait until the Best of the Year rankings to even read the subreddit these days.

I could never get into Nosleep, I'm a Creeps McPasta kinda person

The stories are functionally the same.

Idk. I think the Left Right Game was good, as well as the one with the spore/mold town. And that was definitely more than 2 parts (taste is subjective of course, so I hope you find 2-parters that you enjoy!)

I thought of the Left Right game immediately too.

I think they all tend to go on too long, even the ones I like.

I sometimes listen to the No Sleep podcast while I work and there was this story about a guy traveling on a bus, and he solves bus problems and makes bus friends before getting snowed in at a bus terminal with 3 other buses. Their calls went connect and their cell service is down and they're running out of food and each bus it becoming it's own little tribe and there's an unnatural tunnel through the snow out from the door and

And then I had to quit listening and talk to a coworker and whatever ending was coming (psychological experiment on the bus passengers, they're all dead this is purgatory, one bus kills all the others and then whoops it was actually just a normal storm) went be able to dismount from such a neat and weird premise.

So yeah, in general, endings are hard and most un-edited fiction could do to lose 20% and NoSleep gets it especially hard because horror can become farce in a second.
