Hi there! The name is Icydice. I'm very fond of writing and have always been interested in the spooky and strange world of the horror genre. The first time I began writing as a hobby was probably when I was around six or seven years old. I would write kid-friendly versions of Pokémon fanfiction, and I even kept a journal filled with ghost stories (Or as young me would call the journal, "true gost stories"). Since then, I have tried my best to improve as a writer over the years. It's a truly wonderful hobby, and thanks to the Wiki I now have a platform to practice writing and get feedback from others. Now, as for my writing style, I seem to follow a pattern in most of my stories. Make something unique, gripping, and engaging. Whether it be a short story or a long one, I want to capture the reader and make the story an enjoyable experience for them. I'm also intent on writing stories that make people think. I want a story to stick with the reader well after they've read it. Finally, I tend to write stories that make us reflect on ourselves as humans. This sort of ties in with making you think, because if I can cause you to self-reflect and perhaps even question yourself, I have succeeded in my goal. I want you to question what you would do in a certain scenario. I want you to realize that the real world and real life can be a scary and dangerous place. Us humans can be as big a threat as any monster can, and that my friend, is my goal. I don't think there is a scarier topic known to man than our reality and very humanity. Some of my savory pastas include: Ball-Pit: A child finds himself in an impossibly wonderful land beneath the ball pit. He has the time of his life in a seemingly innocent world, but looks can be deceiving. Could there be a much darker secret below the colorful facade? A Silver Flame: A man is awoken by strange sounds outside. Is it just the wind, or could someone, or something, be lurking in the shadows? This story was my second on the wiki and was an entry into my first ever writing contest. Faulty Love: Perhaps not a traditional Creepypasta, this story delves into more realistic issues. This is an entry into the Helel "Bullet for my Valentine" contest, and it depicts a very real scenario of a helpless wife suffering from the abuse of her spouse. Tick, Tock: This was my first ever story on the wiki. It is a short tail describing what happens when humanity loses its most essential and valued resource, technology. How far will we fall when our gadgets have abandoned us? A Christmas Miracle: Another short but sweet story. The jolly man himself comes down the chimney on Christmas Eve, but it isn't coal a very naughty man shall receive.

I don't believe I have too much else going on right now. I happen to have a lot of free time, so I plan to let my imagination run wild and continue writing. I guess that's all for now but expect to see more from me in the future. If you happen to stumble upon more of my work don’t be afraid to give reviews or tips so I can do better in the future. That's the reason I write of course, to get better. Joining this community and meeting many fantastic people has been an honor to me, and I hope to meet more of you. Take care guys!
