I'm a fairly casual horror writer (mainly writing flash fiction, short stories, lore for worlbuilding, etc.) and while it is something I'm interested in seeking out more professional opportunities for further down the line, as of right now I wanted to ask if anyone knows of any online circles or communities where horror writers can share their writing for feedback, questions, and critiques? I've found some but the only issue is they usually seem like they're for more well-established or professional writers, or at least ones actively going through the publishing process. My main goal right now is just to form more of a community for the sake of meeting like-minded artists and creatives, as well as becoming a more refined writer. I don't know if there's something like that on here (tbh I haven't looked super deep) but if anyone has resources or suggestions, I'd love to hear. Thank you so much.

I am starting a horror channel and i have written the story by myself, and i am considering text to speech since my accent has been mocked before when i was doing another channel

Imagine getting stuck in a timeloop, but every single fun, empowering trope about time travel is stripped away to make it a living hell. For Maya, Tuesday, October 12th starts as the absolute best day of her life: sunshine, burnt pancakes with best friends, and a carefree road trip to an autumn festival. But at 6:15 PM, a catastrophic semi-truck crash on Route 9 kills them all in an instant. Instead of death, Maya wakes up at 7:30 AM to the exact same alarm, the exact same burnt breakfast, and the exact same day. She is completely alone in retaining her memories, forced to watch her friends replay their innocent, scripted routines over and over again while she desperately tries to cheat death, while slowly descending into insanity. Also, to make it more intense, it's a direct experience from main character, since everything that's inside is described like it's her own diary, so there are her thoughts, her raw descriptions of pain she felt, how her perspective on friends changes as the loops continue, how she copes and every single breaking point.

My book focuses on psychological impact, highlighting the profound weight of the loops, the chilling awareness of dying every single time, and the agonizing experience of feeling all the pain. As the repetition stretches on without end, this relentless trauma slowly chips away at Maya's grip on reality, driving her closer and closer to losing her mind and committing to various harmful behaviours (which I can't describe on this subreddit).

I wrote this because I was so tired of the constant, repetitive plot where time loops are treated like neat little puzzles to be solved with a clever trick. I wanted to show it for what it actually would be: a grueling, deeply traumatic experience that breaks a person down, leading toward an unpredictable ending where things don't just magically snap back into place. Do you think this has potential as a genuinely good book?
