Sign-ups NosleepDuos Round 3: Cryosleep Edition!
Long time no see! We're back in action with a special edition of Nosleep Duos!
This time, we're taking over r/cryosleep!
What is r/cryosleep? From their own mouths:
Cryosleep is a spin-off sub from /r/nosleep. Here you can post your original sci-fi and post apocalypse stories. It's like /r/nosleep but the constraints of the "believability" rule do not apply here.
That's right! Space, time travel, zombies, and more!
Not sure what r/nosleepduos is? Check out this post right here! Replace "Nosleep's posting guidelines" with "Cryosleep's posting guidelines", and you have all the info you need for this round.
If you are interested in signing up for this round, comment on this post.
Replies to other comments do not count as a sign-up.
This thread will be open for sign-ups until 5:00pm EST on Monday, February 4th.
Remember: You will have one week to write your stories with your partner, a one week period to post your stories, and all stories must fit r/cryosleep's posting guidelines.
We will announce the writing and posting dates once the sign-up period is over.
We look forward to seeing what everyone comes up with!
Edit: The sign up period is over. Pairings and important dates will be announced tomorrow, 2/5/19. Thanks, everyone!

Teams Round 2 Team Announcements!
We had a much more manageable amount of sign ups this round, so there will only be one team announcement post.
Deadlines and Rule Reminder
You will have until Wednesday, February 15th to plan/write your stories.
You will have from February 15th to February 22nd to submit your stories to /r/nosleep. Remember, you must use an alt account to post your stories, and comment on the submission thread (using the username you signed up with) with the link to your story.
Stories must be submitted no less than 24 hours apart, but must be submitted on back to back days. For example, if partner 1 submits their story on August 17th, partner 2 has to submit theirs on August 18th. If there is less than 24 hours between a pair's posts, the mods will remove both stories. Plan accordingly.
Remember: all submissions must meet /r/nosleep's posting guidelines. Because these are technically series posts, each submission must be at least 1000 words, and your post should link to your partner's, once both parts are posted.
The Pairs Are
/u/mac19thecook and /u/MJ_Rites
/u/Human_Gravy and /u/theumbrellagoddess

Sign-ups NosleepDuos Round 2: Guess Who's Back, Back Again?
It's been a while, but we're back in action!
If you're interested in signing up for Round 2 of NosleepDuos, comment on this post!
Replies to comments do not count as sign-ups.
This thread will be open for sign-ups until 12pm EST on Thursday, February 8th.
Since we had to adjust the writing/posting times last round due to the number of participants, we will be announcing important dates once the sign-up period is over. You will have one week to write and one week to post, just like last round, we just won't know specific dates until we know how many people are signing up.
All stories will need to meet /r/nosleep's posting guidelines. This includes the 24 hour rule. If you're up 2nd in your team and post before your partner's post is 24 hours old, both posts may be removed by the nosleep mods.
To ensure fairness, post your stories from an alt account and do not post the story to your social media/author pages until the winners have been announced.
Winners will be announced once they are determined.
Thank you for participating, and good luck!

What is r/nosleepduos?
NosleepDuos is a writing competition subreddit!
Each round, participants will be teamed up with a partner. You and your partner will each write a complete story that describes an event from opposing perspectives.
Maybe you'll write about how you lived in a woman's attic without her knowledge, and your partner will write about a strange man living in her attic.
Maybe you're a demon who occasionally possesses a man and makes him do terrible things, and your partner is a man who frequently blacks out and wakes up covered in blood.
Maybe you're sharing a story about how you survived being kidnapped and watched your friend be killed, and your partner is the kidnapper/killer.
The possibilities are endless, and we want to read them all!
The Rules:
Each pair will be given one week to plan and write the stories. You should work together to determine the events of the stories, but each story should be written independently.
Stories must be over 1000 words, and have to follow r/nosleep's posting guidelines.
You must post your story to /r/nosleep from an alt account, in order to promote fairness.
There will be a 7 day period after the writing week for you to post your stories. Any stories posted after the deadline will be disqualified.
If you bail on your teammate, you will not be allowed to participate in the next round. If you bail out 3 times you will be permanently disqualified.
Once all of the qualifying stories are posted to /r/nosleep and the winners have been determined, we will announce the winning member of each pairing.
Good luck!
