Description
Austria, May 1945
A heavy passenger train with troops for the Austrian-German border arrived into a small station a few kilometres outside of Passau. The engines were to take on water, but due to a heavy bombing the previous day, the Danube viaduct they were to cross afterwards was no more. The crews hadn’t received any notifications from anyone as this train wasn’t scheduled on any time tables. Accordingly big was their surprise when they arrived and the guard in the break coach had to run to the station building for a rerouting and status update on the current situation of the German railway across the border.
The front engine of the double header had been uncoupled in the meantime to be switched to the siding where the water tower was located. Her face had collected the dust and ashes from months of work without a wash-down, her eyes were slightly red from not having had any rest for days, constantly pulling troops and munition trains from border to border. But her sister looked no different despite being younger; she had seen as much of the war as everyone else involved.
The older sister nearly reached the points to switch tracks when she suddenly heard a gasp and a shrill “no” being shouted from behind her. She could only look up into the sky for a split second before her world went black. The last thing she had heard was her younger sister shouting her name…--------------------------------
Interested in reading more? Stay tuned for the complete story will be uploaded soon! It'll send chills down your spine and make you afraid of going to sleep that night for this is scarier than any ghost train stories you read so far. Timothy and Shed 17 are shallow entertainment compared to this new and haunting story. There will also be an audio version which will have the appropriate sound effects as well, but for now let's focus on the written story.
It may or may not be real, I'll leave that up to you to figure out.
Ghosts of the Past and all characters are my property.

Glad to see you're still doing your writing and all that. My dad told me that gaining a following takes plenty of effort to achieve. Time, advertising and a bit of luck, eventually people will still pay attention to your craft. No one's losing interest in fan fiction, it just needs enough recognition to make them curious.

Well this is a one off, my main story is still stagnating at the moment. Back before I quit I had 18 chapters whipped up already and had an average of 20 people reading and commenting every chapter. Now it's an average of 2 people.

Like I said, open up to people. Even share your literature on other media sites like Twitter, Tumblr or Facebook. It's way too early for you to give up now. Hell, it's too early for me to give up too.

Then all you need right now is patience. No need to be too aggressive about the attention. I'm pretty sure being a Core member isn't the same as being a Youtube partner.

There's an idea. But I meant your artwork. If anything, you can ask your real life peers if they can look at it if you're looking to improve your craft. I do that all the time.

Ah, well I am in a creative low and drawing depression right now where just picking up a pencil and staring at an unfinished drawing feels like torture, yet I can't manage to draw what I wanted to draw. I am in contact on FB with some people from on here, but I don't get much from them on their either, just mainly to see if there's any grammatical errors and if it makes sense for the written stuff.

Yeh, that's what I'll most likely do anyways till after June. Though last time I took a long term break (nearly a year long) was when that happened with the people commenting on stuff getting less and less.

TheLaughingGiant In reply to The-Orient-Express [2017-05-25 20:05:02 +0000 UTC]
Then try to make sure this break doesn't last as long. Try a week or a day. Somewhere in that time frame.

Well I've been on it for over a week now, hence me coming up with the ghost story idea to put something out there. I won't be able to do much in June as my bf will be here and we'll be out and about then almost all day.

Call me when you've found a way to overcome it. I've been battling with it too and, funnily enough, a good way to counteract it for me is to write and draw and just do stuff that I love.

In a way that I hope is humane. Afterall, they were just curious about what it does. Can't blame them for wanting to find out for themselves.
