Where's all those 4chan short stories about humans being the "monsters"/ kick ass.

It was written from the point of view of a deer being tracked by a human even when they were out of sight and smell the humans keep coming and they never got tired.

There was also ones written from the point of view of aliens.

Fuck I wish there was a forum version of 4chan. All the best stuff is on there.

Reddit had the humanity fuck yeah subreddit which housed a lot of great short stories

I wonder if anyone has scraped the text of that sub and hosted it somewhere.

I would absolutely love to read this

The latter is called deathworlders. It was written as a short story. The author disappeared for a while. When he came back, he started writing a whole web serial on the premise.

I also remember reading the former, though where is another question.

Thank you so much! I read that years ago and have never been able to find it since. I even asked chatGpt and it wasn't able to find it either. I'm going to go look it up now!

Glad I could help. I still remember reading the forum posts when the author came back from his hiatus. He was almost freaked out by the fact his throwaway story practically created an entire genera of story.
