Hi! 👋🏼

I saw this post from lepper (that's their username) stating that people are also doing this kind of thing/post stating from what country they live in (usually from USA/CANADA) and now from Euroupe. I just want to join in for the funsies and meet other asians like me! Or anyone really who currently live or stayed at an Asian country at some point. 😅

I'm from the Philippines 🇵🇭. How about you guys?

i enjoy horror books a lot, as well as games and movies, but i wonder what the general consensus here is surrounding internet horror and similar communities. just a few questions for horror fans here:

1. did you grow up reading/writing creepypastas, and did that get you into horror books, or did something else introduce you to the genre?

2. do you watch/interact with any horror internet series/args? for those who don’t know what an arg is, it stands for alternate reality game. it sort of a narrative that has puzzles and ciphers the reader can solve, and is often used to tell digital horror stories.

3. what is your favorite internet-based horror story? can be a book too if you don’t know any solely internet-based ones

sorry if this is off-topic from just reading straight up literature haha, i’m just curious.

We've talked about writing instruments but what do you like to write on or in? Could be for journaling, daily planning, writing fiction.

I used a TUL planner with refillable pages for years. The paper is good and takes fountain pen ink well. This year, the format of their daily planner changed so I started looking at different options. Ended up with a Hobonichi Techno, which I quite like. It is taking some getting used to the smaller size but I like the layout and the paper is also nice.

For other writing I have notebooks by Rhodia and a Leuchtturm 1917. These are also very nice to write in.

What about the rest of you?

I think I need some clarification on book forums. I know there's a 24-hour limit, and I know that the creators now included a Go to Forum so we can check if what we were thinking of posting already exists.

My confusion relates to the book journey's. I love going into a book journey and checking what I posted on it, what others commented on what I shared, etc. I've also used it to share screenshots to my social media and Substack of the updates I've shared on there.

So if there's a limit of how often we can post, doesn't it limit my book journey, as well? I used to use StoryGraph and Fable to add all those thoughts, and there's no limit there, but Pagebound is my #1 app and I don't want to use multiple book apps just for this feature—I also just love how Pagebound is so much better and much more engaging.

I also tried updating the progress and then adding a comment, but if the progress gets updated various times during the day, I miss from what part of the book my comment on, since the progress status automatically changes to the new progress set.

If anyone has a tip, please let me know!
