Description

*This is my first time attempting to author on Royal Road and as such I cannot find a true series to write. Due to this, I will occasionally produce one shots or add on to existing one shots on this page. As such, do not believe too much of what I marked in the genre boxes. I will try and update as much as once a week but I procrastinate things like crazy so start out by hoping for by-weekly updates first.Welcome to McShot's Crazy House! I am Mr. McShot, the lord of this incredible house you are now residing in. In each door resides a different world with a different story. Of course, looking inside for too long may hurt your eyes so I will limit the amount of exposure. Plus there is food and magic aplenty. May there be something to your liking.

    There is no coherent story here.  The collection devolves into single line paragraph format-poems?  The weird formats and fonts quickly left me confused.
    Sometimes when there are collections and drabbles, it is fun to just read along and see where the stories go.  Sometimes it is fun to see what kinds of things the author thinks about. These stories never leave the generic nor do they appear to have any common theme.
    Style: There is no common style, but they are all done as if a few plot-bunnies were thrown together.  It can be kinda peaceful reading along as if something will happen.  Sometimes an author will have different random things come together and sometimes this does happen
    Story: Often there isn't a story at all, and the framing tale itself is soon thrown aside.  Mostly it is the author commenting on the crickets.  Chaucer has nothing to fear here.
    Grammar: This is full of partial fragments and mispellings, and paragraphs are not coherent.  Some of the stories are poetic in style but the stanzas do not connect, nor do they show consistency in whether there is meter, rhyme, or alliteration
    Character: The characters are one-dimensional and generic, possibly on-purpose.  You can make meta-fun of other stories and genera in this way, or make literary comments about the state of writing in this way.  The author does not do this.
