what do you think of horror/ thriller fics?

have you ever read horror/thriller fanfics? what drove you to read them? are you just attracted to the genre? or were you trying to be adventurous with the types of fics you read? or was it because you got bored with the romance and angst in most fics? or is there another reason?

(Quick note: I've always been bored with the romance in most fics, which sort of makes reading stories here a bit difficult... I'm working on trying to appreciate romance.)

ANYWAY: I like horror and LOVE thriller stories. I love riddles and psychological elements of stories. I'm one of those people that will think about a riddle for an hour or more just to figure it out. Thriller stories, when written well, give this sort of adrenaline rush when the reveal comes, and I love that rush.

I love reading horror/thriller fics because I think it's really hard to induce elements of fear through words (its a lot easier in visual representations, like films for example). I am picky however, but if a fic truly sends shivers down my spine then I know Ive hit the jackpot :)

My fav horror/dark fic on aff is called "in memoriam meliora" and its prequel "consisus"!!

I have. Horror/Thriller isn't really the genres I familiarize myself with, but I don't mind checking one out if it seems interesting. That's the reason I've read any of the ones I have in the past, because they sounded cool and interesting, and they were!

i do read thriller/crime fics, quite often actually if im satisfied with the portrayal of the characters. but i can be quite picky. true horror is not my thing, it just doesn’t interest me.

Honestly, I don't read them except for one. One of my favorite writers on AFF just started writing a short horror fic and it has elements of romance and stuff. I was honestly attracted because of the author.
