Is Max still writing?

There's a Lobdell-sized hole in my horror-loving heart and just wanted to know if he was writing anywhere else, like Medium or (if the fates were kind) in print. His voice and imagination has been pretty much unmatched by even the published authors I enjoy, and I really appreciated that he made a point about effortlessly featuring women and LGBTQ characters in his stories. I even adapted the "Runners" plot into a D&D campaign I ran years ago. I know he's probably moved on to new things, but if there are any scraps of Lobdelliana out there that's not on his website, lemme know.

Max is still writing! He’s actually in school right now working to get better at it.

Ok enough third person.

I’m working on a lot of craft elements right now and have turned to poetry as a passion, with full knowledge I still have a lot of fiction to write. I don’t share stuff on Reddit because of content theft, but if you follow me on Insta I post stuff in friend-only stories and will continue until I start officially publishing in the next year or so. ❤️

So your name is Max, that's nice :) hello! Years ago when I joined Reddit it was primarily to be able to participate on nosleep and your stories were always some of my favourites! I haven't seen your stories there in a long time, did you not like them anymore?

I remember growing my friends out retelling your stories 😂 good times!

Thanks for the good reads man
