I'm gonna go with team reddit, but I'm interested to see both. I think I just lean more towards internet junk (especially probably fictional reddit stories) because that's where I spend most of my waking hours.

Okay, I'll be that guy: the left path on the picture is a one-way from the wrong end.

Also, voting for psychopathic children first.

I am curious to learn more about psychopaths as children. There's so much misinformation out there.

Hands down, the first. I was thinking about your answer that went into some length psychopathic children while I was on a bit of a drive today. The words child and psychopath conjure up shades of little Wednesday Addams. Haha, compare and contrast. Seriously though, at some point, I would like to read longer pieces.

And oh boy Reddit’s psychopath subs are are a good place to see where psychopathic myths are spawned.

Those are

Both of these promise to be fairly long.

After I thought about it I decided to delete the last two words, ended up posting it instead and this site doesn’t let me edit. Creeps

Look! It happened again! Only one word though.

By the way, I enjoy Reddit for cat pics and snarky comments. It’s OK to be a bit cruel at times over there. Not often personal though unless it’s a public figure. It’s definitely got it’s own culture though, just like Quora.

I don't spend almost any time over there. I heard about this story from one of the Youtubers that I follow, and he included the Reddit link in his video description, so I read it. The differed from the video (whole version of the story, versus the condensed one), and those details were pretty informative about the story being fake.

Both sound interesting, although I personally like the sound of the first better!

My comment got chopped off...

Since the Reddit one is made up, do that one first. The true crime one is real and therefore a lot more interesting probably. Also, I do love a brutal true crime story...

This one is pretty brutal, so I am sure you will enjoy it.

It looks like that is the one that got the most votes, so I started working on it this afternoon.

I think you should do the reddit post first, and save the best for last! (it’s only my opinion that the true crime one sounds more interesting)

I'm going to buck the general trend and go with the crime first thought I will be quite happy with the Reddit fanfic

It is certainly an interesting story, and the person writing it insists that it's true, but there is much to it that makes me think it is exactly that, fanfiction.
